It's a great revival of noise pop, noise rock, shoegaze, takes the influences from all the right bands, and makes something great of their own with that. I can't give you an analysis of what is "so great" in Yuck, it's a fairly straightforward album, but for what it's worth, it worked for me. And contrary to what you could expect, it has grown on me after several listens. On the other hand I thought The Suburbs was a very good album, but with exception of a couple of tracks, I'd rather just listen to Funeral again.
Don't get me wrong, this game allowed me to re-evaluate Yuck positively, and I'm not saying it's bad - I was pleasantly surprised by the re-discover. But I can't shake off the feeling that everything they do has been done, and better, before. Now, that's maybe just me with my 90s indie obsession (Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, Pavement, are among my heroes), and I definitely can imagine the appeal to younger audiences, but I can't see it being more interesting than The Suburbs, which is not a perfect album, but is still more appealing and personal IMO.
