Sonic Youth's last official recording, and it's a SYR one? You know what to expect: even though their 90s and 2000s album tended more towards alt rock than noisy, experimental stuff, the SYR series provided the band a special place to deliver their least user-friendly records. This is no exception: post-rock progressions meet noisy sounds and more rocking cuts. Of course, it's not their best material. But it's their last one, synthesizing 30 years of career in a swift hour of instrumental music.
