Rather ripped won't be a let-down.
it's not hard when you picture it as what they currently desire and feel,
the songs i've heard sound very rich (kim says they are juicy),
The singing is outstanding in the greatest sense. Their presence within the songs is extremely neon-like (radiant is a better word...)
Basically if you don't forget the characters and inner glows of Sonic Youth's assemblage of life (steve, kim, lee, thurston of course!) the songs are clear and hard, less sprawl moredrawl.
The guitar work is really curious in an inward sense, if you treat Daydream Nation as a very outward and formative album, like a mirror, this one is more crystalline or kaliedescopic, from the inner Youth.
