It was my first sonic youth record a few years back (along with evol). Evol was just so immediately engrossing and BMR so tough to get into that I kind of forgot about it. this summer I forced myself to listen to it a couple times, and on the second listen through, laying in bed after a sonic youth show, when ghost bitch ended, I realized it was their best album. Not my absolute favorite, but their best. I'm actually scared of its subtle genius. Every listen through uncovers a new layer of soundscape and emotional dynamics.
