They should do what they feel is best for themselves, what will propel them in the direction they want. Even if that is a "lack of depth." They've proven themselves incredibly capable of making good music. If there is a lack of depth (which I do agree with to some extent), it's there for a reason.

Look...I've already said a few times I don't want them to go back to they're old style. I want them to keep pushing forward in SOME interesting way. You could say RR is forward in the sense that, "well, they've never really made an album THIS uninteresting, so it's kinda interesting" blah blah blah. I don't think that way.
re: "SY should do what SY are good at...making rock songs emotional, aggressive, and interesting. sounds like the only SY-era you got into was the "O'Rourke years". i don't buy that you were "into sonic youth when you were 10" either because every fan who got into SY during goo/dirty that i've talked to all love this album much more than any of the O'Rourke years(myself included)."
Buy what you want. Dirty, while it was the album that got me into them, is on the back half of my list of SY albums in order of how much I love them. My favorite albums, in order, would probably be something like this:
Washing Machine
Daydream Nation
Bad Moon Rising
Confusion is Sex
Sister
Evol
A Thousand Leaves.
