What do you want the next SY album to sound like? - Page 2

jean-nicolas · 10.04.2006, 02:01 AM

I'd like it to be a mix of A thousand Leaves and SYR1.

porkmarras · 10.04.2006, 02:10 AM

Grime.

youthoftomorrow · 10.04.2006, 02:14 AM

Sonic Mariachi.

confusion is sex

sonicl · 10.04.2006, 08:01 AM

I've said this loads of times before, I may as well say it again:

I would love to hear an album from SY recorded largely on acoustic instruments. Let the songwriting come out from behind the noise, 'cos the noise is still, after all these years, seen as a gimmick by the media and the non-fan. I would love for there to be an album that forces people to focus on the band's songwriting skills and musicianship.

HeatherAngel · 10.04.2006, 08:25 AM

DAYDREAM NATION!

or at leasr something a lot harder...

Rob Instigator · 10.04.2006, 09:45 AM

I want sonic youth to record an album with steve albini and teahc the world how to grind the skronk yet again, for the new millenium.

Danny Himself · 10.04.2006, 10:00 AM

I'd like a mix of Pavement (circa 'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain', especially 'Newark Wilder') and Brian Wilson. Some epic shit without too much of the gimmicky noise-for-noise's-sake.

satirejohn · 10.04.2006, 11:10 AM

i would also like the production to be less clean and more atmospheric (EVOL is a good example I guess).. obviously it would be cool to have a new direction, however I hope there'll be more noise this time around.

guitarpro · 10.04.2006, 11:42 AM

pure insanity

screamingskull · 10.04.2006, 11:44 AM

like Daydream nation/Murray street/Washing machine all put into a blender.

CIS sounds nothing like BMR and EVOL
BMR and EVOL s.n.l. SISTER
SISTER is basically a shorter version of DN
DN s.n.l. GOO, Dirty, EJT&NS
G, D, E... don't really sound alike either, do they?
They don't sound like WM, ATL, MS, SN

What will they do after Rather Ripped? Well, SY have played with a certain sound more than once before, so I'd love to hear more songs by Gordon a la "Turquoise Boy" (for the first time, maybe since the 80s, she steals the show as a vocalist).

I guess I'd like something that is as atmospheric (but not necessarily as dark) as Bad Moon Rising and as adventurous (but not necessarily as long) as Daydream Nation.

Trasher02 · 10.04.2006, 12:11 PM

Why a new album? RR rocked soo HARD!

alyasa · 10.04.2006, 02:18 PM

An album with songs like "Rats"; off of RR; mixed with "Stones" off of Sonic Nurse... Oh, and more Lee songs. Thank you very much.

scott v · 10.04.2006, 02:34 PM

"SISTER is basically a shorter version of DN"

i couldn't disagree more... Sister is basically better than Daydream Nation.

nicfit · 10.05.2006, 03:16 AM

Yeah I think we can be pretty certain SY will sign with Geffen or Universal. Although I think they should find another major label or at least a more prolific independant. Geffen is a bit of sinking ship, and I don't think they've done enough to promote Sonic Youth. Their last few albums have been some of the most groundbreaking albums of their career, they deserve to have more attention.

zulfiqar · 10.06.2006, 01:04 AM

something with a bit more noise than rather ripped, but with the harmony of the guitar work on murray street and sonic nurse.

Another thing, I really like the tuning thurston has used for most of the tracks on the past couple albums (CGDGCD) but I wouldn't mind if he broke out a new one.
