Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Sure, there's nothing quite as dramatic here as the incendiary crescendos peddled by Do Make Say Think's Constellation label-mates, Godspeed You Black Emperor! Rather, it seems & Yet & Yet is the work of a group devoted to mapping out the quieter reaches of the experimental spectrum. Do Make Say Think will remain peripheral members of the avant-garde hierarchy for this reason alone, but any post-rock fans desperate for a new fix should find & Yet & Yet a pleasingly tranquil leap forward. --Louis Pattison

4.0 out of 5 stars
A nice subtle aftertaste.,
This review is from: And Yet And Yet (Audio CD)
Being a part of Canadian post-rock label Constellation (Godspeed You Black Emperor being the label's figurehead) means big shoes to fill for Do Make Say Think. Even harder is the task of trying to keep away from the shadow of jazz-influenced post-rock giants Tortoise. Do Make Say Think succeeds fairly well at doing what they're doing, all odds against them.I bought this record on a whim. I had never heard anything from this album, but I loved their previous effort, Goodbye Enemy Airship The Landlord is Dead, so at a modest 13 bucks, I picked it up. The album as a whole is satisfying, but there are some tracks that don't hold up well on their own. Tracks like "Classic Noodlanding" and "Soul and Onward" are accessible and almost catchy, but songs like "End of Music" and "Reitschule", while fitting to the album as a whole, don't play well by themselves. It was a bit subtle for my tastes at first, but after four or five listens, it began to grow on me. This is a soft, mellow and understated album, perfect for a night by yourself. The only gripe I have with "& Yet & Yet" is the fact that sometimes the heavy influence from Tortoise's 1998 centerpiece "TNT" seems painfully obvious. And unfortunately, TNT is a little more polished than this. But in the end though, those things won't prevent me from slapping this record on for many a rainy night.

Today was hot and uncomfortable, I felt sick and inexplicably tired, yet I came home from working in the unshaded sun, put this CD on and felt better. The tracks slide over you as if you were getting into a nice fresh bath, and yet they don't immediately slip out of memory they linger like a glass of great red wine, a pleasant aftertaste.The perfect way to sum up this album, a pleasant aftertaste. It serves many functions, music you can rest your eyes to, music you can do house work or write to, or just turn down low and use it to aid conversation. Wonderful.

BUY THIS!,
By Paul Crossley (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: And Yet And Yet (Audio CD)
For Heaven's sakes, go out and get this record. It contains some of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard. Isn't that enough? If you need more, O.K, it doesn't have a duff track, it beats almost everything DMST have committed to record before apart from maybe the last track of "Goodby Enemy Airship.." and it will not have you thinking "another dull post-rock album". I only give it four stars because the artwork isn't as appealing as usual, but i'm not complaining.
