Yeasayer - Odd Blood

If there is something I could compare this album too, it would almost be a rock opera, such as The Who’s Tommy or Pink Floyd’s The Wall. The material is questionable. The average person would be scared off by the lead track. It starts off with banging pipes and the feel of a dark sewer with fighting robots. It soon recovers. The second track is still a bit weaker, but Tracks 3, 4, and 5 really take off. There is a lot of techno, mixed with guitars Possibly flutes. However, they drop immediately with track 6. It starts off with what I determined as someone sniffing in residue cocaine. Very weird nightclub music. It got loud and for track 7, there was too much percussion. The came back strong on track 9. Very good song. Overall a pretty decent album. Overall, B-
