where did you study rock? harvard?

[Sykid87]

yes haha. I was just curious to see others opinions on SY albums.

[mysonichaircut]

thats simple: the eternal B, all the other A.

[Sykid87]

the only ones i really couldnt stand too much except like three songs is Bad Moon Rising and Rather Ripped.

yes, but these 3 songs are brilliant, so its still an A. The Eternal has only some "good" songs, so its B.

[cagedbird]

rather ripped A (keep up the good work...excellent.)
the eternal A (great summarization of previous ideas)

[Sykid87]

I think with the eternal, sounding to me better than rather ripped boosts the grade. cause on rather ripped i liked Incinerate, Pink Steam, and Or alot. on the eternal songs that were good were Thunderclap, Anti Orgasm, Sacred Trickster, What We Know, and No Way. to me both are almost on the same scale. Just everything on Rather Ripped was similiar. That being said Malibu Gas Station and Calming The Snake are similiar and so is Poison Arrow and Leaky Lifeboat are similiar. And seeing them play a RR set compared to an eternal set is a major differenece RR they play in a more calm mellow way. The Eternal you can tell by their enthusiasm that its way more energy packed.

i dont like many songs on rather ripped, but i love the production, it sounds very good. the eternal sounds crappy. reminds me of alice cooper ore something ... :-)

[deflinus]

blah blah blah eternal sucked rather ripped sucked blah blah love washing machine bleeh typical sy fan..

[SYHamilton]

I like them all, except maybe NYCGF. I'm going to pop Bad Moon Rising into the Discman before I go to bed. That's one of those love it or hate it albums. My local independent music store has it in the bargain bin for 7.99 right now.

bmr is good for early morality stances. i mean the song satan is boring is pretty theological if not intellectual. the fight is good? can you say god's imperial mission? anyway, in my family brave men run is lovely, dovetails beautifiully with the recent noise paintings, given the aesthetic purview of ed ruscha who originated the phrase and professes a basically cinematic influence on his work. the noise paintings are very similar. cinema ruleth. sonic youth rule. as for the others, i don't care that much right now. i am a snob because i am listening to the ultra obscure? neil michael hagerty and the howling hex.

[EVOLghost]
