The Cloud Room - The Cloud Room (2005)


Genre- Indie Rock, New Wave

Where have I heard this before? Is this a band I heard on the 80's Modern Rock Station about 20 years ago? Of course not, it is yet another band that sounds like they were transported straight from 1985. This is The Cloud Room's debut album. I'm afraid this album will get lost beneath the success of The Killers and Interpol. The Cloud Room lacks the energy of some of the other bands in their genre. It's not that it is a boring album. There are some pretty upbeat, rocking songs and quirky lyrics. It's just that it sounds too familiar. The Cloud Room sounds like a marriage between David Bowie, Interpol, The Smiths, Joy Division…..Well, you get the point. It just sounds too much like everything else. These guys are young and should improve with experience. Not a bad debut. Best tracks are Hey Now Now and Beautiful Mess.

Sharing is totally caring, yo, and Silex - they really care. We looked at their SX-2000U2 USB Device Server in July, which shares your USB 2.0 devices around your network via ethernet.
