Don't get me wrong, this is a very good record indeed, and it contains my ALL TIME favourite track, let alone favourite SY track (Shadow of A Doubt). However, that said EVOL wouldn't ever make it into my top 5 Sonic Youth albums, and nowhere near my own 'greatest albums ever' list. It's just too varied, it has some moments of utter genius, Shadow of A Doubt, Expressway, In The Kingdom, Marilyn Moore, but also, in my opinion some of SY's weakest tracks; Starpower (just can't stand that one!) and Green Light. If I had to describe EVOL as anything it'd be slow-moving, it just doesn't have the energy records like Sister have. Along with Washing Machine, it remains one of those supposedly seminal SY albums I don't wholly 'get'.
