I got my dad to get me this on CD when it came out. I picked up the vinyl circa ten years later or so. I'd say it's not one of my favourite Sonic Youth records but by no means one of my least favourites at all. It has a cool atmosphere but no real stand out tracks aside from Free City Rhymes. It stands as a curious historical segue-way between A Thousand Leaves and Murray Street in my estimation. I suppose I also have fond memories of this album as I saw Sonic Youth live for the first time on this tour as an ultra enthusiastic 16 year old fan. But my favourite moments from that concert were Sunday, Brother James, Teenage Riot etc.
Goddamn, memories...
