Free Music Notes for Prisoners of Love: A Smattering of Scintillating [2 disc set]
Free Music Review: A fantastic overview of the seminal alt-rock band.
Hit: 5 Stars
Yo La Tengo has reached the point in their career where it's hard to figure out where to start with their catalog. Thankfully, they've put out "Prisoners of Love: A Smattering of Scintilating Senescent Songs 1985-2003", perhaps as good an overview as anyone could hope to put together of the band.
Presenting over two hours of music-- the collection's pretty much got all the aspects of the band's sound-- grumbling, down alt-rockers ("Shaker"), fantastic, noisy pop songs ("Sugarcube", "Tom Courtenay"), bright, modern, edgy pop explorations ("Autumn Sweater"), folk excursions ("Stockholm Syndrome"), gentle ballads ("Little Eyes") and the truly bizarre ("Blue Line Swinger", "Nuclear War"). If you don't know what you'll think about the band, this is the place to start. It's where I started after half a decade of not knowing where.
A quick note-- if you're the type that gets obsessive over bands, you might want to spend the couple bucks and get Prisoners of Love: A Smattering of Scintillating Senescent Songs 1985-2003 [3 disc] with a bonus disc of rarities instead. You'll be happy for them later.
