Review of Yellow Magic Orchestra

I was turned on to this group because I love Kraftwerk but this band does have its own sound, although I don't like it as much. Some of it is a tad more chaotic, like the first track Computer Games. It gets pretty good but you have to wait nearly 2 minutes. It's a damn good track once it gets going! Firecracker follows right after as the same sound so it's pretty much a 11 minute track split in two. Simoon is a mess and it's hard to describe it but it doesn't work at all. Tong Poo features a nice female voice and has this sound that spoils the whole song, this "oi oi" type cat call. I'd love this track if it wasn't for that. The rest of the album pretty much follows suit. Some of it is good but there's something missing and it just doesn't flow well and doesn't really 'grab' me, like Kraftwerk does.
