Sister gets full page 'Classic Albums' article in this week's NME. - Page 2

jennthebenn · 02.26.2007, 11:05 PM

did they misspell "ranaldo"? i have a magazine article from 1982 that spells
it "renaldo", and i swear 25+ years on, you will find multiple articles PER YEAR that fuck it up...even from sources that should know better.

Everyneurotic · 02.26.2007, 11:21 PM

"renaldo" is a more common surname/last name than "ranaldo" in spanish speaking countries, it's bound to appear in even the most complete spell checkers.

it's still a careless mistake, though

Someone scan or link it if you can.

I just read it in a shop today. the guy who wrote it is abviously a complete poser who wants to look like he knows more about music than he does. he makes far too many mistakes to seem like he actually likes or is familiar with the album.

(bl)eh.

jon boy · 02.27.2007, 02:25 PM

i read some of it today and it gets loads of things wrong.

Rob Instigator · 02.27.2007, 02:37 PM

why the complaints? I think he is dead on in every way. I see nothing he gets wrong at all. Please provide something more substantive than a misspelling of ranaldo.

GREAT one pager.

Long Live sonic youth. If more people listened to thjem we may never have to hear My Chemical Romance again

or that brit fop junkie that is supposedly married to kate moss.

jennthebenn · 02.27.2007, 02:41 PM

actually, it would appear he didn't misspell
ranaldo.

jennthebenn · 02.27.2007, 02:43 PM

thurston didn't sing "pipeline", though. mild
boo-boo.

Rob Instigator · 02.27.2007, 02:59 PM

true, until I was 18 I did not know lee ever sang. I thought it was just thurston singing in a different tone.

Shit article. Burn, Hamish MacBain.

well I dont like to be pedantic about things but the writer did say that sonic youth had never ventured towards a conventional songwriteing method before sister. now we all know they are far from conventional on sound but Evol which was out a full year before sister was filled with songs that had a pop styling to them. in fact he never even mentioned the exceptional success of the death valley '69 single which was the grand statement of bad moon rising but which he wrote off as essentially a bad album.

maybe I just don't like a magazine like nme talking unintelligently about a band I love so much.

demonrail666 · 02.27.2007, 09:59 PM

Ok, so it seems as though Hamish MacBain doesn't like CIS or BMR much and that some of the reasons he has for that don't necessarily hold up. He also gets it wrong about Pipeline. However, a lot of what he says isn't that far off at all. In fact, if the NME could write more articles of a similar quality to this one, I might consider buying it again.

if you really listen to EVOL and BMR and CIS there are NO standard song structures. songs build with no verses, songs have no choruses, songs meander and stop, songs fade away like feedback squalor

SISTER is the one where they grafted their pop sensibilities full on onto their music.

but why the rip on an article that is just a puff piece anyway?

Or could it simply be that you don't like the idea of 'a magazine like NME' writing about them at all?
