I'm not a fan of anemic singing. No character IMHO.

Weak repetitive melodies and flat singing
Not up the ususal excellent RP standards imho
I'll never understand why some bands think flat singing is a good thing and base their sound around it. Oh—and I've seen Yo La Tengo live and wasn't overly impressed. But then I was sick that night, so that could have influenced my opinion. |

Reminiscent of The Monkees' "Don't Call On Me." Bet I am the only one who noticed THIS.

I like Yo La Tengo, but I'd like them a lot more if they'd stop it with the whisper singing.

For me, YLT is one of the most frustrating bands I can recall. Normally, I love diversity and experimentation in a band, but every CD of theirs I've bought (3 in all) had some great stuff and then "songs" which were like nails on a chalkboard. This is a good song, but I won't be reeled in again.

DeafByBeheading wrote:I started with "Fakebook", but I'm not sure that's a fair recommendation. "Fakebook" sounds like nothing else they did, other than maybe a cut here and there. YLT is one of my two favorite bands (last time they were in San Francisco, I saw all three of their shows, back to back to back), and it's certainly tempting to recommend "Fakebook", but I can see someone fall in love with "Fakebook" and hate most of their other stuff. I think "I Can Hear..." is a much more balanced intro.
No disagreement, but I was simply offering something more accessible as a starting point. For example, I would NEVER offer Amnesiac to someone who'd never heard Radiohead, while I'd certainly suggest The Bends. Same here. Hell, get both and compare! 
Still a most excellent tune. |

YLT always works for me...even though I can't understand a word! Their music is just so mellow.

Since that looks like a late '90s Honda (I think) in the driveway, I doubt that... |
