3.0 goodGrungil | February 4th 22

"Sunday" cant save this from being an average SY album.

3.2 goodErwann S. EMERITUS | September 29th 20

Remember the Sonic Youth Recordings 1 to 3? They were recorded simultaneously A Thousand Leaves. It's thus as improvisational, although much more psychedelic than any of the three EPs. It's also calmer in a way, Moore and Ranaldo playing quiet guitar interplays instead of frenzy assaults. Some aspects of this one are thus much less obnoxious, even though a good SY record always contains a certain number of unpleasant passages, like some of Kim's vocal parts. An interesting SY iteration, although imo the first two SYR projects realize this aesthetic better, in a shorter amount of time.

4.5 superbElviGemini | July 12th 18

a very odd sonic youth record. sunday is the only conventional song here, every other song is either ethereal or a cacophonous mess in the best possible way. some people don't dig it, and they shouldn't!

3.5 greatTheManMachine | March 28th 14

It feels somewhat comfortable for them, they're more than willing to take their time, subtlety outweighs ACTION, some moments take off while others plod. But even when in what perhaps may be their most relaxed state, they still manage to pull together a fully-formed and unique behemoth of an album - not bad for 10 LPs deep.
