Rather Ripped

Thoughts on this album? I bought this album in 2006 when I heard it playing in a record store and asked someone working there what it was.
Ever buy an album after hearing a small part of it playing in a record store? On a whim?
Also, oddly enough, this was my introduction to Sonic Youth and is still my favorite of their albums.

the Sonic Youth album for people who don't like Sonic Youth

>Ever buy an album after hearing a small part of it playing in a record store? On a whim?

Prior to... whatever people use to preview music these days, this was done all the time. Sometimes I'd buy something I'd only read about. Sometimes I'd buy something because of the record label and cover art. Granted mostly I bought used cassettes and CDS then so it wasn't a huge risk but I can't say I ever regretted any of these little gambles.

I heard some of Coltrane's Live in Japan as a young teen on some quasi local college radio 3 am insomnia session. had a cassette that I rec'd misc bits with. recorded like a 35 minute song that slowly evolved into my favorite things. this is before id even heard of like Love Supreme... So I didn't know what it was . . . and it haunted my for a decade before I found the album . . .and I wouldn't exchange the experience for anything else.

and this: youtube.com/watch?v=KAcgwXkIOHM

this fucking lyric chased me for years... sound system plays a renegade tune . . .dunno why

the fuck does any of that have to do with sonic youth

the virgin noise rock vs the chad no wave

Pfff. Not even their best no wave record. I'll take their self-titled or their first live performance at the noise fest concert.

*Blocks your path*
The ultra No Wave Sonic Youth.

but everyone knows the best no wave record in general is pic related

I would say the BEST No Wave album of all time would have to be No New York. It's pretty well the definitive record.

yeah but she just sounded like she was getting rawdogged by a black man on stage, arto lindsay's vocals were sonically blistering and abrasive, probably the most threatening ever and she just went "aaa UUU OOOAAA WAAAA" like a retard

Never felt that way about it myself.

VIET NAM NAPALM

First post got it right but it's still a good album. And yeah, I did that once with Alcest's third album.

i guess his mind just associated it with a sound he's familiar with

Their best is so clearly Hold That Tiger, the studio stuff doesn't get anywhere near that energy.

I did that once - it's how I first heard Felix Da Housecat
Based and Madonnapilled

This was the first SY album i heard when i was like 13. Its not their best but has some good tunes and a special place in my heart.
