beg borrow or steal this albumYes, Yo La Tengo is the most underrated great band out there, and this collection of rarities and B-sides proves it. While the instrumental disk may challenge, the majority of disk one proves the luminary talent of the band. At times plaintive, playful, or just downright noisey, the music shines.

Okay, but...This is an okay album, with some really good tracks, but it has the obvious problem that any collection of B-sides and outtakes has: outtakes are taken out for the simple reason that they're not strong enough for album release. Unfortunately, they're even weaker when they're taken out of the context of the other songs they were recorded with and jumbled together on an album by themselves.I give it three stars simply because YLT outtakes are often still better than other artists' regular albums.…

Still, this is for fans and collectors only. Novices to YLT beware: you might get a completely wrong picture.
