I finally heard this for the first time a few weeks ago. It's fine. A little too long, and a little lacking in dynamic range, but track-for-track, is quite solid.

I remember loving this, particularly the softer more melodic tracks. It's great as a first introduction to YLT. While it may be a little long, I have a soft spot for sprawling albums like this (The White Album, 69 Love Songs etc.), so it doesn't really bother me.

An outstanding record.

This is a really good album, but not as good as Electr-o-pura or Painful. It's a little bit same-y all the way through, but it's still good good.

Unrelated but this is the album I bought blind that got me hooked onto this record and Yo La Tengo in general:

[Komorebi-D]

Listening to their full catalogue is one of the most rewarding things for any type of listener. This is possibly the finest example of that (I added "possibly" in there because I'm biased thanks to Painful being my favourite album of all time). It's a masterpiece borne from the minds of devout music lovers that goes to show that love doesn't always have to be something extravagant, it can be as simple as a late night conversation just sitting around at home.
