I am, bit by bit - don't wanna download as they're still out there to profit, and can't afford to just pick it ALL up, so I gets what I gets, so far all good - esp dig the SYR stuff

the SYR stuff is pretty great (some of it), admittedly I don't listen to them too often but they're nice. haven't heard the new one with Merzbow yet, however.

Yeah what a bunch of sell outs.

How is it?

The new Sonic Youth is damn good...have been listening to it for the past hour or so.

Ahhh good old Sonic Youth, growing old at least semi gracefully.

The new one is more of the same like Rather Ripped, lovely melodies with an edge. Anti-Orgasm is my favourite right now, brilliant guitars on it. Not like the old stuff of course but still a damn solid album.

i've given it one listen, i'm on the fence at the moment, i think i like it more than Rather Ripped but it'll need more listens. Antenna is my fav song at this point.

Would someone be so kind to send me a pm?

Ive not heard the newest one yet. I have 'Rather Ripped' though, I thought it strangely pretty straight forward compared to their previous stuff. Was alright though, Ive not bothered to really listen to it more than a couple of times though.
I agree that Sonic Youth are a pretty good band but to be honest I only really love one of thier albums. 'Goo' was the first album i got and it is my favourite; I am surprised myself at this but I just feel everything else Ive heard pales in comparison. I didnt really dig 'Daydream Nation' that much but I loved the Trilogy at the end. Other albums I have include: 'Bad Moon Rising'- 'Death Valley 69' with Lydia Lunch is one of my favourite Sonic Youth tracks- also the video is quality!, 'Dirty'- which is pretty good, 'Washing Machine' - I had heard good things about this album for ages including the 2 months it took me to buy it(2 sellers in a row from playtrade failed to send me the cd) & was disappointed that in the end I didnt really dig it that much anyway...
'Murray Street'- which was pretty good also, 'Sister' ,'Experimental Jet Set...', 'EVOL'- I have been given copies of but havent gotten round to listening to yet.

So Im kind of on the fence with Sonic Youth, maybe in time I will come to appreciate them more, which has happened with a lot of artists in the past.
