They also moved away from the oomph of a band that sounds like Dinosaur Jr. to the mmph of a band that sounds like Teenage Fanclub, with Max Bloom doing his best Evan Dando impression. I must emphasise, when I say \u201ca band that sounds like Teenage Fanclub,\u201d I mean \u201cexactly like Teenage Fanclub,\u201d and should specify that this doesn\u2019t mean the grungy Neil Young-meets-Sonic-Youth worship of \u201cA Catholic Education\u201d or the smoothed out Dinosaur Jr.-meets-Big Star worship of \u201cBandwagonesque,\u201d but the kind-of-wimpy folk-rock that\u2019s characterized their sound since \u201cGrand Prix.\u201d This is literally the exact opposite of \u201cRubber,\u201d the highlight of Yuck\u2019s debut album. <em>Glow and Behold<\/em> is pleasant enough, but considering Yuck\u2019s gimmick was doing a really good job of sounding exactly like a band that emerged from the hardcore muck of the 80s, New Yuck\u2019s gimmick of sounding exactly like the B-sides of a band that emerged from the bands that emerged from the hardcore muck of the 80s, in the 90s, is kind of forgettable. Maybe Yuck\u2019s third album will have them mining the 2000s for inspiration and they\u2019ll sound like the Strokes.
