No You Cmon is the second of two albums simultaneously released on the same day by Lambchop, the 12 piece oddity from Nashville, lead by the eccentric master himself, Kurt Wagner. No You Cmon is definitely cut from the same cloth as its sister album Aw Cmon, with its stylings being exactly the same, right down to its structure of having three instrumentals and nine songs. However with that being said, No You Cmon is without exception the stronger of the two. The instrumentals feel much tighter ("Shang a Dang Dang" and "Ian 24" kick some serious ass), and the hooks and songwriting are much more catchy and on the ball. Also out of both albums, No You Cmon accounts for the only real rock song in "Nothing Adventurous Please," and my does it rock; they're must have been some pent up frustrations in the studio when they got around to recording that one. Other songs of note like "The Gusher" and "Listen" are also right up there as some of the best of Lambchop's career.

On the whole, No You Cmon is an incredibly strong release and should be definitely be regarded as one of their greatest works.
