Goo is probably their most accessible record, in my opinion. I have friends who really don't like SY but love "Kool Thing" and "Dirty Boots". Still, I like this record a lot. I know it's hated on quite a bit by some people cause it's their first major label record and whatever. I think maybe some people don't like it cause they feel it was kind of a let down after Daydream Nation, which is understandable, but you've gotta evaluate the album on it's own merits and not just write it off cause you thought they'd never top Daydream. Anway, I really do enjoy Goo. "Tunic" is one of my single favorite SY songs of all time, the guitars on this track (and the whole record really) just seem to buzz so perfectly, and the tone of the song is just so dark... I love it! Also, the intro to "Cinderella's Big Score" is amazing, in fact, the whole song is pretty good, but that intro always sticks out in my mind. "My Friend Goo" sucks, I really can't stand that one at all, but overall I really like this album a lot.
