END OF THREAD.

amen, sister.

I love "the Eternal" and really think, that it is as good as "EVOL" (maybe I´m the only one in this gossip, who has this opinion). But if Sonic Youth is going to split, they split. I think it is great, if band thinks, they have nothing more to give and decide to split. I think "the Eternal" is best end of the career that any band could have. But of course I´m glad, if SY makes many great albums in the future, now it seems, that there is no reason to split.

The Eternal is great...but not the Album to end it with. I wish their last release would be all of their songs mixed together to make awesome noise or somethin'.

All of their records are pure gold.

they're not over, it's just the beginning :)

Why did Royal Trux break up?

That would be sweet.

a double album using more instruments. horns, violins, synth

please,
no

Synth maybe, but for the love of God no violins or horns...

Wait...NYC Ghosts and Flowers and Murray Street had horns...

Yeah but they're used quite discretely, as a background or something. They should not be a proeminent element. Also, I love synths but I can't see them working with SY music for some reason...

exactly I'm not looking for them to take the lead or do a solo just as an add to or some weird from nowhere sound. SY is a guitar band and it must always be but a few extra instruments here and there might be interesting.
A mandolin, piano there are just so many instruments out there I think it would be interesting to see how they'd use a few of them

They can use whatever the fuck they want. but I'm pretty sure the main idea will lie in the guitars.

Honestly I can't see it work if it becomes too noticeable even in the background. To each their own I guess.

They should do another project like Ciccone Youth. Rip into some pop songs.

I think synths could add a cool texture to their sound... but who knows. When Jim was in the band, they had a few additional instruments, organ and harmonica and shit, if I remember correctly.. laptop stuff obviously... but it was all subtle.

Sonic Youth are "under".

The Rolling Stones are still going, so why not Sonic Youth? They could tour together as the two longest lasting groups ever.

Have you heard a song called I Love You Golden Blue?

Yes, and as far as I know there is no horns, mandolins, violins or whatever on it.
