Moshe, you are the king of bringing us all much needed updates, and a devoted follower, so I'll have to respectfully submit that I have heard it three times and was just shockingly disappointed each time. I've always really enjoyed Sonic Youth albums on the second listen if not the first; maybe there's something unusual with me in that aspect. (Opening myself up to easy insults with that there, but hey ... I'm trying to make a larger point about the band and how they interact with each other and the musical world these days, not just bash some of your guys' new favorite album).
I've definitely had strong favorites shift over time and found new things to love about albums that I thought were less than strong like everyone else, but this is just, like from-another-band, first-time-ever bad to me. Hopefully you'll disagree and enjoy it!
