All Hour Cymbals

The debut album of Yeasayer consists of nice art-rock/pop songs. Their second album (Odd Blood) has more highlights, but on this album the overall quality is better. I like the way Yeasayer always finds a way to write and present a song in a way it stands out from the “normal” pop/rock format.

This was really interesting. Will listen again. 4 stars.

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Wait for the summer

Likes the vatiety of instruments.

I think this album petered out in the final third but overall it was super catchy and a solid art rock album. The first 3-4 songs were great.

One of those albums where you'll be saying "This reminds me of [insert indie band here]" to yourself after every song. Vaguely Middle Eastern/South Asian sounding psychedelic rock. Kind of a mixed bag with some bangers and some total misses. Second half was better than the first. I think I enjoyed it though. Interesting choice. 3/5.

I didn't find this to be especially "experimental." But it was pleasingly eclectic without feeling unfocused or like a bad pastiche of styles. I liked it. Fave Songs: 2080, Sunrise, Wait for the Summer, Germs

I added this album to my library some time ago but I don’t remember listening to this. I liked the exotic beats well enough, but nothing really jumped out and seized my attention. Not bad though.

Experimental rock, worldbeat, neo-psychedelia. Ni fu ni fa.

This was a pretty cool album. Very unique yet modern and artistic. Wasn’t overtly catchy with the lyrics but the instrumentals made it so. Listened to t a few times and didn’t find it to get boring. Would revisit this for a nice mix of indie art rock. 6.9/10 (nice)

Some interesting textures at play on this LP, but none of them ever coalesced into something solidly catchy to hold on to. A full album of strongly rhythmic tracks like ‘Forgiveness’ would’ve rocked, but what’s presented is just too diffuse and meandering to leave much of an impact
