5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing album!, August 30, 2004

I'm a fan of classic/progressive/hard rock stuff (Led Zeppelin, Rush, Pink Floyd etc.) and Yello's 80s albums are the only machine-based music that really impresses me.

Flag isn't exactly like anything else I've heard. It's ridiculously attractive album and "Third of June" is one of the most powerful rock songs I've heard. Yes I said "rock" because this album really rocks. In different kind of way though.

This is also the only album that EVERYONE I have played it loves immediately. It's amazing that this wasn't a HUGE hit when it originally came out. Stella, Flag and You gotta say yes... are Yello in their prime.

Personally, I don't care about the new techno stuff at all, they should never abandon this original and experimental stuff they did in the 80's. This album is amazing, I own about 3000 CD's and this easily goes to my top 10.

Priceless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection, November 28, 2001

This album is a good follow-up to "One Second". Very similar in sound, although this record is more thematic in the concept of a race. Flawless musicianship, perfect mixes, unbelievable clarity and a barrage of well-written, well-contrived material adds up to another great album by a great band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Majestic and Expansive, January 31, 2000

If they ever make a movie version of 'Speed Racer' this would be the soundtrack. Of all the albums by Yello, this one is the gem that get's played the most. The best cross-country driving CD of all time!
