The Whitey Album
 
I wasn't expecting much, but I love it beyond words.
I don't skip a single track, not even (Silence).
How much do you all love it?

screamingskull 03.21.2006 06:19 PM

not very much, i havent got into it yet.

Alex's Trip 03.21.2006 06:25 PM

I think it is really fun, it's awsome. I do, however, skip 'silence', unless I have a headache or don't feel like physically doing it.

krastian 03.21.2006 06:28 PM

I've always liked it. How sick would it be if they busted Macbeth out on tour?!?

Fucking amazing. By far my favorite Ciccone Youth song

samuel 03.21.2006 06:38 PM

Macbeth is my favorite as well.

Everyneurotic 03.21.2006 06:40 PM

i love the fucking album, totally engagging

schizophrenicroom 03.21.2006 07:25 PM

I swear by my statement that Into The Groove surpasses the original in quality. As does Addicted To Love.

Laila 03.21.2006 09:41 PM

oh i loooove addicted to love. most people don't, but i do. and yeah into the groovey is way better than the madonna version.

2 questions: Has the re-issued whitey album been released yet ?

What are the (if any) bonus tracks on the re-issued whitey album ?

1) Yes
2) There's one which I think is an alt take of MacBeth.

I think its superb.

noise + beatbox = great album.

sonikold 03.21.2006 11:16 PM

one of my favorite SY records. i love how those ridiculous beats mix w/ the guitars.

HENRIX NECRO!

AllHandsOnTheBigOne 03.22.2006 12:36 AM

h8kurdt 03.22.2006 10:58 AM

Rob Instigator 03.22.2006 11:27 AM

fucking A I love ciccone youth
it was the third sonic youth album I bought, back in 1988-89
Daydream Nation
Goo
Cicconne Youth
Sonic Death
Sonic Youth EP
Dirty
Evol
Bad Moon Rising

I bought all these within the years 1988-1992.


I love ciconne youth. MACBETH is the single fucking greatest thing on there

here is a funny story about Burnin Up. i have the 12 inch single of burnin up b/w Into the Groovey. I have listened to it countless times, COUNTLESS TIMES, and I rocked it so much.
one day, about 2 months ago, I realized that I had been playing the Burnin Up side ON 33 1/3 rpm!!!!!!!! FUCK! It is supposed to be played at 45rpm!!! I had no idea! It fucking rocks so hard slow. it sounds great slow. It sounds wholly different and heavy. when I play it regular it sounds liek a completely different versiojn. Oh man, now I do not know which I love more....

if you own the Ciconne Youth 12 inch single, the original one, play Burnin Up at 33

check it out and let me know what you think

sonikold 03.22.2006 11:46 AM

i can't imagine how low watt's voice would be at 33...


iii'mmm buurrrnninnnn...

amestria 03.22.2006 12:09 PM

I haven't seen the reissue yet, but an alternate version of MacBeth is not a bonus track. It's on all the other versions too (the versions from the 90's). Everyone says that it is an instrumental version, but if you are a SY fan then you know the original is also instrumental. So on the old versions there are both versions of the song.

MACBETH
 

guitarpro 03.24.2006 02:24 AM

I love Thurston's rap on it

joe11121 01.20.2009 12:16 AM

Macbeth is definitely my favourite track from this album, and i love the video, other good songs are addicted to love, children of satan/third fig, and two cool rock chicks listening to neu!

deflinus 01.20.2009 12:57 AM

definitely a great collage of music pieces

macbeth is sonic youth in another fucking universe

noisereductions 01.20.2009 12:28 PM

I think this record is brilliant as an experiment, but also super-listenable. I love it big time.

I think Macbeth is an evolutionary step in and of itself. Pre-Radiohead Radiohead.

Jeremy 10.26.2011 06:36 PM

I never, ever got into this record.... I feel for experimenting they took away a lot of what made them so good in the first place. But that was probably their intention.

Half these tracks are awesome, half are ridonkulous, but by the end, you can't tell the difference anymore.

They have suggested when asked in interviews they might be open to doing another one. Gaga Youth? Might be just the thing to break up the awkward separation vibes.

Mortte Jousimo 10.27.2011 08:37 AM

I love this as much as the "official" Sonic-albums! Only song I don´t like that much is the new version of Nature Scene. I have Goofin´re-release.

noisereductions 10.27.2011 09:12 AM

I've said it before, I love this album.

Pelle 10.27.2011 03:09 PM

Earlier I've just listened to a few tracks and I didn't like it and I had problems "getting in to" it, but after buying it and listening to it al the way through it became a favourite of mine. It's incredible! I think it's an album that has to grow on you.
Macbeth is just fucking awesome.

logicalharm 10.28.2011 01:25 AM

The piece in Me and Jill is quite nice. Steve has a sweet speaking voice.
