This album is embarassing. I don't care what band it is, it's a bad bad album. Since no one is here to talk about it, I'll do my impressions of them... "this album fucking sucks fuck you." - Cantankerous ... "yeah, this album souns like a bunch of demos." - Everyneurotic ... who else defected? Oh well. You get the idea!

Also, Murray Street was their last great album. If you just like really awesome guitar playing, it's one of the best.


i thought nurse was their last great album and then a thousand leaves before that.

You're a bunch of sonic haters.
fuck fuck fuck.

atsonicpark 10.31.2008 03:07 AM

bahaha.

nice parody reply.

greedrex 10.31.2008 03:10 AM

it's not a parody reply.
i think that ALL sonic Lps range from good to excellicious to a certain extent.
And since you're here, although you do fookin' rule, i hate it when you say an LP is "decent". What the fuck. You sound like a warner bros A&R hahahahaha.

SonicBebs 10.31.2008 04:06 AM

Murray is fucking excellent! What are you lot on about?

Sympathy for the Strawberry, Karen, Radical Adults, Rain on Tin, Plastic Sun.
end of.

Rather Ripped has got a shit title but other than that i like it

atsonicpark 10.31.2008 04:16 AM

Just because I like (or love) a band doesn't mean I like all their records. I'm completely unbiased. Sure, as a natural human tendency, I might overlook some flaws on a record if I really love a band, I might try harder to see the good side of things.

Rather Ripped is an awful record.

wrong (except for 1k leaves is great)

gohleekwang 10.31.2008 06:19 AM

rather ripped is an OK album but might be the worse from SY, sorry...

RanaldoNecro 10.31.2008 08:59 AM

Its them experimenting a pop format...

Whats the problem?

Rob Instigator 10.31.2008 09:14 AM

I just think it is time for thurston to stop wtriting songs on acoustic guitar.

Strange take. I dont agree. I like this phase. I mean, out of MURRAY ST, SONIC NURSE, RR and TREES I like RR the least. But it sounds good. And I like the songwriting on all those albums.

and its got pink steam. the best god damn good fuckin song ever


In Rainbows sucks. popish. and I like them less after this, and for their stupid behaviour.
they recorded only one album that counts Kid A.

RanaldoNecro 10.31.2008 09:31 AM

Its just what comes out. Nothing more than that...It is not as conscious as you think...

Wow, I really have to disagree Mil. I mean, AMNESIAC is like a way better version of KID A. And OK COMPUTER, THE BENDS and IN RAINBOWS are all fantastic.

mil_pl 10.31.2008 09:42 AM

I like Amnesiac too, but it's like half album that is listenable.
Ok Computer is good, but not the best record of the last 25 years,
so I don't rate it so high. The Bends same as Amnesiac, only half
album. and In Rainbows, is just better than Hail to the Thief, not
fenomenal. and for Rather Ripped one more word, it's good album,
but not that good. but I hate when people are sayin' : "oh, it's
so commercial, oh.. how could they record that?!" (and most of
that people are listening Radiohead) you know what I mean?

lechaoscestmoi 10.31.2008 09:53 AM

commercial or not, i hate rr simply because it's shite.

noisereductions 10.31.2008 09:59 AM

I remember reading an interview with T that said that RR was really inspired by tween shiz that Coco was into. I dnt know. It seems like an interesting idea, really. It's not THAT far removed from the Ciccone Youth concept. Maybe people will "get" RR 10 years from now and appreciate it more.

[Sandbag] 10.31.2008 10:01 AM

again
radiohead wanted a different approach to their music for In Rainbows, an approach that it is not what i like from them. (because kid a, httt, and amnesiac is what i like from them)

same with sonic youth, they knew what they wanted for RR, otherwise they wouldnt have released it. maybe it was like a bunch of pop summer songs to say goodbye to the label or whatever it was... thing is, 'that' approach to music its not what i like from them. (noise, experimentation, improvisation,etc its what i like from them)

still i rate in rainbows and rather ripped as good albums.

lechaoscestmoi 10.31.2008 10:19 AM

fuck radiohead, rather listen to the bad seeds myself.

sarramkrop 10.31.2008 10:24 AM

I thought that you had said it was the end of the thread earlier.
