The Meaning of 8
Fucking Christ this album has one of the saddest songs I've ever listened to. I probably should have mentioned in the earlier Cloud Cult posts that the lead singer's infant son died when he was 2 in 2003(or 2002 idk). Think about the title of the album now. Realization is setting in. Your 8th Birthday made me cry like a little bitch when I listened to it for the first time after finding out about his son. Sure the other albums have songs that relate or deal with his son dying but this album probably handles the loss the most directly(did that make sense?). But amid all of their sad songs about dealing with the loss they also have a bunch of songs about being happy and all that jazz. Unfortunately this album lacks the "happy" songs that made Advice so good but never the less, I still think you should listen to this.
