to be fair it's only the 2nd time I've heard it, but I won't lie, tapping my toes profusely. All Hour is definitely better but this is still infectious as fuck.

Respectable in its experimentation. Doesn't quite live up to its predecessor but still a solid release. Favorite tracks: "Madder Red,"

"Ambling Alp," and "Grizelda."

Ambling Alp rules. Saw them on Jimmy Fallon and were really good. Listened to this a couple days ago and it's pretty good, but nothing special.

i don't mind sifting through mediocrity if it involves finding two or three golden songs

Their first album was creative and awesome. A lot of people dig the first songs and can't get into the rest but I think the entire album just has interesting vibes.



This album just sounds like they tried to filter their sound through some danceable indie framework to make pop tunes. It doesn't work at all and comes off as corny and totally fake.

"With Odd Blood, it appears that Yeasayer want to bring the party and play the role of the philandering bachelor well. But this bachelor is also destined to a life of playing second fiddle to the better man; sure, he’s fun, and you might even take him home, but let’s not kid ourselves. You don’t commit to spending the rest of your life with fucking Yeasayer."

i love this quote

Clearly looking to expand their listening audience, Yeasayer poppify their unique & eclectic sound on their self-produced 2nd LP 'Odd Blood'. Leaning more towards combining 80's synth-pop with an indie aesthetic, the Brooklyn-based band only occasionally integrate the world music influences prevalent throughout their debut. At its very best, it is extremely catchy, with the highlight singles once more loaded towards the beginning of the album. But even with less experimenting here, they still are unable to eradicate the filler. Recommended Tracks: O.N.E., Ambling Alp, Madder Red & Mondegreen.

Honestly, some of the songs on here remind me of Donkey Kong Country.
