i don't understand what's not to like about expjetset, i love it

Jeremy · 10.27.2009, 10:53 AM

The songs aren't good? Kim and Thurston both sound annoying throughout the entire record? Shitty Lee song?

Just what I think....

Boring album. Most boring album SY ever put out. plain ol thin sounding songs, like a toss-off, sounds like ti was written quickly and not as worked over as other sonic youth collections of songs.

It is the only album I do not like (meaning I like less than half the songs on it, so on avrage, I do not like eJST&NS)

Toilet & Bowels · 10.27.2009, 11:24 AM

weird. oh well, it's your loss.

Rob Instigator · 10.27.2009, 11:48 AM

Murray Street has gotten more boring with each passing year too.

I do not see it as a loss at all.

Not as bad as Dirty.

Genteel Death · 10.27.2009, 12:22 PM

Dirty is a GREAT album!!

Derek · 10.27.2009, 12:26 PM

I hate it with all my might. I don't know why but it's just something to it I can't stomach. I don't think I like any of the songs.

Trasher02 · 10.27.2009, 12:27 PM

I don't see what everyone's problem is with EJSANS. I really like it.

Genteel Death · 10.27.2009, 12:28 PM

HERESY Derek! HERESY!

I was wondering what non-sonic youth records they are comparing it too, to say this album is so bad.

Derek · 10.27.2009, 12:33 PM

I think I will relisten to Dirty tonight just to see if my opinion has changed any.

Which is the shitty Lee song? You mean lack of a Lee song?

Skink and Sweetshine are two of my all-time fav songs. As a whole, Experimental Jet Set is quintessential Sonic Youth for me, a weird arty grunge oddity, minimal, mystical and addictive.

notyourfiend · 10.27.2009, 12:57 PM

Sweet Shine owns us all.

jennthebenn · 10.27.2009, 12:59 PM

Starfield Road and Sweet Shine are two of the greatest SY songs ever, and neatly wash out the nasty taste left by Androgynous Mind and Self Obsessed and Sexxee, two of the not-at-all greatest. (I admire the sentiments behind both songs, but the execution? Not really.)

I agree with you, except that I actually really like Self Obsessed and Sexxee. It's not their best work but yeah, I can really identify with the "message" if you will...

gualbert · 10.27.2009, 01:08 PM

Sweet Shine alone makes it a good record.

SONIC GAIL · 10.27.2009, 01:28 PM

Winner's Blues alone makes it a good record (and Starfeild Road)

",,,,and now, I have other dreams."

This is such a great little record, and by "little" I mean understated, mellow.....that's why it is so criminally overlooked.
