It so effectively hits you warm in the gut with distortion and stick-to-your-ribs melodies that you won't just wish you were 20 again; you'll realize there's no subscribed age qualification for that wonderful feeling you get while listening to this record.
What elevates Yuck above the typical nostalgic, lo-fi noise revivalist is how the band defies predictability by shifting styles and directions between, and even within, songs.
Yuck distinguish themselves by knowing their way around around a catchy, emotionally evocative song.
The album is really something that’s greater than the sum of its parts, thanks to the band’s instincts and intuition.
Theirs is an easily digestible, less angst-ridden take on grunge, with a fizzing, infectious youthfulness to it.
Yuck are at the moment entirely unable to shake off their influences would present a problem if their songs weren't so damn enjoyable.
Yuck’s debut will remind you of a time when the mainstream reinterpreted Kurt Cobain’s wardrobe as a way to market rebellion to teens, and it will mostly be enjoyed as a well-enacted 90s homage.
‘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.
Listening to Yuck is kind of like having a conversation with someone who agrees with everything you say. Pleasant at first, it eventually and quickly feels useless.
Yuck's latest album is a fun embrace of the sound on classic albums from Dinosaur Jr., Yo La Tengo, Elliott Smith, and many more artists and bands considered "90s."
Ultimately, Yuck is the work of a band in its infancy; too engrossed in worshipping musical deities to lay down its own ideas.
Edit: Rubber might be one of the best songs I've ever heard holy shit
Get yucked
I had a great fucking time with this album, I love this shit. Noisy, slightly Shoegazey, and super catchy. All of that combines to grab my attention. Get Away is probably the catchiest song I’ve heard in a long while, my god. The melody and the guitar riff are already constantly stuck in my head. The Wall also has those same elements, while packing a bit of a punch. Rubber is easily the most Shoegaze song ... read more

Muy pocas rolas pueden ser monotonas, pero en general es excepcional lo progresivas que se vuelven muchas.
