Objective best is just an artificial loophole to try getting around the truth that you don’t actually think it’s their best ❤️

Heh aight, it's the short way of saying it doesn't have the atmosphere of EVOL but has better pacing than Daydream and probs their most succinct noiz jams full stop

Lol, word. Counterpoint - the best Sonic Youth noise jams generally ain’t the most succinct ones (‘cept Silver fucking Rocket)

Fair content, but Becuz and White Cross are also big shortbois. I think the amazing thing about this record is how it plays out at such a lean runtime while going completely off-piste for half of every other song. Feels fat-free but still packs waywardness for dayz

That was an awesome relisten and the backend is way better than I remembered. Next up: Inspiration is DEAD

It's only a hot take 'cause you commented it in the thread of the best Thurston album

some of you might be deeper into SY than i ever got, is there anything in their discog that approaches jazz fusion or prog rock? even if its just jazzy in the way that black flag was 85/86

Yeah, NYC's handily the worst thing they ever did. If that's what turned you off the subsequent records, its def worth going back cause they got some 21st century gems



And feel you, it's not like the Youth ever sold out, no matter whose label they were playing on
