"68/100 Globally disappointed by this second project, besides the effort to make their formula evolve, 100 gecs gets lost little by little in already common sounds and their weirdness doesn't manage to be as percussive.I'm not sure that this album will have the impact of the last one.

"84 YT are still a safe bet, creative, talented, magical, so many adjectives that can describe them. This new project continues to prove the more "pop" ambition of the artist, its content gains in finishing, becomes more accessible. They also embrace this Post-Punk / Dance-Punk wave that shows thi..."  [+]  Reply

"82/100 The "Krautrock" inspiration that Yo La Tengo adopts on their latest project is a really interesting aspect and asset. This album symbolizes imperfection, it's efficient when it's simple, intriguing and fascinating when it gets lost, it's never marvellous but it remains very charming. In an..."  [+]  Reply

"Look, I love First Two Pages of Frankenstein. It's a record that took time for me to appreciate, but that I love like pretty much all of The National's discography. But Laugh Track?
