From Guitar World magazine, August 2006:

"Some 25 years since their chaotic debut, Sonic Youth continue to find new ways to make unconventional tunings, dissonant musicianship and jarring arrangements irresistible. Rather Ripped, the group's 16th full studio album, combines the icy dreamscapes and haunting exorcisms of 1988's Daydream Nation with the more accessible song structures of 1990's Goo. Whether relying on clean, chiming chords and single plucked notes ("Incinerate"), eerie natural harmonics ("Do You Believe In Rapture?") or rock-out riffs and weird distorted licks ("What A Waste"), Sonic Youth demostrate rock's endless possibilities.

-Jon Wiederhorn"

Let the "Oh Yeah? When Was The Last Time They Were In The Magazine?"'s, "Posers! Everyone's Pretending To Be Indie These Days!"'s, and the "So Why Don't They Feature Bands That Actually Sound Like Them?"'s begin.
