Also, some of you guys throw around "classic" and "masterpiece" a little too casually.

Some of the songs are ok, Winner's Blues, Bull In the Heather, Androgynous Mind, Screaming Skull, In the Mind of the Bougeois Reader, Sweet Shine. But they are all just ok. It's not a great record. It's one you really have to listen to a lot to understand and accept. Over all it's just an allright record.

I love this one. Winner's Blues, Bull in the Heather, Starfield Road, Sweet Shine, Androgynous Mind, Screamingskull, and most of all Doctors Orders. It's filled with plenty of excellent songs. I heard there's a Thurston version of Doctor's orders, I'd like to hear it. Anybody know where if I can find it?

http://www.saucerlike.com/files/real...orders_tvox.ra EJSTNS is great. I don't understand why no-one gets it, either. 'Bone' is classic Sonic Youth, where noise and harmony go hand in hand. You can also kinda hear Kim's love for Willie Nelson in that song. I don't hear any filler in here, as every song is unique and different in it's own way. Even the Thurston tracks. Lee makes up for his vocal absence with his guitar absence- how rad is the delay/phasewhatever on 'Androgynous Mind'? A bird is singing to me through the window. Aw. |

Underrated and while it's not their best it beats hell out of Goo. I love Starfield Road, and even better live. Bone never gets love here but I love the drums and the guitar sound and the vocals. I even like Bull among their "popular" songs. I think Self Obsessed is the only true clunker here. Overall a nice warm disc and I hear the start of what became the great Washing Machine. Oh and Master Dik doesn't count as a Sister track so stop criticizing that album for a Geffen throw-in. Those industry fucks.

I LOVE Thurston's version of Doctor's Orders even more than Kim's! It's from the Bull in the Heather single by the way.

I just listened to it like an hour, and it;s not that bad. MOre varied than dirty, not as good as goo. It still sounds like they were bored from time to time on the record tho. But I can't argue with doctor's orders and bone... seems like I like kim's songs best on this one and most of thurstons are meh.

expirimental jet set is great. i think it was the third sonic youth cd i bought. it's more rock than anything. i instantly loved "winner's blues" when i read the title on the back of the cd. and loved it even more, when i bought it |

While I haven't heard Experimental... for years now, I remember playing the hell out of it in a record store I was working at during that time and always enjoying it. I also loved the response of unsuspecting customers who had no idea who Sonic Youth were. Noise indeed...

I love 'Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star'. It's purely Sonic Youth......back to the roots, yet embellishing the sound with more emphasis, and better structures.
Sonic Youth has never been main stream.........but 'Dirty' was as close to mainstream they've ever come. It seemed to me, with the release of 'Jet Set', they were going back to the strange dark closet of the earlier years..........but they replaced the burnt out lightbulb. They brought their jumbled sounds of the past to a new level. I saw 'Jet Set' as a sort of victory for Sonic Youth. Instead of moving forward in the direction that 'Dirty' took, they moved forward in the direction of their more chaotic past sounds, yet keeping a nice leash on the pup.........Better control!!! My favorites are 'Starfield Road', 'Screaming Skull', and 'In the Mind of the Bourgoise (sp?) Reader'.......... I love the CD insert, too..........I keep changing the picture to be displayed on the outside. Multiple cover art totally fucking rocks!!!!

Overall, I think 'EJST&NS' is a decent enough LP, it just lacks the high number of truly classic tracks that you see on most of SY's other releases.
'Bull in the Heather' and 'In the Mind of the Bourgeois Reader' stand out for me.
