We love Yo La Tengo and, over the years their music has developed into a niche all their own. A catalog of music running the sonic spectrum from distorted feedback to almost-whispered lullabies. There’s A Riot Going On is not hard, it’s a solid record with enough variety to keep from being boring, so filler tracks here, if you love Yo La Tengo of the Autumn Sweater years, this record will make you happy.

The sound quality of the vinyl is good with no noticeable noise on an average system. People with high-end audiophile systems, and a well-developed ear, will have to review the record to determine its overall audiophile quality.

For the rest of us; we played the track Shortwave, with its subtle sounds and samples, we could clearly hear soft-singing voices, synth sounds, bow on bass reverb, audio from tv/radio samples in the background, ambient noises, minimal guitar notes. The different sounds were audible and pleasing. Compared to the digital, (which is included with purchase) the vinyl was nearly identical.
