Hmpf, I must admit, that
1. yes I heard rather ripped (now for the fifth or sixth time)
2. I tend increasingly to fail to see the point in paying money, if I can get the stuff much earlier and easier on the net - please: no morality - discussion right now!
3. rather ripped really doesn't knock me out of my socks so far. It has quite some good melodies and stuff and there are many good moments - MOMENTS!!. But come on: Sonic Youth used to have more POWER than that.
4. just look at some of the telltale titles: pink steam, neutral, or & in the end Thurston quotes some fan-questions with tired voice. Hey what's up: Bathing in indifference? Sonic Old at last????
5. half of the album seems to be a second extraction of "rain on tin".
