When I first heard "Experimental jet set" I was a little disappointed. Maybe because itīs very rock-oriented album and including not much that "sophisticated melodic Sonic-style", that I liked a lot. But when Iīve listened the album more, I have started to like it more. Also "NYC Ghost & Flowers" was disappointment at first, but now it has been as usual on my record player as the others!

In coincide I forgot "Whitey Album", "Washing Machine" and "The Destroyed Room" for the list. In my opinion these three are very very great albums and deserves also A + (thatīs highest grade of mine : ))

And after my last post I noticed, that I had written " a thousand lives". Hope Sonic Youth members have thousand lives and make music also in their next lives! : )

I much prefer albums being marked out of ten. It's so much simpler and less pretentious.

All I can say Melack is take your time enjoy an album for a few weeks or so before purchasing the next one. If I was to make a suggestion it would be an early album like Bad Moon Rising or EVOL.

The range of grades for Rather Ripped is incredible- from F to A+. I found this album to have a more conventional, straighforward sound, but you still hear the trademark blending of noise in Rapture, What a Waste, Turquoise Boy and so on. I would probably give it a B+ or so. I'm wondering why people either hate it or love it.

I think, it is quite usual, that everybody feel about some music, that it is irritable and some thinks that same music is delightful. I think it is important, that music makes you feel something, there is too much music nowadays, that doesnīt cause any reactions at least in my mind. I think "rather ripped" is not conventional, because that word makes me think about the music that is "nice and easy". I think "Rather ripped" is full of beatiful music. Of course itīs "conventional" if you compare it for example "NYC Ghost and flower" or "Goodbye 2000th Century".

Of course, it's not 'conventional' in a general sense, but when you compare it to Sonic Nurse, I think Rather Ripped uses more conventional tuning and song structures.
