dude, I can't believe I reasd this whole thread. I feel almost as dumb as they arguing.
almost.

I don't.

is it just me or does it seem like everyone has heard the album?

.......i diDnt read the wHole thing but, im with you guys .. the NEW Sonic youth is the best .... the old stuff is awesome ......AND THE FUTURE IS UNTOLD - BUT LOOKS TOWARD THE SKY
...the whole thing is just progression .....

but what i dont get is why the hell some one would come to this forum if they dont like NEW sonic youth... cuz that means they just actually like the memoris of sonic youth's past .. not sonic youth in the present tense .....
BUT MORE IMPROTANTLY
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU COME TO A BANDS FORUM AND THEN DISS THEM
THAT JUST PLAIN RETARDED
ECSPEACIALLY WHEN IT IS MADE KNOWN THAT THEY VISIT AND READ THE POSTS..

Or is the best song off of Rather Ripped

I find sonic youth have done way more effective minimalistic songs than "or" and "Do you bel..... rapture". It feels like there's something missing to them. I like the Destroyed Room way more than Rather Ripped to be honest. Fire Engine Dream is where it's at!

on rather ripped 'or' didn't really catch me.. but when they played it in brussels i got goosebumps right away...

we're gonna go to d.c. and hang out . . . . .. . . . . . go watch girrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllllsssss . . . . . . . . . rock. . . .

yeah this song was fuckin great live . . . lee knockin the wood n all . . . but i still prefer pink steam from the album.

Same, pink steam was the most satisfying song for me. But Reena and Incinerate bring back good summertime memories

I could go with OR being longer. I can imagine Kim and Thurston having discussions about he and Coco going to DC to hear Kim and her band playing, and it made be think that they may read the discussion board (which comes first - the music or the words). I thought the song was pretty much a lot about the mundane stuff we take for granted (as Seinfeld was a "show about nothing"), and it was interesting to get a glimpse into their world.

Or is too boring for it to be 10 minutes long. If it were, I would have just thrown Rather Ripped in the garbage.
