Who else loves 'Clap Your Hands Say Yeah'?
DarthCat:
I'd hoped to be able to see them in concert, as they're playing in Orlando, FL (I live in Tampa)- on my birthday, no less- but alas; my b-day is on a Monday. *emo tear*
Merkava:
--- Quote from: TrueNeutral ---Quite fond of them myself. Except the first track from their album. Nothing justifies the existence of that track. It's worse than Pearl Jam's 'Bugs' for chrissakes.
--- End quote ---
Kidding, right? I love that track. It sums up the point of their music. From the preacher-like delivery of one voice to the "clap your hands/but I feel so lonely, but I'd look funny, etc" interplay, you got a symbolic track to their desire to get people to listen and dance to the catharctic music. Plus, it sounds cool.
Inlander:
I love that first track too. It's the perfect start-off for the album - the lead in from that to the when the bass kicks in on "Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away" is just perfect. The first track is like a prologue in a book . . . a prologue to ROCK!
EDIT: Also, I don't really get the whole David Byrne comparison thing. David Byrne sound perpetually agitated, like the whole world's about to fall apart or turn on him. Alec Ounsworth sounds too cool for school - like even if the whole world did fall apart or turn on him, he wouldn't give a shit. I love both of 'em.

i have to admit the opener is pretty average, but the rest of the album is spot on. seriously.
