What would you like the next Sonic Youth album to sound like? - Page 3

demonrail666 · 03.21.2007, 07:17 PM

I second the acoustic thing, and the addition of other instruments. I like the idea of an altogether looser feel. I can't actually imagine any of the band members exactly falling over themselves to buy an album like Nurse or Rather Ripped. I think they should do something more reflective of what they're actually into at the moment - which is why the SYR stuff has been so interesting in comparison.

How about if they record in a tank, so the sound can reverebrate back and forth.

hawaii?
thailand?
new orleans?

yeah, a rural location, Indiana perhaps?
Would be nice to hear some acoustic songs, musical minimalism has some awesome potential, the possibilities are endless.

How about if they coat their guitar strings in lime-scented shaving foam then proceed to shave the strings with a dispoable razor. (Depilatory cream might be used as an acceptable alternative, but the use of hot wax would constitute a different composition, as would the use of an electric razor.)

No, that doesn't sound feasible.

-No vocals. I am sick of hearing Thurston and yes, even Lee sing. Kim is fine I guess, but on Rather Ripped she really sucked. If she has to sing, let the song be more like "Brave Men Run", and less like "What A Waste". I'm not saying that they should do another "Brave Men Run," I just mean a song as good as that one would be a joy.

-Nothing that brings to mind the term "jam band." They need to figure out a way to write lengthy songs without venturing into jam band territory. Is that too much to hope for?

-If there has to be a vocal line, please let it be different than the melody line. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, when they are the same.

-At last but not least, more METAL [insert high-pitched scream here]. But really, I think if they applied their current skills/knowledge to a genre of music that they normally wouldn't venture into, the result could be astounding. Or it could be a disaster, but you don't know unless you try.
