Nurse is a truly great SY album. I love the more complex nature of the songs. Jim O'Rourke really revitalized and inspired the band on that record. It's one of my favorite SY albums. The songs are so lush, but not overly so like in some Flaming Lips stuff. The songs are complex, but not painstakingly so. It's just right. Plus the band is in top form both musically and lyrically.
I love this album 100 times more than Rather Ripped. It's the obvious better record. Anyone who thinks otherwise is out of their fucking gourde.
Rather Ripped should have been more in the vein of Sonic Nurse.
