【Just misses all the notes!!】 I fell in love with this ALBUM right away.!! I luv it all: the creative use of seemingly out-of-place harmonicas, the jumpy basslines, the shuffling drums, the warm synths, Ounsworth's semi-mumbling Win Butler/Paul Banks/Bob Dylan/whatever-like vocals. Most of the time I have no idea what he's saying, and I love it.☆☆☆☆☆ The previous reviewer said: "Clap Your Hands traffics in melodic, exuberant indie rock that pairs the shimmering, wafting feel of Yo La Tengo with a singular vocal presence that sounds like Paul Banks attempting to yodel through Jeff Mangum's throat. Or imagine the Arcade Fire if their music were more fun-loving and less grave." That's pretty much perfect. You'll probably find the vocals annoying. Ah well, your loss. I apologize, folks; I was a charlatan. I probably know more about music theory than the majority of human beings, but when artists properly utilize music theory, they create works which last... the fact of the matter is, I haven't listened to CYHSY's debut straight-through in over half a year. After several honest rotations, I suspect that the results will be similar with Some Loud Thunder, CYHSY's Dave-Fridmann-produced sophomore LP. If you're not aware, Fridmann is the wunderkind who co-produced the Flaming Lips' three most recent records and Sleater-Kinney's final LP. His contribution to SLT is laudable: a repeat of the original probably wouldn't have worked. Unfortunately, the songs aren't that good. But that doesn't make it earth-shattering or 5-stars--in my view, anyway. Keep that in mind though when the negative reviewers start weighing in, the ones who just want to be contrary and dislike the album only for having been so fully (and properly) embraced. Everyone's pleasure in this cd still doesn't mean it's the best thing since sliced breaad. It doesn't have to be. it's just damned satisfying, and it derserves a wide audience for that--and no silly dismissals.
