II

perfect

This album was unexpectedly good. This is Unknown Mortal Orchestra's second album but it already feels like they mastered their distinct style and craft. Many of the songs have such a remote yet touching effect when one listens not just to the beat and tone of the song but also the the depth of the lyrics. Even though the track "Swim & and Sleep (Like A Shark)" is the biggest hit and probably best song of this album, the rest of the tracks can be just as amazing and memorizing. I really recommend anyone reading my review to really consider buying the vinyl album for these important reasons: 1) Buying this won't be hard on your wallet, guys and girls! Less than 15 bucks as of this writing. 2) This vinyl album comes with a code to digitally download the album anyway so why not? 3) And third, vinyl records sound far out and awesome when played on the right record player. Oh, I almost forget, the cover art is also so unique and incredible.

Ok, maybe that headline reads too harshly. I like UMO a whole bunch, in fact the clever counterpoints between the guitar and singing on this and the first album were downright inspirational, like they made me want to rush home and twaddle with my instruments to make some smooth faux R&B guitar tunes. It's just that both albums are so uneven from track to track. Honestly I think that many of these are being kind of forced into a basic song structure, forced to support several verses and drag on too long. Like, just maybe your pop album can tolerate one or two pieces in sonata form- theme, development, restatement. Maybe they don't all need singing, I mean whoever The Guy is in UMO is obviously, obviously a seasoned musician with a keen ear but it seems like he's afraid the hot hippie chicks won't like his tunes if they don't all sound like Beatles B-sides (and this is coming from a person who would rather listen to UMO, or even YMO, ELO, and/or Sun Ra's Arkestra than the Beatles 100% of the time).

No clue why the vinyl was so cheap. They slapp

This album's got a different vibe -- more dark maybe? -- than the first S/T record. I might be able to say that this one picks up where the first left off in that you still get the fun pstchadelic lyrics, but now you're also getting a more mature approach. It's got more depth now. I love side 2 of the album, it's just got a great feeling to it. I'll never forget the day i got the record in the mail, it was perfect music for that day and I love the packaging and everything. Yes it comes with full lyrics.

UMO is currently on tour with Bass Drum of Death. Attend, or regret it forever.Album? Christian the Lion gives it four paws up. I listen to it on the way to and from work and it helps me forget that I have a job that a robot could be doing. It would also be my soundtrack if I were producing a 70's cop drama with an old crusty "by the book" veteran cop and his hippie rookie partner who has little respect for authority. Both have crazy mutton chops.For $5 (or more), it's required purchasing/listening.

Birthday gift for my daughter. Loves it! Plays it every day. Arrived in excellent condition and in timely manner.

All the tracks have their merits. The guitar playing is really quite great. If you are looking for a real hi-fidelity experience, this is not it. The album actually sounds better in my truck than in my living room. Listening to it, takes me back to when I was a kid listening to 8 track tapes.

Justo lo qué pedí, me gusto mucho

Excelente discoTodo perfecto, a tiempo, muy protegidoSolo que el disco viene levemente doblado pero no afecta en su reproducción.

Highly recommend this album, thank u

El vinyl no venía bien protegido en el envío y la calidad del mismo no es la mejor.

Absolument énorme , ce lp est tout simplement le meilleur de leur production qui n’a cessée de se pop [ ulasirer ] et a trop user des machines et des boucles on revient à cet essai hyper addictif baptisé sobrement II en 2013 et toujours autant en 2019 , du bon rock psyché avec un enchaînement logique de la set list. Soigné et addictif je disais . Le matériel 1 seul bon gros vinyl noir de 180 voire 200 grammes (imself pesé je le trouvais bien lourd !) hyper bien pressé avec un son très dynamique ne gâche rien alors que la pochette est simple ,j’ai rajouté 1 pochette protège vinyle en matière anti statique ce disque le vaut bien !
