You hate EJST&NS? Really?
I don't really see how one could. Even if you don't really love the style, how can you not appreciate it for its extreme deviation in sound from all the band's other material? As a token weird ass album, at the very least?
I don't know why so many fans dislike it so much. If the songs were by another band, I'd probably like it more than I do now, and I already love the album.
Oddly, the exact opposite would probably be true of some of my more beloved Sonic Youth albums. If any band but SY had even attempted DDN or A Thousand Leaves, It just wouldn't fly. Well... Unwound. They probably could have made a decent go at DDN. Rem maybe for ATL. But EJST&NS is just good fucking noise pop, and I'd love it coming from any band.... Beck, or Blonde Redhead... Maybe Deerhunter. Lou Reed.
What does all this mean? Less than nothing. Barely worth reading, this post. Or writing for that matter. Man, I need to start enjoying life a little more.
