I bought this album the day after seeing Sonic Youth for the first time. My girlfriend and I popped it in after making a trip to Newbury Comics, sat their in silence while it played... and were both really disappointed that it eventually ended. It might be the first album I've ever heard that I could truly describe as "mesmerizing." Just so haunting and eerie and perfect.
She hit "play" again immediately, though. And I knew I had found a keeper (she's since become my fiancee).
