Pursuant to Warlock's query about rating Yello albums, can anyone tell me what people have against Pocket Universe?
Hi there, I think I can explain people's negative opinion about PU. First of all, it's the first album where Yello have changed their sound SO completely. Many fans who got used to listen to their earlier albums found their new sound absolutely unusual and even unfamiliar. Second, PU isn't the set of various single songs -- it sounds like a complete story, which was quite unusual as well. I mean, those who weren't ready to accept the new Yello haven't liked PU at all. But fans who're well aware that Yello never repeat themselves and are always ready to accept and appreciate anything totally different, loved this album. I think PU is GREAT album. I absolutely love it. "Beyond Mirrors" is the MOST impressive and wonderful song I've EVER heard in my life.
