im a sonic noob compared to alot of you folks

PunkerViolence · 06.16.2006, 06:35 AM

I was thinking the other day: confusion is sex is the most oiriginal sonic youth album and has suddenly become my favorite record. Over washing machine, sister and bad moon rising. I love the 'uhhuh uhhuh' bit at the start of Inhuman, and the plinky noise guitars in the world looks red. Shaking hell is kinda haunting with its ghostly melody, and strange arty lyrics "turn around, shake off yr flesh" i love the way the major tone merges into the minor - when kim is singing. "SHAKE off yr FLESH". Making the nature scene has some interesting lyrics and funny noisey guitars in the background. But my real favorite is either Shes in a bad mood, or CONFUSIO I~S NEXT. I adore this song. Especially when thurston sings the verse at the end when its all speedy and overflowed. Overall it has a really creepy disfunctional vibe which is not found in any other sonic record. And thats one reason why i love it so much.

agree about the fear at the start of dog... to me the guitar work on inhuman is just spot on, sounds like locusts swarming with metal wings...this record is what brought me to the band and keeps me with em.. would like to see another scary record like this one or evol

I remember first buying CIS online with two other cds (can't remember them now) and I almost couldn't get it just because it was called Confusion is sex.

on a side note: this also happened with In utero, I almost couldn't get it because of the cover. Back in 6th grade I think.

greenlight · 06.16.2006, 11:15 AM

cis is unique, dark, raw, (she's in a) bad mood, such a epic to me.
even better live in a small club (what i saw in video). and it was at the time when i was learning how to walk, hehe.

Inhuman is such a great song. I used to cover Inhuman with my sister. She played the slide bass and I just put my guitar out of tune and played random shit and shouted the lyrics. It was great.

Confusion is Next is funny.

That's what I'm saying. It's fucking haunting.....I love it. PROTECT ME YOU!!!

TheDom · 06.16.2006, 03:21 PM

Protect Me You is fucking scary as hell. I love it.

I burnt it for a friend, and after listening to it he never wanted to listen Sonic Youth ever again.

kingcoffee · 06.16.2006, 11:22 PM

I can't get over Kim's style. Her femininity seems so underplayed. Like she really went to long lengths to make herself look unattractive. Not that she should to whore it up. I'm not saying that. I'm just remarking on the stylistic change that happend a few years later when she really started playing up her female sexuality (wearing skirts, loses the glasses, different haircuts, etc.).

krastian · 06.16.2006, 11:53 PM

^People change man....so do styles.

Sonic Youth 37 · 06.16.2006, 11:56 PM

"Confusion is Next and after that is the truth" And the truth is....CIS is one of the best, darkest, musical statements ever to be put to magnetic tape. I can't even begin to expound on what I thought and felt after listening to it for the 1st time. The experience is beyond words. Second only to Daydream Nation in terms of sheer impact and aural assualt.

Laila · 06.16.2006, 11:59 PM

it scares me

h8kurdt · 06.17.2006, 01:11 AM

One of the scariest albums ever made.

They so should play this album for ATP don't look back fest. As said before it's weird to see Kim in pictures from that era then look at pictures a few years after and hell pictures from before CIS.

CHOUT · 06.17.2006, 01:16 AM

I like Sclavunos' drumming. There's a drum fill going back into the verse from the middle eight of Inhuman that's one of my favorite drumming moments.
