Never open your album with a slow boring song. They should have ...
i agree with morrisp (it's a perfect opening tune for this album)

Is this the album where he got pissed and almost quit for that reason(?)
no that was Dirty, over "Genetic" being left off the album proper

this has always been my least favourite SY album

I think this is the sy album I've been playing the most often in the last couple of years.

The second SY album I bought upon release (the first was Dirty). In the interim I’d been coping whatever earlier reissues DGC was producing, on tape, because this was when you could still do that

This was the second sonic youth album I bought (after Dirty, though both were bought in 1996 or 1997). I didn't seek it out, I think I just happened to find it used relatively cheap. I remember being a bit disappointed by it compared to Dirty, though I still listened to it a lot since I only had probably between 30 and 40 cds back then. Sonic Youth didn't become a favorite band until I heard "A Thousand Leaves", after which I went back and bought all previous albums.
Slowly over time though, this album has gone up in my estimation, it would probably be a top 5 SY album for me now.
