rr is a catchy album. not a serious deep meaning one, but some songs are superb!
lets face it. you just are bunch of cocky wankers that cant appriciate some good quality pop rock songs!

Man, I have no clue what you're talking about. This is what I said:


So?

Rather Ripped Rulez!

Rather Ripped and Dirty are my favorite SY records, followed by A Thousand Leaves and Experimental Jet Set.

.


Wow jet Set....really? Rather Ripped is a nice album. I like Rather Ripped. I don't know if I'd call it a favorite of mine..Everyone has their reason's I guess.

so this is the original Rather Ripped thread, some classic pre release quotes, including this one hehe that was funny reading

haha
come on, it's a good album

i'm not going to make the radiohead/in rainbows comparison again because none understood what i meant in the other thread :P

Do it, please, I'll try to understand this time.

fine..

i compared sonic youths 'rather ripped' to radioheads 'in rainbows' saying that both albums were -to me- a more 'friendly'..(pop if you want) approach to their music... and that in both cases those albums do not represent what *i* love/like/dig about both bands.. which is some degree of experimentation, noises, weird structures, etc...

and that was about it... :o

^ good analysis.

Ripped had a few good tunes,

And I Really enjoyed In Rainbows.

ah, ok. I understand. No problem.
Even if I've never listened to In Rainbows.

Man, I think "In Rainbows" nearly unlistenable.

This thread also gives a very little answers to me why people hates Rather Ripped. Some say it´s not experimental enough, some that it is mediocre. Others just say they don´t like it.

I was reading these posts by Protectmeyou thinking I wrote them cuz I was only looking at the avatar. haha.

That's what I think whenever I come across that guy's posts.

Will SY's first attempt to desperately try to appeal to people who normally wouldn't be willing to spend dollar on their records do? And the resulting mess, of course.

first?

I don´t believe making money has been the goal, when Sonic Youth was making Rather Ripped. If they ever wanted success (I mean lots of money etc) they would have make another Dirty after Dirty. Instead they made experimental that is totally uncommercial album. Why they would have wanted success in the end of their Geffen contract? And after Rather Ripped they released totally uncommercial compilation. I truly believe that there still isn´t any commercial planning in Sonic Youth, they are making what they´re making only because they wanted to do it and like it.

Desperate?

You're wrong.

Could you give me some arguments for your opinion? It´s so easy to say "I don´t like that" or "you´re wrong". I always say arguments for my opinions.
