YO LA TENGO
Yo La Tengo are in many respects the quintessential critics' band: in addition to their adventurous
eclecticism, defiant independence, and restless creative ambition -- three qualities that virtually
guarantee music press acclaim -- the group's frontman, Ira Kaplan, even tenured as a rock
scribe prior to finding success as a performer. So frequently compared to the Velvet Underground
that they even portrayed the legendary group in the 1996 film I Shot Andy Warhol,
the Hoboken, New Jersey-based Yo La Tengo have explored the extremes of feedback-driven
noise rock and sweetly melodic pop, shading their work with equal parts scholarly composure
and fannish enthusiasm. Prolific and mercurial, they have ultimately transcended their
myriad influences to ensconce themselves as a beloved institution of the indie community.

grading
RECORD EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)Ride the Tiger is Yo La Tengo's juvenilia, and they'd create much stronger work a few years down the line, but on its own terms, it's an intelligent and engaging set, and any band that can cover the Kinks and Pete Seeger on the same album and make them both work must be doing something right...(AllMusic)
