1. guitar "feel" on this album is phenomenal for greater part of the album.
2. tracks 1 - 4 (teenage riot, silver rocket, the sprawl, cross the breeze) are almost perfect (except for the horrendous vocals (track 3 and 4)). tracks 5 - 11 fail to impress (weak songs, weaker vocal performances). some interesting guitar work is the only saving grace. the 3 piece medley ending the album ups the standard again.)
3.my verdict: love the guitar sound on the album, that's about it really.
i like it, but i don't love it, not close.
your views?

- this album is easily top 5 all time IMO, definitely my favorite Sonic Youth album.....amazing from top to bottom
- it doesnt get much/any better than Teenage Riot
- Steve's drumming on Silver Rocket is mindblowing
- I think Kim's vocals on tracks 3 & 4 are great.....not saying she is a good vocalist (technically) but I love how she sings
- Eric's Trip is an incredible tune.....and it inspired the name of another one of my favorite bands (Eric's Trip were a criminally underappreciated band from Canada's east coast......their album Love Tara should be required listening for any music fan)
- any fan of this album NEEDS to pick up the recently released Deluxe edition (double disc - second disc features every song performed live + a few covers.....one of which is the Beatles "Within You Without You" - it is AMAZING)
- It's a natural fact that i'm not no cow - genius (?)
and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!
