Well, when it's good it's great, but when it's not you will notice. There's a good amount of usual Yo La Tengo effortlessly subtle genius wonder songs going on, but there is almost just as many awkward tracks that bog the album down and interrupt the flow.

Yo La Tengo will be remembered for their successes -- their bold song-writing, alternative
eclecticism, and superb melodies -- in addition to their obvious failures. Summer Sun with
its incredible atmospheres and failed experimentation not to mention a lack of commercial
success, certainly, fits this narrative. Summer Sun shines like the New Jersey summer sun
shines. It is atmospheric and elegant but fleeting.

A summer, but a very depressing summer. This isn't the summer feeling that I get from Bomb the Music Industry's "Everybody That You Love". I envision summer as Vibrant, Fun, and Alive! This album just has a dreary and lucid vein that keeps running and running the whole album through. Not crap, but definitely not Yo La Tengo's highest point. 3.3/5
