I like how Antenna is poppy when he's singing, but when he isn't, the guitars almost remind me of Confusion is Sex/Sister. Will probably me much better in the studio though obviously.

What We Know rocks big time!! even though I'm pretty sure I've heard such a melody in refrain somewhere else like in this song, but it rocks!

Both are awesome. I love how Lee (I'm just guessing) plays that delay at the beginning of Antennae. It reminds me a bit of the end of Cross the Breeze

yeah, it is him playing it. to me it reminded me one song from WM, probably it was washing machine song itself. he did exactly same thing.
you can get both shows at www.dimeadozen.org, if you don't have a account on there, I'd say sooner or later it will on www.utkonos.org. I should be upping up mp3 version of Krems gig her on the board tomorrow or day after. tommorow |

This sounds really promising. The Eternal looks like a fun album, can't wait to hear it

Antenae sounds very promising on the basis of its length, structure and mood - something of a throwback to the 'autumnal'-songs-with-content-vocals from the A Thousand Leaves, NYC:GAF, Murray Street period (by the way, do those albums have a collective name? I'm sure it's been said that three of them were part of a loose trilogy though I'm not sure if those were the three, substitute one of them for Washing Machine / Sonic Nurse maybe? Anyway its my favourite period of their music); also it has a nice chorus, catchy in a good way.

"Antenna" is awesome. I already can bet that it will be my favourite from the new record.
"What We Know"... I don't know what THEY know, but it could easily be the worst Lee song ever recorded. it sounds amazingly weak to me. |

this sounds really good to me - classical rock somehow - but i really like both songs, "antenna" and "what we know". I was so disappointed, when i heard sacred trickster and the samples, but now i cant wait to get this :-)

Antenna sounds very good, for what I've heard.
Hope this album will be better than RR.

Antenna sound pretty good, a little bit popy but in a good way, not in a Rather Ripped way. I don't know what to say about What We Know... i'll wait for the studio version...

Mos def. There was a definite ATL, Murray Street vibe going on in Antenae, not so much NYC G+F though. The beginning reminded me a bit of the ending to Karen Revisited. The song has a really nice shape about it. It's a good marriage of the pop and I guess non-pop capabilities that Sonic Youth have always been pretty good at. I liked that song alot. As for What We Know. I wasn't sure what to think at first like some others here. But I'm liking it more upon subsequent listens. I have a feeling the studio run of this song will be more impressive than this. But I'm more into it now than I was before. If these songs are any indicator along with the release of Sacred Trickster, the Eternal has the potential to elevate Sonic Youth out of the rut they've been in from Sonic Nurse and Rather Ripped. Not to diss on those albums, but like others have said, Murray Street was the last really great one. |
