Nooooooooo....yeah I like it. It is what it is......even though I wish they would have been more ambitious with the album. I could tell you my whole life story experience with the album song by song, but nobody cares and neither do I. The first time hearing it was sketchy at best and it took a few listens for it to mold into my brain. Reena rules, of course.

While it's certainly not their best album or one they'll be remembered for,i generally tend to contextualize all the albums by Sonic Youth because they are a band that i allow to have that sort of luxury.Let's face it,i think they gave enough to music for it to be grateful no end.The Velvet Underground's 'Loaded' is helping me appreciate this record much more than i would have had if it was by another band as i hear echoes of it throughout the album(as well as a few late 70s post punk bands and even,why not,Siouxie and the Banshees).

I'll refuse to vote for either on the grounds that it is a young baby.If you don't let it breathe and move and get to know what the world is like,it might grow up really damaged.How about that,eh?

Def. for sure....but this seems more straight forward "rock" especially in comparison to everything they've done for years....not as much "experimentation" going down....since like Dirty I'd say....hoping for more. They've always been a rock band to me and thank God for that. If I'm wrong then please elaborate on the echoes of Loaded that you hear......or don't. Just wondering.

If i wanted to be a little cruel i'd compare it to The Auteurs's 'After murder park' though.I finally got it on cd and,my,Steve Albini works wonders on production sometimes.hehe.

I don't know what's missing but it shows nonetheless.You should give 'After murder park' a go Krastian.I'm a notorious Lennon-hater but Luke Haines does a great impersonation of him on that album.Also,where else could you get lyrics as moving as this?

The Auteurs FEAR OF FLYING
you may be wary of fallen stars
they're always poking around in the dark
the ariel view of a dying man
screaming out can you help me invisible man
you must be wary of ghosts in the dark
they know all your history they know all your past
all of the angels are doing their bit
clearing the house of your animal shit
fear of flying is eating you whole
i have no fear of dying at all
it's absurd that a silver bird
should have a fear of flying at all
you may be wary of who you short change
keeping the short-con well within range
the ariel view of an idiot bird
screaming out can you help me but nobody heard
you may be wary of ghosts of the past
sexless and incorrigible in the dark
they're making an ariel map of abuse
all of the a-roads leading to home

Or as funny as this?

The Auteurs MARRIED TO A LAZY LOVER
sack the maid - put her in chains until
she say's that it's painless and I
couldn't care less
twenty years
married to a lazy lover
twenty years
mixing alcohol and downers
sack the maid
for dealing in state propoganda
sack the state
what would your common lover do
beat the daylights out of you?
it's a national threat
married to a lazy lover
against the west
married to a lazy lover
i could teach him how to drink
but he just threw up in the sink
the man from the ministy
didn't have to say
that your lover's on the shelf
would he bite the bit
or split my lip?
anyway this marraige is annulled

Yeah man I'll check that out....apparantly Jonathan Ritchman influenced them which is always a plus in my book.

It's Goo for the twenty-first century. Sort of. In a not really kind of way.

It's a good LP. I'd put Sleepin Around and Pink Steam (especially the latter) up there amongst the SY classic tracks.

I meant to vote no...but Yes was the second choice.

I assume that's why there is only one no vote.

Pink Steam is really the only track I think is qualified on the album.
