Worth buying for the title alone, Yo La Tengo's latest signals a slight return to their prowess of I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One. From the opening 10+ minute guitar jam of "Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind" to the straight pop of "Beanbag Chair" YLT let you know right off that despite the album and song titles, this ain't no novelty release. Throw in the falsetto soul of "Mr Tough" and already it's their most eclectic effort to date, which can make it difficult to listen to as a whole. Better in chunks, I say... unlike the title might suggest, beating your ass in and of itself isn't enough - other body parts need some beating as well.Ladies, feel free to start with my ass:
