Who Did Not/Is Not Going To Buy Rather Ripped?
 

Me. That's who.

i hate it and wont buy it.

I bought it a few hours ago

Sell out.

I'm getting it; I see no reason not to, it's a fine album.

I don't like it. I seriously can't get into any of the songs. Even 'rats'. I've never not liked a Lee song before.

I kind of feel the same way about it...

But I'm still going to buy it and hope it grows on me... If not, I wasted $16 on a pile of shit.

ive only listen to a few, so i dont know.

how did you get it mr. inhuman.

All I have heard from it is what they have on myspace; Incinerate, Reena, Jams Run Free and Lights Out. I dont know what there is to not like; yes I am going to buy the album. I have not read anything here in gossip about the album because i wanted it to be new and special when I buy it.

Amaranth, you can listen to the whole thing here:

I enjoy the album. I like it more then Sonic Nurse.

Thank you nomadicfollower :), but I am holding out just for the hell of it. what I have heard I do like very much. I will enjoy it more listening to it on something other than my computer.


edit: I will continue to resist temptation!

Hah, sorry to tempt you. I was going to hold out as well, but I haven't the will power.

Some independant record stores will put out albums before the release date. They're really not supposed to do it, but if you look around you should be able to find it.

It's really not a great album. It's only so so. It has some nice melodies and grooves on it, but it really is a step down from there usual LP releases. I really wish they had released a different (aka better) album than this, but it will do. It's not all that bad. It's just not nearly as good as most of their albums in quite some time. I'd give it 3 stars. But from Sonic Youth you really tend to expect more. Perhaps we have just been spoiled with a very talented band who almost never put out substandard material. A lot of other bands put out brilliant material and then release crap-fest after crap-fest. SY doesnt normally do that. They are pretty consistantly amazing.

It's a decent record, I'm going to pick up.

i will be the 1st one in the store on june 13th to pick it up

You guys who have decided that you hate the album really must try not to get so worked up about it. My God, at this rate you'll all be having heart attacks before you're 17.

Ha!

i cant wait to get my mitts on Rather Ripped..

i wll buy it
