ReviewsRanked #31 in Spin's 'The Top 40 Albums Of 2011' -- "With radiantly drowsy melodies, riffs that scrungily sparkled and/or fizzled, and lyrics that huddled on the hyphen between passive and aggressive.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Tracks like 'Georgia' and 'Holing Out' tear by with sandpaper efficiency and no little impact.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The whinnying guitar riffs on opening track 'Get Away' are dead ringer for Dinosaur Jr...", "YUCK is a satisfyingly catchy re-enactment of what would happen if J.Mascis, Kim Gordon and James Iha had formed an early Pavement tribute band.", "The band borrows everything great about late '80s and early '90s indie-rock, piercing together the formidable hits of this compelling era into a cohesive and enticing record.", "Yuck delves into smooth harmonies and an occasional shoegaze-style breakdown. Echoing, breezy melodies are the main focus...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The hooks are particularly strong, abetted by a decorator's touch for texture and tone.", Ranked #1 in Magnet's '20 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "It's the tug-of-war between brute guitar force and vulnerable-sounding vocals that makes YUCK so compelling."
Additional InformationYuck's update on shoegaze and Amer-indie guitar rock of the early '90s is spot-on and often thrilling.
