    Aww I hear ya markymark550. Stupid money! :mad:
    I'd be more than happy to send some tracks your way though if you'd like. ;)
    Lemme know.:D

    Alright so the WHOLE album is becoming my "fav track" it seems. :p
    The more I listen to it the more EVERY song has me like 'OMG thats my
    fav"! haah. Of course little Reena has a top spot no matter what but whoa.... Jams Run Free & The Neutral just really, really smacked me upside the head. :o I'm so in love with these 2! The way the guitar and Kim's voice perfecfly dance together is just brilliant. *closes eyes and gets lost in it*

    And Nadi, I'm also diggin Do You Believe In Rapture? I love the sweet plucking goodness. The way it all just randomly picks up too?! Aww!!

    See! The whole damn thing is amazing!

    It's true what they're saying, this thing is Rather Ripped. *flexes*
    :cool:

    I got a few albums this week and this was one of them.

    Great album. Incinerate is probably my favorite song on the album. I like it better than Sonic Nurse. I like how they went back to a 4 piece band.

    Every other album I got was great too...Arctic Monkeys, The Raconteurs, Wolfmother, Neil Young, and Live At Easy Street.

    I appreciate the offer VEDHEAD27, but I'll just wait until I get the album. It shouldn't be too long with a payday coming soon.....

    yeah same here Joey! I LOVE it!! It is kind of 'back to basic w/Sonic Youth' type of deal! This band just kicks SO much ASS! I can't wait to see them again and with these new songs?! WHOA!! :eek:

    I LOVE the album the first time i put it on, I knew I would NOT be disapointed in SY! They never let me down:)

    Lydi, I am glad that you are enjoying Do You Believe In Rapture? kick ASS song, HELL, every single song on that album kicks ASS!! :D

    Reena is a great album opener. It sets a good pace for the rest of the songs.

    TOTALLY!!!! I loooooove this song. Puts me in a complete trance. :o And just when you're certain it's an instrumental.... it's like WHOA, Thurston's voice? What are you doing here? :eek: haha. He's so gentle with it though, just oozes in perfectly. Still, it definitely runs me over...in such an great way of course. :o "like flowers and cream" Wheeew! Just beautiful!

    I'll never get over the perfect way Sonic Youth does this....the vocals and guitar perfectly meshed up against each other, dancing together, feeding off each other, complimenting every single note, every single pitch, every single sound! It just adds such depth and exaggerates the greatness of each in such an amazing way. It's just fuckin brilliant!!!

    Incierate has been my favorite songs since I first bought the album, it just catches your attention. thurston's voice is very angelic during this song and the guitar riffs b/t him and lee are amazing!! :)

    Here is the Late Show performance of this song, I, for one, can't wait to see it performed live!! :D

    i listened to the first 6 songs last night and it didn't really impress me a whole lot
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    that's a first..I think the first 6 tracks are pretty good ones compared to the later tracks.

    I agree. I think I enjoy the first half of the album better then the last. Reena does kick ass, yay for sonic youth. Can't wait to see it live!!
