Where's the damn love?

lovesonicevol · 07.09.2006, 01:15 AM

Why does most everyone I meet or every review I read hate NYC Ghosts & Flowers? This has been one of my favorite Sy albums for awhile. The whole thing has very eerie/depressing/artsy tones which is sonic love to my ears. I am not saying it is the all time greatest SY record, but it deserves better treatment I think. Does anyone agree?

I totally agree! I heart 'NYC Ghosts & Flowers!'

I think, considering their gear theft in '99, it was a damn good album. Really different, completely poetic.

lovesonicevol · 07.09.2006, 01:42 AM

Thank you! I was begining to worry about the ears out there. I usually say fuck critics, but it seems every review for that particular album are total trash. It's a shame really.

Nice signature drrrtyboots. Haha.

Not advocating drug use, but NYC G&F is a trip when stoned, LIGHTNIN made me hallucinate about frogs. NYC G&F a nice album.

AbsentDadaSezFuckOff · 07.09.2006, 02:09 AM

Well do drugs if you can handle it , whatever.

That's funny because I was just thinking about how much of a "trip" NYC G&F sounds like just last week.

Good! We should start a NYC G&F Army to kick all of the critics arses.

Pax Americana · 07.09.2006, 02:04 PM

I quite enjoy NYC G&F. I've seen good reviews of it too, but I know what you're saying, there are a lot of negative write-ups about that album.

max · 07.09.2006, 02:47 PM

I like that one a lot. Intense is a word that comes to mind. But which SY album is not?

Very true.

schizophrenicroom · 07.09.2006, 06:02 PM

I think Wire gave it a good review when it came out.

It really is underrated. The title track, especially.

cura · 07.09.2006, 06:07 PM

Great album...

It took me a while, but I love it now.

samuel · 07.09.2006, 06:10 PM

We love it.
