User Reviews: Fakebook

  • Overall:

    The Covers Album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 16, 2002

    I agree with both the other reviews. Except I think that Emulsified is a great song and added a lot of comic attitude to the album. The album is soft and very folksy, so I'm sure Yo La just wanted to let go on one of the tracks. Best track: Oklah...oma, USA. Read more Less

    My favorite

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 20, 2001

    Definitely my favorite YLT album, which is funny since the songs are all covers. But what great covers they are. Every song is outstanding, especially Here Comes My Baby (the only song I had heard the original version of), You Tore Me Down, Speedin...g Motorcycle, and Oklahoma USA. But everything's wonderful, except maybe for Emulsified -- a cute attempt at 50's throwback that gets old fast. I like every album by YLT but this is their best. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Fakebook

  • All Music Guide

    Recommending Fakebook as the best place to begin a relationship with Yo La Tengo is slightly disingenuous, mainly because Yo La Tengo has never made another record like it, and perhaps never will. So, as completely wonderful as this record is (and believe me, it is), it's an accurate representation of one side of Yo La Tengo, and assuming that everything sounds like Fakebook might be disappointing. A collection of cover songs that lean toward the idiosyncratic (e.g., Peter Stampfel, Daniel Johnston, Jad Fair), Fakebook is warm, low-key and lovely, with heartfelt singing and playing that never flags after hundreds of replays. It's impossible to imagine playing this record and not smiling and singing along. A big bonus is a great version of The Flamin' Groovies "You Tore Me Down."

Biography

Yo La Tengo

Yo La Tengo was in many respects the quintessential critic's band: in addition to their adventurous eclecticism, defiant independence and restless creative ambition -- three qualities which virtually guarantee music press acclaim -- the group's frontman, Ira Kaplan, even tenured as a rock scribe prior to finding success as a performer. So frequently compared to the Velv... Read more
