I don't normally review albums


That being said, this is possibly one of my favorite albums of all time. I don't normally review albums, as I feel that everyone has their own styles and tastes. It's not like any other Yo La Tengo album, and I guess a lot of folks may not like that.

It's somewhat calm and mellow, and seems to almost follow itself. It seems the album needs to be listened to as a whole, not in parts.

Then again, it's just my opinion.


A pleasant album.
I read some reviews and was curious about the buzz people had towards this group. Prior to listening to this CD I never heard of Yo La Tengo. At first listen they reminded of alot of other groups I enjoy. I guess we consider this ripping groups off, but YLT manages to pull it off as a successful tip of the hat. I am still a newbee to this band but they have me hooked to listen to a few more CDs in the future. .


I'm in the minority, but I don't love this one.
Of course, what's likely to happen is that on some steps along the way, there's going to be something that I don't care for, but I'd prefer this than constant reinvention of their earlier records. One of the things I absolutely adore about Yo La Tengo is that they've never stood still, each album is an evolution, an experiment, a step in a different direction. And sometimes, the change produces heights that I couldn't've dreamed Yo La Tengo would reach to.

For me though, "And Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out" falls more in the former category-- it's an album of sublime difference from all their other records, but for me, it's more a miss than a hit. The album is rife is organs, programmed beats and a very modern vibe. It's certainly intriguing and lots of folks like it, it's just not for me-- too many of the pieces feel overlong ("Everyday"), forced (the droll "Last Days of Disco") or just not terribly interesting (the much loved by everyone else "Saturday", so I suppose you should take my criticism with a grain of salt.

There's a couple standouts here and there-- the band's too good not to pull something off, the bouncy "You Can Have It All" is a sublime pop song with a great groove and the pastoral "Our Way to Fall" is really something, quite unexpected even from a band as diverse as Yo La Tengo. Still, "And Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out" just isn't an album I could get into.

Always almost great
. 3 1/2

Tengo has brought a pretty consistent, if compositionally mellow buffet of songs for many of their later works, always eluding greatness by just enough to garner an array of eclectic boy/girl alterna-pop minor innovations instead, and this of course is no exception, but maybe moreso the rule.


One of my favorite
I had never heard of Yo La Tengo before and this album served as a great introduction. I happened upon this album while browsing at Tower Records. I now own quite a few of their album but this one remains one of my favorite album of all time.
