Daydream is a solid nine-point-oh.

Anyone else notice that as SY becomes more and more alt, their side projects (and supporting acts) get n0isier and n0isier?

― dj oliver hazard perry (dj oliver hazard perry), Friday, 22 October 2004 18:18 (twenty-one years ago)

TRAINWRECK is HARSH. IT'S NOT A BAD ALBUM and as far as ALBUMS GO, IT FLOWS PRETTY NICELY.

IT'S NOT MY FAVORITE. BUT ITS PRETTY SOLID.

This reissue does what reissues have to do these days, raising the volume to compete with all the over-compressed new stuff on your mp3 player. Someone's clearly taken care with the process, making sure not to spoil the wide dynamics of this music, but this kind of re-master isn't the best fit for the open-room feel of the original: I'd be lying if I said the crystalline brambles of guitar in these songs didn't suffer a little from being flattened out like this. (Steve Shelley's busy, subtle drumming gets a particularly raw deal.) Mild audiophiles-- or anyone attached to the feel of the original CD and LP issues-- might want to spring for the vinyl re-release.

I think mentioning mp3 in the line about compression here was a little bit of a poor choice.... confusing.

TEH CRYSTALLINE BRAMBLES OF GUITAR

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 14 June 2007 17:33 (eighteen years ago)

sir, YOU DO NOT MEAN CRYSTALINE!

ive never listened to the actual album trackson any of the remasters, but i buy that argument...will vinyl delux ddn be better, though?

im amazed this thread doesnt feature me defending nyc ghosts and flowers..

― bb, Thursday, 14 June 2007 17:40 (eighteen years ago)

the only sonic youth record i kept is bad moon rising. i like the sound of that record. i wouldn't mind getting the first ep on record format maybe. i still own the coachmen record, too.

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 14 June 2007 17:46 (eighteen years ago)

this album is ok, I need to listen to it again to figure out if I really like it or not

― Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 14 June 2007 17:46 (eighteen years ago)

― Tim Ellison, Saturday, 16 June 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

They're a weird case because, stylistically, they've just been floundering about for a long time. But who fucking cares? I suspect you just want them to be a little guitar band and everything would be alright, Alfred, and I growl in your general direction.

We are still talking about R.E.M., right?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 16 June 2007 19:46 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah. Haven't you argued that they were best when Bill Berry was still in the band? What did you mean by the comment about those Sonic Youth albums being like what R.E.M. should be doing but can't?

― Tim Ellison, Saturday, 16 June 2007 19:49 (eighteen years ago)

REM have sucked since '93.
Sonic Youth have mostly sucked since '95.

― Tim Ellison, Saturday, 16 June 2007 21:23 (eighteen years ago)

the preceding discussion regarding the relative merits of records like a thousand leaves and the rest was so much more palatable to boring 23 year olds like yourself, i'm sure - lol.

― Tim Ellison, Saturday, 16 June 2007 21:31 (eighteen years ago)

I was arguing that SY's middle-age has thus far proven to be an exceptionally fruitful one, but then you'll argue that Around the Sun is the bee's knees, which will force me to say the hell with it and love you anyway.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 16 June 2007 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

― Tim Ellison, Saturday, 16 June 2007 23:49 (eighteen years ago)

a couple of those songs like "the weirdness" have real soul too. that album was moving but if you don't know music you probably won't get it - i'm sorry.
