Probably The Destroyed Room.

You know? That's a possibility, as I never actually heard the Destroyed Room. I'll check it out.

maybe you should have bought The Destroyed Room. And The Eternal. Then the band would have made money, and yr mp3's would be tagged correctly.

Yeah, the first copy I tried to download was just The Destroyed Room. I'm sure it's that.

But I give it a 9. It's not perfect, but it just hit the spot. It makes me realize how sub-par RR really was, and I liked RR.

I want to hear it a few times before I say what I really think.

Maybe you should have bought yr face.

sucker.

shit keeps getting better with each listen.

A generous '8' from me.

i'd say 8

it's definitely a grower. i didn't like poison arrow or what we know at first, but then i caught myself humming them one day. they're really really good songs

Malibu Gas Station I love it. This album is amazing!

I gave it an 8. The high points (Malibu Gas Station, Calming the Snake, Anti-Orgasm) are awesome. I love the bass line in Calming the Snake. However, I'm not a huge fan of Poison Arrow or Leaky Lifeboat.

A high 8. I like it, I love it, I want some more of it! It's marvelous and I can't wait to see them perform these songs live.

I gave it a 7, but it's a high 7.

I've only listened to it once (via the stream on the front page-no money right now), but it just seems like too many of the songs sound pretty alike.

However, I will say its standouts (Sacred Trickster, Malibu Gas Station, Walking Blue, Massage the History) are some of the best SY tracks ever...

I gave it an 8. I'd give Nurse a 9 and Rather Ripped a 6 for comparison. 6 is as low as any Sonic Youth album goes with me. Bad Moon Rising is an 11.

agreed. Just got my copy last night. One listen so far. I'll be back later.

After careful deliberation I gave it a well deserved 7/10

8 please,
