Favourite SY Album of the 00's
 

Okay this has probebly been done loads of times, but im bored here goes, another poll - Favourite SY album of the 00's, im gonna have to go with Sonic Nurse, I just love that record.

none?...

Sonic Nurse. Good memories of that tourr... oh yes..

I enjoy all of them, but Murray Street was too short, Rather Ripped loses momentum after you've had incinerate fucked up your ass so many times, and NYCG+F isn't really much of a first choice, although it is very good.

That's one of the worst.Die in your sleep.......slowly.

Murray STreet
NYC Ghosts and Flowers
Sonic Nurse
Rather Ripped

The 00's, though, have been a great period for Sonic Youth. Very high standard of output.

nurse
nyc
murray
rather!

Switch Nurse and NYCGF and you've got it. I also agree that through the 00's, output has been top notch. (Not to slag off on RR)

Nurse at the moment.. then MS, RR, NYCG+F. it's changing all the time, and i love 'em all a ton.

a thousand sleeps

Sonic Nurse is a masterpiece. I consider it better than DDN. Every song is good. It's a very underrated album. But I love all of the '00s albums. After Nurse, I can't pick an order for the remaining three albums. I like them equally.

MS is the only one I enjoy.

nurse is the only one I enjoy.

take that hayden.

Dumb cunt.

pussy cunt whore.

That hurt, really.

i bet.

Don't know what to read or write or say.......

Frankly, I don't see why people seem to love Sonic Nurse and Murray Street so much...for me MS had "Karenology/Karen Revisited" and "Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style" ("Rain On Tin" is a good song, but it's hardly the masterpiece some fans/critics make it out to be), while SN had no really good songs after "Stones" ("Paper Cut Exit" was OK, but I think Lee's done/can do better, and "I Love You Golden Blue" had a cool intro but after that the track was weak IMO)...

I think the expression "Too many cooks spoil the broth" works in the case of Sonic Youth's 2000s...Jim O'Rourke might be good with Gaster Del Sol and such, but with SY he did nothing but weigh down the band and overcomplicate things, turning them into a second-rate Wilco ripoff at best and weak post-rockers at worst.

For me, Rather Ripped is more cohesive and propulsive, now that they've shed the excess baggage...I haven't heard enough of NYC Ghosts and Flowers to judge there, but what I have heard I like...
