Sonic Youth: Rather Ripped



Unexpected I'm sure but theres a reason. Rather Ripped is Sonic Youths last record on Geffen which finalized there contractual obligations to the label. Sure from the write ups it seems "cranked out" for the sake of getting it done and moving on. But for those of you who maybe havent taken the time to get into this band its the perfect record to start with. Mostly because it lacks alot of the avant sorta noisey stuff they have staked there claim doing over the years. Now dont get me wrong I happen to be a huge fan of noisey dissonant feedback driven stuff, but alot of people seek melody over environment (which isnt a bad thing). So if thats the case start here.

Also for the classic SY fans apparently alot of the gear that was stolen back in the day was recovered and used on this record.

If you havent heard, get on it, if you have, get on it again.
