i think NME was going down the list of make-our-rag-more-credible-and-intelligent bands and SY came up. so Hamish, or whoever was assigned to write this under his name, did a crash course on pre-Geffen SY. DDN would be too obvious of an album, considering its press over the past year. almost everyone, upon listening to their first few records for the first time would think it's directionless noise. but 'Hamish' makes it obvious he just simply glazed over the records, thought Schiz was a nice ditty and decided to run with this record. didn't bother to note the progressions the band made from record to record; instead he just lumps all pre-Sister albums into one category of garbage, and essentially insults readers who liked the band before Sister. Nevermind that SY was part of an important artistic movement in the early 80s with a strong following or that SY were touring Europe since 1983. this was just a sloppy, one dimentional, Cliff note researched piece.......
