  • Unfair review. 8/10

  • I get the same feeling. Whenever I hear yuck, I immediately want to listen to dinosaur jr.

  • Did you originate as a Youtube Poop maker or something?

    Good review, either way.

  • This album is great in my opinion. No clue what your smoking. Lol.

  • Why did bash Cage the Elephant for "being unoriginal" and then go and "praise influence"

  • *on full throttle, I mean

  • @daddyfatsaxohten holy shit, four whole comments

    tl;dr he mad

  • And here's the kicker! Your definition of 'experimental' is totally fucking devoid of melody in a lot of cases, nor any kind of power a lot of the time. But fuck it, I'll keep watching for the discussion but know this, people watching: if you're a fan of Yo La Tengo or Pavement you will love the hell out of this thing. Strong 8 as far as I'm concerned, since despite it's flaws it does continue to entertain even 8 months after you first heard it

  • the production is excellent as well - I really can't comprehend why you wouldn't enjoy this album unless you had your douchevision or full throttle. Same issue with that Girls record, though I'll admit its praise was far less deserving than what this thing got. This blinder, I guess you could call it, that you have basically has one outcome, and always has done: we get recommended 'experimental' music by your standards rather than solid alternative rock, and that kinda sucks

  • you know, as much as I love your reviews, the recurring theme of "originality' - or your perfection of it - is so ignorant sometimes it's baffling. Good music is good music, no matter where the inspiration came from... in this case Pitchfork, and pretty much everywhere else had it right, this is a really enjoyable album, and the primary reason for that is that it IS a throwback to the 90s. What separates it from the crowd of 'revivalists' though is it's heart: it seems sincere

  • I didn't agree with this review. "The opener" is called "Get Away". I feel if you're going to do a review about an album or band you should at least learn the song titles instead of shrugging them off. I was quite pleased with the album myself and feel it deserved more than a 5. I agree that they don't stick to the same idea, however I feel this is what in a sense made it a better album, I mean why write the same song twice.

  • Loved the Pitchfork dig ;)

  • I agree with the highest rated comment... 5? Really bro? Are you serious bro?

  • Tom Waits.

  • I didn't really like them until I saw them last weekend and I really loved it.

  • Operation = Teen Age Riot, did you realise this?

  • I found this review extremely unhelpful.

  • I like looking at the outside intros of the reviews that match the release dates of the albums.

  • your laugh is hilarious XD

  • Understand the references and the basis on these bands but a 5 doesn't give the album credit, the songwriting and production is good regardless of style. Music always moves between revivalism and innovation so to mark them down for this is a little unfair. Irregardless, great reviews

  • Just a 5? Come on, the album is great! Though the cover art just awful!

  • Tom Waits FTW!!!

    

  • You are absolutely the best. I am a HUGE fan of hip hop. I always am down to hear some good lyrics and music. And I just started watching your videos and they are amazing! I love people who understand music and can recognize hard work and what these guys put into this game. Seriously keep it up.

  • Seriously I would of loved this album in hi school. Listened to the strokes, shins, shout out louds

  • OK.....please tell me what band the got 'holing out' from? That song is great!

    Their sound does make me crave their influences ... A LOT. But I enjoy how eclectic they are. I would argue they are in the position to focus their sound in their next album and that's where we will truly see where they are going. As for right now, I'm just lovin' the fuzz.

  • What's interesting is that my friend interviewed Yuck and he didn't actually know much about pavement at all. Not sure their influences are what everyone think. Don't really by the originality thing. I think this album is worth more of a 7/8

  • @royajp Well surely they know who Yo La Tengo is because the song The Wall sounds so much like Sugarcube it's uncanny.

  • @TheSonicproof oh yeah most definitely. I just don't think they take as much influence from Pavement as everyone thinks
