My brothers girlfriend bought me this on vinyl for Xmas, listening to it this weekend has been a reminder as to why it's one of my favorite Sonic Youth albums.

Sounds like you and your brother are lucky guys! The vibe on this is incredible

Yeah, she rules. I absolutely agree, such a cool record. Right up there with Sister for me.
|
| |
I'm getting closer to bumping either this or Sister or both.

IT'S JUST A DREAM

Either this or Sister is going to be bumped to a 5 someday soon

Sister is a five for me, this is close behind. Easily my two favorites from them
|
| |
If it weren't for the second half of Tuff Gnarl and Hot Wire My Heart, Sister would probably be my GOAT. Some goes for this with Green Light and Death to Our Friends (which have grown on my quite a bit anyway).

I can't get into this in some sections but for whatever reason I keep coming back to it
|
| |
Which bits do you dig/not like?
|
| |
Funny how I don't like this quite as much as their next few records, but the more experimental, fucked up tracks here are the ones I'm really into

I totally hate "Death of our Friends", "Green Light" starts well and just stays at a good start and nothing else, same with "Marilyn Moore" among other sections in otherwise good songs. "In the Kingdom 19" is a total rip-off of TVU and badly at that. The only songs I really like are "Star Power", "Shadow of Doubt" and to a minor extent "Tom Violence".
|

Those first two are understandable and took me a very long time to get into, but Marilyn Moore is v. underrated imo - that creepy vibe is mersmerising and goes so well with Secret Girls. In the Kingdom does borrow from TVU for the narrative (we're thinking The Gift and Lady Godiva, right?), but I think SY give it a dynamic sense of intensity that most of TVU's work desperately lacked. Those last three and Expressway are my faves though haha, so you're doing something right!

Well, they're actual songs and the most accesible, also they're at the beginning of the album which helps a lot. Sure they knew how to arrange the tracklist, after "Star Power" it goes totally nuts.

just noise

This needs all the love, one of the best albums of the 80s
|

I would love to see a Lee Ranaldo film for sure, dude's a legend. Then again, Marilyn Moore and Secret Girls both have great cinematic vibes to them.
Lee miiiiight just be my favourite member; the sheer volume of awesome Thurston songs leaves him at a disadvantage but In The Kingdom #19, Mote, Rain King (three of the coolest songs ever), Paper Cut Exit and Karen Koltrane present a pretty strong case.
