Sonic Youth – Rather Ripped

Considering that at least four of the songs on this album sound exactly the same, you’ll feel “rather ripped” off when you buy this album! Ho ho! Somebody sell me to Jay Leno.
But seriously, I’m sure we’re all charmed that Sonic “Youth” have emerged from their veranda/rest home/Florida condo to grace us with this fine bit of geriatric noodling, but they’ll have to try harder than this to make guitars relevant again. Haven’t these coffin-dodgers heard the new Thom Yorke album? Guitars are out, clicking is in. Their pathetic devotion to making albums with things other than a laptop and a deep contempt for music puts them squarely in the dinosaur set.
