Rather Ripped — is it a good title?
 

Not sure, myself. "Rather" is a bit weak, no?

I think the Sonic Youth fans are rather weak.

They need to get ripped, and think about the title.

i know what you mean, i prefer the titile "do you believe in rapture?" i thought that was a good title

I'm so glad they went with Rather Ripped instead of Do you believe in rapture cauze that just sounded so cheesy to me. Rather Ripped is cool.

I dislike the title. But anything is better than Sonic Life. Seriously.

Amen.

ha ha. very funny.

i think kim had the right idea with rocked up.

haven't heard the leaks yet...

that's what you are going to say when you buy the album and all it has is a 15 minute version of the band laughing at you and ending with steve's only solo vocal performance in the band's discography by proclaiming at the end "we took your money and you spent it on this SHIT! FUCK OFF!!"

then, it's when you'll understand that you have been "rather ripped"-off

No, it doesn't matter. Yes, it was an old record store...no word if that's relevant to it.
And yes, I love the title.

my first reaction when i heard the title was, "dear god, it sounds like a richard simmons tape."

so no, no i do not. but hell, it's better than "sonic nurse."

agreed...Nurse and EJSTNS are their two worst.

they should call their new album...DIANETICS AND THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH.

Thurston said on the bbc6 interview it was as if to say "dude, that guy is rather ripped" as in the pissed out of his brains way. Don't know if that's true or not but hey.

Is this interview available on this site somewhere?

Incredibly fitting considering how pirated it is.

yeah, sonic youth are older than the rolling stones

go listen to something youthful, like fall out boy

Yes. FALL OUT BOY!

I too agree with the original title of Do You Believe in Rapture. Rather Ripped is kind of lame. It has nothing to do with the album.

rather ripped? i think it sounds really good!

without having listened to more than reena and incinerate:
maybe the whole album is rather ripped compared to all the other albums
