When I  first started listening to this album I silently compared what I heard  to the indie rock legend Pavement. Very high praise indeed. The album  has some quality of pace or vocal style that I couldn\u2019t quite lay my  finger on. Not to say that I think this band has achieved the same level  of genius as Pavement, yet they approach it on the last couple tracks.  At times Yuck employs a wall of sound, and rough sounding guitars. On  tracks like \u201cSunday\u201d the guitar comes out more clear and melodically  focused. Not surprisingly I found myself much preferring \u201cStutter\u201d or  \u201cHoling Out,\u201d the songs that showcase the grungy sounding electric  guitar and tinny-far-away vocals. Still, Yuck maintains a very  accessible rock sensibility throughout most of the album. My favourite  track by far is \u201cRubber,\u201d which is a full on shoegazing trip, with  downplayed melodic vocals and the electric guitar a mess of noisy trebly  awesomeness. This track is a slower pace but it feels like a solid  insurmountable rock anthem, with the drums picking up at the end  crashing symbols and snare.
