Guest evenflowDDT Posted October 6, 2002 Report Posted October 6, 2002 Yea, I finally got off my ass and bought Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots today. I've seen reviews like "OMG! 5 1/2 stars out of 5!" tossed around for a while and then realized that even if that was totally wrong any album with the words "Battles", "Pink" or "Robots" in the title has to be worth a look, and one with all three is a definite purchase (crappy bands, take note!). I also noticed that a used Transmissions from the Satellite Heart was available so I bought that too. Seeing as how I haven't listened to either yet (at least not all the way through, I'm on track 4 of YBtPR right now), did I make the "right choice" in purchasing these albums?
Guest Incandenza Posted October 6, 2002 Report Posted October 6, 2002 Both are good albums, though after spinning it constantly for a couple weeks after purchasing it (the day before it came out), I haven't listened to Yoshimi very much.
Guest Kinetic Posted October 6, 2002 Report Posted October 6, 2002 I'd call Yoshimi my third favorite album of the year thus far. It got unfairly dismissed because it isn't The Soft Bulletin II, however, so I doubt very many year-end lists will agree with me on that. It's most definitely a fine album, though, so I'd say your decision was a wise one.
Guest goodhelmet Posted October 6, 2002 Report Posted October 6, 2002 Transmissions from the Satellite Heart rules the fucking earth. Much more enjoyable than the soft bulletin or anything else prior. then again, i am a sucker foir simple, distorted pop songs and transmissions has that in bundles! haven't heard the new album yet but i think i'll try and download some of the songs later
Guest Rob Edwards Posted October 7, 2002 Report Posted October 7, 2002 I love Yoshimi, although I'm confused as to why they released do you realise as a single as IMO it's by far the worst track on the album
