Just found this thread. Thought it would clash nicely with the "00s" thread.
As for my comment: Surprising is how I would characterize SY in the 00's. As one who listens to the SYR series on a seamless continuum w/ the albums proper (for better or worse) I was expecting a more thorough integration of avant-noise work-outs into the regular albums after SYR4. That never really happened. Everything just keeps "rocking." That said, NYCG&F was an auspicious inauguration of the decade. Maybe it was the instrumentation--after losing their old gear they had to start from scratch.
