THAT is why I ended up putting it in my top-5, because in a way, it sounds like ALL Sonic Youth records merged into one, and for that alone I was impressed..

I agree fully! After few first listening of Eternal I thought it was their Sgt.Pepper. I´m not thinking that way anymore, but anyway I think it´s as great as DDN, Goo, Dirty, Murray, Nurse & RR.
