can't see these two statements co-existing, but i'll wait till i hear it. been excited about this album for a while, and the good word has me psyched.
i really have to hear that "church boy" song BTW. i too had always wondered why "rain on tin" and "new hampshire" sounded so similar in spots.

I really like how "Or" ends with a series of lines that sound like interview questions being directed at the band, concluding with "what comes first, the music or the words?"

"aimed at Adult Album Alternative radio"
Come on Matthew, do you really think they're "aiming" at this? I think they're just doing what they want.

In your mouth, a wad of cashMoist roll of hundredsFingers through your hairSilver quarters dropTo your pleated skirtCannisters of whipped creamIn your sweater pocketsA look of space and total lifeReady....or......not
The plan is to go to DC and hang outGo see girls rock How long is the tour?What time you guys playin'?Where you going next?What comes first?The music...or...the words?

When someone from Sonic Youth goes onstage looking like that, I'll leave.

There are about 20 of them on the last couple SY albums.

"Reena" is terrific. This all sounds very late 80s/early 90s SY, a good thing. It's not surprising or risky or difficult or groundbreaking at all, but I like it so much that I don't care. It also sounds like late-70s rock & pop FM radio.

is that the d00d from Psychotica?!!
had the weekend w/ this album- definitely laid back! not in a bad way. the most agreeable kim songs in a LONG while. i really wish they'd just let Thurston sing everything. his voice's just too perfect. otherwise this album's really seeming like a continuation from the last 2. not bad, not earthshattering. i'd like to see em play it live.

Now that I've had 5 or so days to chew on this album pretty well, I've convinced myself they haven't made one this wholly appealing (to my senses, anyway) since Goo. Murray Street came the closest I guess.
I'm almost embarassed to admit I've never seen them live, but I think this year will be the year. I absolutely must see these songs performed.

One can interpret this in a number of ways.

some changes that sonic youth should do but never will of course:-change the drummer! those drumming schticks are cliche's and boring.steve shelly is not a good drummer, face it.-get a new producer, but not an obvious one, that will break them new grounds, (like phil spector with the ramones or something)-play guitar as they used to in the 80's - is this really thurston moore and lee renaldo - 2 of the greatest guitarist ever playing here?or maybe they just got older...
but i guess im in the minority - lots of people will buy the record, and everyone will be happy, and earn more money.sorry to ruin the party.
