The 1983 Listening Post - Yello - You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess

Yello - You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess

Sparks worst impulses rear their head again and—what? This isn’t Sparks? Yello?
Oh. Ok.
There are moments where I am positive Yello has been listening to Group:Xex by Xex, like on “Crash Dance”. But Yello had more money and less humor.
Sometimes I wanna swear they are The (conventional) Residents
It’s still annoying. “I Love You” makes me want to throw my phone against the wall.
The original album ends at Salut Mayoumba. Continue on at your discretion.
How was this album NME’s #6 of the year?
