It annoys me how much I loved these guys at the very begining and people were like 'the fuck?' and now they all love it... They are, and always have been, amazing!!!
Man, I thought I'd have nothing to tell my grandkids granted I have any. If I do, I can tell them that when these guys came out, I was basking in my beautiful college years dancing away to them.
This is my first listen to Yeasayer. I have to say it sounds pretty decent. However, they are a band that would take a while to get used to. Would need a few listens to fully appreciate their stuff.
Both of the albums are amazing in their own right. Funny how all the live versions of the first album's songs are way better than the album ones, as many have noted. Anyway, I think Odd Blood is totally fascinating, and a lot of it's charm comes from the surprise factor when comparing to All Hour Cymbals.
Saw them live on Lowlands, and these guys are AMAZING live. If you would ask me which version of this song is better, I would answer: the live version.
Agree with these guys; The album version is much better. This one almost sounds speeded up. It's not so relaxing anymore, while the albumversion is a great, smooth murder ballad. Much more cool oriental samples too! byebye

I have the CD, and I agree with robohomo: this is a terrible version of the song. Who cares about slick videos? The visceral immediacy and lush sound of the original is totally gone. What a mistake.
I disagree. Although I can't tell which version I prefer I find it interesting that they've changed it for the video. It's not like you're going to go to their live show and expect it to sound as it did on the album. I actually hope they change all their songs for the videos, that is if they will have any more videos for the album.
the version from all hour cymbals is honestly my all time favorite song so, naturally, i prefer that one. but this version of it is pretty good as well and the video is fly
sudio: Totally agreed. This is how the first people noticing the true potential hidden in TV on the Radio must have felt. And then that potential gave us an incredibly awesome CD with one of the best songs of the decade (Wolf Like Me).
It's very exciting to witness the rapidly growing success of Yeasayer. I've been around a long time and have seen lots of bands and I feel like we're watching music history in the making here with Yeasayer. Seriously, guys.

@orangepantherattack It's because of the lyrical similarity to "Down By the River" and the harmonies. That's why.
