New Jersey indie rockers Yo La Tengo had already been slowly growing into their sound for over a decade by the 1997 release of their revelational eighth album, I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One. Their guitar-based pop was steadily finding its legs before this, as the band moved toward increasingly dreamy productions on albums like Painful and Electr-O-Pura.

ReviewsIncluded in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", Ranked #19 in Nme's 1997 Critics' Poll., "...I CAN HEAR THE HEART BEATING AS ONE is wonderfully sprawling and diverse, with a rock curator's attention to detail and the odd in-joke thrown in....An impressive mixture of curiousness and guile, all told....", "...confirms what their last few albums have intimated: They've become our best old-school indie-rock band....Their muted, after-hours guitar drone is in full effect. But splashes of piano or acoustic guitar add depth and airiness to the songs..." - Rating: A-, 9 (out of 10) - "...this is a band that not only delves into their vast record collection but figures out what makes their faves tick; and their tickers beat as one...", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Yo La Tengo maintain a tension between aural deconstruction and sharp songwriting. The album has its share of perfect pop songs....HEART proves that Yo La Tengo can master nearly any pop style...", "...16 Examples of Nashville-Recorded, Dreamy Pop Sleight-Of-Hand...", "Lovely and Catchy in Its Mix of Shoegazer Drone and Pop.", "Ranked #8 on Spin's List of the "Top 20 Albums of the Year.", "This album is a long journey. It has the stretch of distance covered and the domestic intimacy of sitting in a small space and watching things go by the window...", Ranked #5 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll., Ranked #78 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.", "...influences ranging from Jobim and '60s French pop to the Jesus & Mary Chain and the Beach Boys...bound by occasional dollops of greasy feedback....YLT fully indulges its desire to make noise, bridging the drone gap between '60s VU and '90s Tortoise..."

  • Would have been a better album if it was about twenty minutes shorter.

    The best tracks are Autumn sweater and Green arrow. I love the more adventurous music this band create. If you google the best album by yo la tengo it says this one...but for me ‘there’s a riot going on’ is a lot more original...there are grungy tracks on this album and I find a couple of minutes is enough...there’s a whopping ten minute piece on here which I would always skip.... but the two stand out tracks that I have mentioned make it a worthwhile buy.
