It read to me like an intern at Rolling Stone was handed a cdr of the new record and clippings of everything else that they had published about the band and told to be consistent to what they previously had said. So since this intern quickly saw that RS has in general praised Sonic Youth at least ever since Daydream Nation and the disc he was listening to seemed to reflect the various styles embodied in those old reviews, almost as if this group was somewhat diverse all along, he opted to positively say that this new record drew on all they had done in the past. Even the obscure low selling album that they gave four stars a few years ago for some reason. He probably even heard that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were influenced by this group, so he better be nice and act like he knew what he was talking about. Good thing the press kit noted that they were all singing together for a change. That'd make him look smart!
