This sprawling, ambitious album is Yo La Tengo's 16th, and marks their 25th anniversary. It is also a new culmination for a career that has been swinging upwards again since 2006's I Am Not Afraid of You. a new generation of fans is discovering one of the most influential and intriguing bands in late-20th and early 21st-century rock 'n' roll. This is the definitive Yo La Tengo album. Popular Songs crosses a ton of different styles while marking a musical journey through pop history AND the band's history. It ranges from the foreboding wah-wah of the opener, Here to Fall, to the gorgeous, Georgia-sung Avalon Or Something Very Similar, to the concise, Ramones-driven summer anthem Nothing to Hide, and then to the three, very long songs that close the album, ending with the 16-minute drone freak out jam, And the Glitter Is Gone.

Fred D. - 26/Mar/2021 5 of 5 Stars!
This is one of my favorite YLT albums. It highlights their ability to shift from melodic dreamy pop to outright guitar noise. And I've seen them live, they can reproduce that stuff on stage! This album even features some tunes that lean soulful in their productions. But I love them for their "NOISE!"
