You're just listening to this because you want to listen to the real best Sonic Youth song, The Diamond Sea.

| 3.6 great | Erwann S. EMERITUS | September 21st 20 |
Much less difficult to approach than predecessor Experimental..., although it echoed the band's early SST records' production process. Kim's guitar playing is the record's greatest input in the holy Sonic Youth discography. This is the first record on which Kim almost exclusively plays guitar. Three guitars and one guy that bangs the drums, and that's it. It results in an album that, while more digestible than early 80s records, still sounds extremely cryptic and abstract, with a good dose of apathy. Apathy is, imo, the album's greatest feat, slowly creeping its unmelodic melodies to your head.

My initial reaction to the album was that it would end up being my favorite. I was wrong. I find myself only revisiting Junkie's Promise and No Queen Blues, with occasional listens of Becuz, Unwind, Panty Lies, and The Diamond Sea. Those tracks alone are pretty powerful.

Definitely not the best sonic youth album, but still very solid overall. A lot of great moments on this.

I don't get it. I really, really don't get it. Sure, some of the songs are cool, and I can really enjoy some of the tracks on this album...but what the hell? I feel it just seems to be repeating itself over and over again. Not to mention, the noise at the end of "The Diamond Sea" goes on longer than it legally should have been allowed. I hear that Sonic Youth is pretty influential and original, but with this album I don't see it at all.
