  • Summary: The San Francisco group's fourth album is its darkest in mood so far, perhaps a result of several changes in band membership since 2001's 'The Coast Is Never Clear.'

    Beulah have somehow blended the sounds their last three albums, each a significant achievement on its own, into one career-spanning epic, completely worthy of their reputation; any small ways in which their past work has seemed lacking, superficial, or scatterbrained is gone, and only the best points remain.

    A switch in approach and sound definitely worked for them, and fans shouldn't be put off by Beulah's toughened confidence.

    Yoko isn't exactly what fans of the first three albums might be expecting, but it's still a Beulah album. [#5, p.99]

    One of my favorite albums ever. Its a modern masterpiece that I rank up there with Modest Mouse's The Moon and Antarctica. So terribly overlooked, will it ever get the respect it deserves?… Expand

    A very impressive swan song for the band (no pun intended). Really hated to see these guys call it a day. So, so sad that the realities of modern (& NorCal) life make it so hard for anyone with true talent to make ends meet. P.S. buy the Demo of this album as well; just as awesome.… Expand

    The group skims the frosting off of the cake and becomes aware that the base, their ability to play music, is not there. Darker, just as bad, hopefully a wake up call to stop embarrasing themselves.… Expand
