    So glad I saw them live at Sònar in 2002 presenting this album with the original old documentary projected in the background, one of my desert island album, for sure... please make a vinyl version asap!

      Yo La Tengo's post rock album. Amazing. Closer to 'And Then Nothing..' than any other YLT release.
      And, in my opinion, one of their 'must have'. A few bands in rock tested their inspiration in almost any possible nuance, with such humilty and never missing the 'trademark' and their qualities and traits like YLT. The Love Life Of The Octopus is one of the best post-rock tracks ever written. Take care of it.

        A beautiful album. I listen to this a lot when I'm reading sci-fi books and it's great to listen to while studying as well. The instrumentation of YLT really shines in this album and these albums are very strong. 5/5
