I thought buying it was a mistake, i could not listen to any track but diamond sea.
but, at my eight 'if its so recommended, it shouldnt be so bad' listen, something clicked. it felt like when i listened to DDN. i fell in bliss if we wanna exaggerate. it was a complete and constant experience. fucking-A. and whoever had it, i now understand your tattoo. |

it's one of my least favourite records. sure there's some oustanding songs like the title track, but there's a few duds in there too. I rarely put it on.

i think with sonic youth, you can't really jump from listening to one album to another right away. you have to be in a certain mood to genuinely listen and enjoy it all the way. well, for me anyway.

I've never understood its bad reputation. Always loved it. There's really no SY album I'd call bad.

This is one of my favorite sy albums. There's just parts of this album where i here the things that were always in my head. Orgasmic in nature and wanting to kick a wall down. For me, this marked the new beginning of how I was to play music on my terms. This album never gets never gets old and gets me so pumped with its different soundscapes.

exact same story here. I thought it's horrible album back then (that time I knew only Goo and WM just came out). I did put it into stereo once again while killing time on student dormitory waiting for my friends to come. maybe my best ever listen experience. don't know why. such a great album. Little Trouble Girl would be only song that I'd always skip, but other then that, whole album is ace. pity I miss gig in Prague in '96, it had to be amzing to experience WM material live with Diamond Sea as an encore. |

I like little trouble girl for many reasons. One being the way the instruments are played and recorded. The vocals are so cool sounding. The song goes against most of the album sound wise etc etc. just my 2 cents for whta it's worth.

yeah, many people like it very much. but i just don't. for it's tempo, sound and feeling I'd say. then many people doesn't like Panty Lies and I think it's so cool, same No Queen Blues. |

its agreat album its a fantastic album. the shit songs are few and far between. little trouble girl is like the intermission in a really long film, thats when i go to the lobby to get myself some drinks.......
becuz- groovefest jam queen junkies- nasty dark and yes saucerlike- wonderful washmach- jazztastic kimfest unwind- beauty is everywhere little trouble girl- obligatory toilet break no queen- i dont give a fuck why the bullshit artist should shut up! panty lies- quirky but of fun uun un un un un skip tracer- lee is free again diamond sea- is there any point in talking about this track again... its a gem, a tour of force. a shing beacon amongst an already well lit landscape. its the helicopter landing pad on a real impressive building.... i loved this album when it came out, probably because i felt sy had gone awayy from experimental jstand no star. that album was awful, lets not kid ourselves here, washing machine was a return to the sy we all love! it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if sy did change their name to washing machine like they were gonna do for this album! oh and dont forget my arena!! great track, should have been on album! |

I like this album a lot, mainly because of Lee's songs and also of course the Diamond Sea.

If Kim didn't do any vocals on this album, it would be great.
Even T has some pretty crappy vocals on it... but No Queen Blues is awesome as hell. Lee's songs win. Diamond Sea is amazing. Music is almost always fucking rad, but.. the vocals often fuck it up..... Done!

^ yeah, I pretty much completely agree with that.
I'm not too keen on Junkie's Promise, it always seemed very mundane to me. |

i would have put this album on my no-flaws list*. not one of my favorites personally. the weakest track i thought was no-queen, but that's just because of the repetitiveness.
*would have? i guess it's on there so "did". |

It's a good album. Has great individual songs like Junkie's Promise, Washing Machine, Unwind No Queen Blues (personal favourite) and of course, The Diamond Sea. But it also has some weak tracks like Becuz, Panty Lies or Little Troubled Girl.
I also think that it is one of the noisiest SY albums. Anyone? |
