Hmm, so you came out to the board and now you're obsessed with OJ Simpson...cute.

i fucked rather ripped with my ears while playing 3 other sy albums at the same time. can you guess which three:
i'm too tired to understand if i can poll mid thread. so just fucking guess.

Rather Ripped is the greatest album by any band ever.

Where's my homies at?

NO.

yes?

i said
NO:D

troll.

as are you!

yeb
 

rather ripped is an amazing album.sonic youth are really excellent musicians there are so many melodies and guitarr licks on this record.somehow i think they should make more less experimental stuff.they are incredible songwriters.

the whole record is a masterpeace.i think you need to be a memeber of sonic youth and playing your hole life guitarr to write such songs.and steve hit the drums in such a cool subtile way.

the cover is perfect to. what i don´t understand is that many other sonic youth fan´s not really like this album.i mean they make some of the best music ever and a very single group understand the big potential and quality of this record.

i have no favourite sonic youth record because every realese they made was youst excellent and groundbreaking but rather ripped is the record i heard the most until now.

I LIKE!!! A Lot!

i like rether rippeth so manny muck

my eanglish is excalend

yeah! rather fuckin' ripped!

It's amazing! songs like Incinerate and Pink Steam are awesome,

some bad songs are sleeping around, and do you believe in rapture, but the album as a whole is really great

Sadly it is not an awesome album, though it has its moments it is a definite step back from the innovation of NYC G+F - Sonic Nurse period. Jim O'Rourke is definitely missed. I'm optimistic for the Matador release. More Lee songs ?

I've probably tried harder to find something in this than any other album I can think of. i still don't see it. Even when a track starts OK, such as Incinerate and Do You Believe in Rapture, and I get a resurgence of optimism, it just sinks. If this was my first exposure to SY I can honestly say that I'd not have been that keen to investigate them any further. Still, my not liking it hardly makes it a bad album.

I always liked Rather Ripped for what it was: An enthusiastic and damn catchy album!

^^ this is a fair way to nail it.

One of three SY albums I still don't have, and I don't really feel the need to buy it.

Why don't you quit trying to buy fucking elite? It's a great album, it's different from what they did before, they can't be constantly doing the same album, they'd be AC/DC then. I love Rather Ripped for it's pretty good songs, although it keeps the noise to a minimum, it's still a pretty good and enjoyable record.
And just for you haters: I own it both on CD and vinyl.

wow that's double punishment then hahahahahaha
