Yesterday and Today is the debut album by the American hard rock band, released in 1976. Y&T, formed in 1974 in California, gained recognition for their powerful live performances and melodic heavy metal sound. The album features early tracks that showcase their developing style, blending hard rock and heavy metal elements. mbfthrasher 5.0 out of 5 starsIncredible Pounding Hard Rock Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2008 I know it sounds strange but there are two incarnations of this band. The first is Yesterday and Today. The second is Y&T. The difference? Yesterday and Today was a kick you right in your teeth band. Stunning guitar playing by Dave M. An "open" sound that allowed for Leonard Haze to fill in with inventive drumming that pulls you in like you can't believe. Dave plays a flying V on the first album (self titled) that came out in 1976; I heard it that same year and could not believe my ears. As Jimi Hendrix did, Dave combines his V with wah wah to stunning effect. He has an incredible "ringing" sound to his guitar that the V is famous for . . . it is beautiful. Dave pretty much moved away from his wah wah after that but this playing is extraordinary. Next, on "Struck Down" Dave turned to a Les Paul. Regardless, "Struck Down" is another masterpiece in my opinion. Again, there's some "air" in the tempo of the songs that allows for a lot of creativity. On their next LP "Earthshaker" they changed their name to Y&T; in my opinion a signal that their sound was going to change - this LP was a bridge between their previous sound and their new sound. Their new sound depended much less on blistering guitar solos and pounding drums. There was much more "fill" to the music in terms of rhythms and melodies. The music in my opinion changed more to "pump your fist in the air" melodic music instead of "kick your teeth in" music. They moved much more in the direction of rock ballads. Please don't misunderstand; as a fan I am not judging but simply expressing my opinion. Y&T pumped out quite a few good songs; no doubt. However, for me personally there is NO substitute for their first two albums - the self titled "Yesterday and Today" and "Struck Down." These two in my mind are absolute hard rock classics that sear your brain. These two make me want to run through the wall. SGs&Strats 5.0 out of 5 starsAn Album That Changed My Life Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2012 This is the First album by a great little Bay Area band that is thankfully still rocking (playing the fillmore tonight). When i first heard this album in the summer of '76, i was already copping guitar solos from guys like Dickey and Duane, Leslie West, Michael Schenker and Trower but had a tone in my head i couldn't quite find. I heard it as soon as Dave Meniketti played that first intro solo to Animal Woman. Just the right amount of Bite and Aggression. Blew me away. I love basically every song on this but faves are the opener i mentioned before, 25 Hours A Day, Come On Over and Fast Ladies (and slow gin). I jam with these from time to time now. Good cardio workout! During my first paying gig in '82, we covered Beautiful Dreamer. The guys dedicated this to my wife which surprised me no end (we covered a bunch of their tunes). She was the one who wanted me to join the band i was in. Yesterday And Today has gone through alot over the years, including losing founding member Phil Kennemore last year. But i'm happy they still have a following. This like Montrose's first album somehow sounds timeless. Straight Up Hard Rock at its best, i think Mark H. 4.0 out of 5 starsI wish I had you all the time... Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2010 Y&T is one of the great also-rans in hard rock with a career spanning almost forty years. They peaked briefly in the mid `80's but never recaptured their forward momentum and went into decline by the end of the decade. Fronted by guitarist Dave Menniketi who played a sizzling Les Paul guitar and drummer Leonard Haze, the band was rounded out by Philip Kennemore and second guitarist Joey Alves. When their fortunes did start to dive this venerable lineup was carved up eventually leaving only Menniketi. It's too bad because at the beginning of the `80's Y&T was making their best music but unfortunately it didn't translate into sales and headlining gigs outside of their native San Francisco. Still, respect must be given and their debut from late 1976 shows the promise of what could have made Y&T another Van Halen. Self titled under their original moniker, the LP features several quality early metal songs such as future stage favorites "25 Hours a Day" and "Alcohol". "Games Playing Woman" and "Come on Over" are also terrific and "Beautiful Dreamer" closes the set in fine fashion in what would be a Y&T habit; finishing a record with a slow song (not always successfully). Worth searching out for fans of mid-70's hard rock and for fans of the band's 80's stuff. Helpful
