I mean, I think that's amazing, and that's exactly what Thurston himself (who releases something radio-friendly like "Trees" and then puts out 10 noise albums in a row) would want... I think SY are probably one of the only bands that can say that their fans love everything from Madonna to Merzbow and everything in between.

well said. I think Pitchfork said something to that extent on their murray street review. possibly the only valid opinion I have ever read on that site.
for me, for now, the Youth are my favorite band. I doubt it'll be that way in a year or two when my lack of recent Bob Dylan consumption at the hands of Thurston & co. catches up with me.
