Yeasayer are basically streaming their new album online and there's no thread about it?!
As far as I can make out they've strewn videos each containing a different track from their upcoming album somewhere on the internet and these have now all been found and have been assembled on youtube in a playlist. Here:

Sounds great so far.
I think it'll be average, so I won't bother
Unless there is ridiculous amounts of praise, in which case I'll give it a go.
Then I'll know its average.
Yeah
I wondered why this hadn't happened. I thought maybe it just needed time to catch on, but then the scavenger hunt ended - surprisingly quickly, what type of clues did they give out?
From what I've heard so far it's pretty good, but I haven't given it a full go yet.
I saw them last night in Buffalo
I'm on holiday. New tunes sat well alongside the older, they put on a great show these days.
yeah
i was gonna post a thread but i presumed there was already one and that i'd missed it...
I think the album is weak
Electro-pop and white r'n'b is all well and good but there's no bounce, the good tracks have similar chord progressions and it all comes across as a bit half-baked and flat.
for all its faults I loved Odd Blood, so I'll give this more time but I was really underwhelmed on first listen.
Reagan's Skeleton, Henrietta and the closing track are all fairly good though.
you can now get it all on the Mute website 'til midnight

also, did you Yeasayer fans see my chat with Ira
He showed me his bass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4efccDalOhI (only 10mins long)
You know what
I love it. Had it for a couple of weeks now, and listening to it at least twice a day - and looking forward to listening to it when I'm not.
I love the electro emphasis here, and the harmonies are great...
didn't have big expectations because the other two are a bit average to me
but i actually totally love it, it's this nice balance of bouncy, fun and unexpectedly moving at times.
