Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah, they're a young band that

say they are great, so maybe they are.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

Have you even heard the album? Seriously.

[godsshoeshine]

i thought everyone on this board talks about how terrible pitchfork is all the time

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I've heard a couple of songs. Assuming the radio wasn't deliberately playing they worst songs, they are at best, just ok. Seriously.

I like the fact that people are unimpressed with them, this way they will stay playing at the Blackcat, IOTA... rather than going to larger venues.

Yeah, because Rhett and Mankie are totally tastemakers

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Well people SHOULD listen to me. If they don't, fuckem.
 
 The response to their show on this board was pretty underwhelming.

Oh, Broken Social Scene at Black Cat, where are you now when we need your guidance the most?

[amnesiac]

Well,  Pitchfork isn't the only one raving.
 
 I agree that the show was only okay, but I really like the CD, which will probably make my top ten for this year.
 
 I think the underwhelming response to the show had alot to do with the fact that some people had Arcade Fire-like expectations. The band themselves have said they're not very good live, so I wasn't really expecting much, and left the Black Cat pleasantly surprised.

More like Clap Your Hands Say BLEAH. I have listened to that record a few times now and the lead singer sounds like an inferior David Byrne. In fact, the band sounds like they're trying too hard to be the Talking Heads, the only problem is that the Talking Heads were great, these guys aren't.

They're all right, I guess. I've been meaning to ask what you all thought of the production/recording. I think it's a little shoddy. Unless, they want it to sound that way.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

The production is obviously inferior, and to whoever said they're trying to sound like Talking Heads, I can hear that, but Neutral Milk Hotel comes to mind more rapidly.

[godsshoeshine]

the production is inferior because its basically a demo

In a way, it's kinda refreshing...reminds me of bands basically just starting out w/ limits in the studio. Other times, it's annoying - I can't really hear some of the music.

[allmy$to930]

This should start an uproar.
 
 If the CYHSY album was released by Talking Heads back in their prime it would be considered one of the greatest records of all time.
 
 I think it is a great record despite the backlash that is picking up steam.
