i've pre-ordered mine. i'll pick it up at some point on the 13th. i've heard thurston's rendition of "incinerate" and "do you believe in rapture?" on that bbc show, and "reena" on myspace. i'm excited.

I bought it on 5, when it was out in France. I love it.

ill buy it but not this month i think

it's very good but not as good as nurse or murray street. The only song that i get a bit bored by is lights out

I will definately buy it

i will definately buy it, on CD and vinyl. i havent heard any of it yet though so im still excited!

I've already got it, looks nice on the shelf, sounds nice in the player. Result.

i can't decide whether to buy it or not. maybe i'll wait till it's half price.

good luck fighting your way to the front of the queue kegmama, i'm sure there are at least 3 other nerds in your city who will try and get there before you!

Thats fine if you don't want to buy it, but what is the FUCKIN' point on insisting to tell everyone on a SY fanforum (A) how much you dislike the album and (B) not going to spend the money to get it.

I think its slightly better than average but i don't see the reasoning on whining about how shitty you think it is... damn it you people need to get a life and be more grown up.

I do see the point on pointing this out to some of you little shits that act like 2 year olds and don't "get what you want" all the time.

society overall despises spoiled brats... so quit it.

i just pre-ordered it today on amazon along with some textbooks i need for next semester. of course it's all getting shipped at the same time so i might not get it until the end of the week.

probably.

I was waiting for that to be said. Tonnes of the songs on the album are fucking great. Jams Run Free is such a good song, and it easily lives up to any other Sonic Youth songs. I'll be honest and say that Or really doesn't spark my interest, but most of the songs on the album really grow on you; just like Nurse. That's the wayh Sonic Youth works for me. When I first bought Dirty, I didn't even know what they sounded like. I bought it because these cool animators really liked them an displayed "SONIC YOUTH" in middle of their cartoon for no apparent reason. I hated Kims voice. Now Kim's one of my favorite vocalists. Her style is very unique in comparison to many other female vocalists, and on Rather Ripped her singing style changes from the other albums. She's not doing the Mariah Carey & Arthur Doyle... or Orange Rolls, Angels Spit style, but instead singing them and expressing her natural voice more, so it's nice to see a change.

I am going to buy the album. I sure hope it's better than Sonic Nurse, which I found somewhat dissapointing. I've only heard Reena and What A Waste, they we're good, but not great. But yeah, I can't wait.

i'm gonna get it. i haven't heard much of it, but what i have heard, i like...plus i'm a completist.

i'm buying it. maybe cd and vinyl

me to, but i only listened to it one time to tease myself

I'd rather have that peice of paper that talks about AIDS wolf than that record.

I think Sonic Yoof needs an icepack for that burn.

Weird. I hear this record and I don't really see what's not to like about it if you enjoy Sonic Youth at all. Well, maybe I can see what's not to like, but I don't see what's to hate.

Can't say that I've given the matter any thought. There are far too many items of semi-esoteric skrong (skronk, but with guitars) that I'd rather buy first.
