I realize he's not in his 20s or even his 30s anymore, but he's been sounding like just another indie rock singer on the past few records, with very little range or excitement in his voice.
Anyone else feel the same way?

I actually noticed that, less so on Rather Ripped, but flagrantly obvious on this last album.. personally, I think that Sonic Nurse was such an explosive and creative record that it drained them.. the sonic nurse and following Daydream Nation tours were some of the most magical moments in Sonic Youth, honestly, how could they come back from that? If they weren't as resilient and honest as the Grateful Dead they would have died.
