Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah, they're a young band that
Actually, this is a great description of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. I am not impressed with that band at all.

just bought the album this weekend … there are some really good tracks … the "you look like david bowie" song is great, that line and the way he says it keeps running through my head … but yeah, not earth-shattering at all
I saw them last week at the 8x10 and thought they were fantastic the whole way through. I love their album.
The band themselves have said they're not very good live, so I wasn't really expecting much, and left the Black Cat pleasantly surprised.
bad bands sound worse live, and good bands sound better live. any band that admits to "not being very good live" is probably shite by my definition. i mean really, how many bands do you like that sound worse live than their album? the album is being described in this thread as demo-like for chrissakes.

OK Computer wasn't even the best album of 1997.
Just listening to them now, fantastic album! Great songs such as The skin of my yellow country teeth. Not sure why, but I really like the fact that so many people dislike them.
Lazer, I'm assuming that wasn't a rhetorical comment. Please tell me who, other than Radiohead, delivered the best album of 1997. If it isn't Bjork, then I know you either a) are lying, or b) were in middle school.
the strokes, radiohead, bjork, fiona apple … you've just got it all figured out, frenchpiece.
Best albums of 1997:
Sleater-Kinney – Dig Me Out
Followed closely by Bob Dylan's Time Out of Mind. Maybe Cornershop in third.

Best album of 1997: Too Far To Care
Hey Booker, gimme a call so we can grab a few brews and rock out to my Foghat LP's.
i like the second half of the album.
they were hyped by pitchfork so the scenesters will claim to hate them, but theyre really ok. of course theyre also not all theyre hyped up to be

Without going into detail, I have good reason to suspect that The Black Angels will probably be playing at Coachella next year.
Don't know anything about the Hand Clappers and couldn't care less. That has nothing whatsoever to do with Pitchfork since I have no idea what is going on there since I never bother with it. And that has nothing whatsoever to do with being or not being 'hip' as I couldn't care less what any faux hipsters think. In the end, it's all about the music.

There is a CYHSY track "In This Home On Ice" on this months Paste Magazine CD sampler and instrumentally it's fairly straight forward decent dreamy indie pop. However, once the "singer" kicked in I was ready to pull out my hair. Tuneless, limited range and unintelligible lyrics. One of the few lyric couplet I can make out is something shedding skin like a snake. If this is what the band is about then I'm not interested. Plus, At least on this track there is no evidence of a Talking Heads influence either.
Are people so desperate to find the next thing first, that one Pitchfork reviewers opinion is enough to send them into mass hysteria?
And gotta say that based on my limited exposure to Broken Social Scene that they appear to be making cacophony for the sake of making cacophony in order to cover up the weak songs. Take the track on the sampler disk "Ibi Dreams of Pavement". It would appear they decided that horns were needed to agument otherwise lazily strummed guitars, with little added effect I might add.
