Sonic Nurse Is Great - Page 3

sy2004 · 04.07.2006, 04:27 AM

Nurse belongs certainly in my top-5 of Sonic albums. Favourite tracks are Pattern & New Hampshire as they remind me to their EVOL & Sister days.
If I have to pick a weaker track, let it be dude ranch nurse.

Rob Instigator · 04.07.2006, 08:49 AM

fucking A! SONIC NURSE is great
I listen to it anytime, when chillin, when rockin, when smokin, whatever.

My favorite song on Nurse is New Hampshire. (my favorite songs are ussually the LEE songs)

Murray street is a fantastic fucking album. I love it all. that one affects me like nurse affects you laila. I listen to Murray street when I am chilling. my favorite Murray street songs are
PLASTIC SUN
and
KAREN REVISITED

I fucking love plastic sun. I love the old school jittery punk feel, reminds me of minutemen, or no means no.

Makes sense, MS and nurse had a very open, almost jammy, feel to them which is goign to be missed. But we did get two fuckin great albums out of it.
I like Nurse a lot more than murray street. Partly becuz I saw them on the nurse tour when I barely knew any of their songs and it changed my life, so I love this album. I also think I may be one of the few people actually really love both plastic sun and arthur doyle... once I had MS in my friends car and while sun was on he asked me if i wanted to swtich cds and I said, "no, it's just a hisssy fit, and it's almost over." and that's why I love it.

I can neve rpick a favorite nurse though, they're all really good. Like I'd say it's their most consistent album, not best, but the most together feeling one. I love the way pattern recognition starts off, that first riff just bending off, great lead in to a good time. unmade bed, peace attack, and dripping dream are great thurston songs, some of my favorite. Lee's is good, not his best, but perfect fit on the disc (my girlfriend's favorite tho).

Fun fact - i wrote peace attack on the back of my jacket. I guess if i had to pick a favorite song, it might be that one.

It sure is

atari 2600 · 07.18.2006, 07:08 PM

It is great. It's Sonic Youth's best since Washing Machine. & my favorite is Dude Ranch Nurse as well.

I expressed all this is previous writings here at this accursed board.

Betrand, there's several Sister-era shows that are amazing, & Murray Street shows, on the whole, are even better than Sonic Nurse shows as far as song performances. On the Sonic Nurse tour though, Sonic Youth really streched out with some wondrous interludes.

thethuthinnang · 07.18.2006, 07:30 PM

I love Nurse. New Hampshire can brighten the worst day.

atari 2600 · 07.18.2006, 07:55 PM

my second favorite, yep.

dazedcola · 07.18.2006, 08:28 PM

Yea i like Sonic Nurse a lot. I think its the best record they've released this decade. In light of RR I appreciate Nurse more now. Its a record you can keep coming back to you and discovering new things to.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 07.18.2006, 08:29 PM

I got Nurse on vinyl, and I almost feel that I'd like it more if I got it on a CD. My 4 favorite songs all happen to be on different sides. If I had the CD I could just listen through.

Asim · 07.18.2006, 08:59 PM

I'm surprised Unmade Bed wasn't mentioned, greatest [guitar] song on the album. Sonic Nurse was great, but I wish they'd replace Hand Cream and Golden Blue with anything, or atleast make it shorter. Peace Attack is also really clever, but I always had a problem with music crossing politics.

atari 2600 · 07.18.2006, 09:23 PM

& that's why Thurston keeps it ambiguous, Asim, because he realizes he's never gonna be Sir John Winston Ono Lennon. Not in a million fucking years.

I love Unmade Bed. It's a classic. I, like you, have never gotten too fired up about I Love You Golden Blue either. It's the album's weakest track. I also was pissed to hear Jim's production flourishes on Handcream when I first listened to Sonic Nurse. Now, it makes a lot more sense, but Golden Blue gets skipped more often than not.

Daddylikes · 07.18.2006, 09:59 PM

New Hampshire and that song about Dub Reggae are the ones that I skip non stop.

Golden Blue is one of my favorite tracks. The lyrics aren't great, but the music rizzocks.

kingcoffee · 07.18.2006, 11:49 PM

Nurse is a truly great SY album. I love the more complex nature of the songs. Jim O'Rourke really revitalized and inspired the band on that record. It's one of my favorite SY albums. The songs are so lush, but not overly so like in some Flaming Lips stuff. The songs are complex, but not painstakingly so. It's just right. Plus the band is in top form both musically and lyrically.

I love this album 100 times more than Rather Ripped. It's the obvious better record. Anyone who thinks otherwise is out of their fucking gourde.

Rather Ripped should have been more in the vein of Sonic Nurse.

static-harmony · 07.18.2006, 11:53 PM

Sonic Nurse is pretty cool. I like it cause it chills me out, all the time. When I'm stressed.

foldback · 07.19.2006, 01:24 AM

I love Murray Street, but Sonic Nurse is probably my favorite SY album. It feels like everything they've ever done and experimented with through their career came together perfectly... at least for me anyway.

Standouts? "Unmade Bed," "Stones," "Paper Cup Exit," "Mariah Carey," "New Hampshire"... oh, jeez, well it's all freaking fantastic, isn't it...

therealglenstyler · 07.19.2006, 11:19 AM

its taken me the longest of any of their albums to get into, i was completely indifferent to it till a couple of months ago but I am now right there. love it.

same here.

great album. unmade bed would be my favourite. i love pattern, coz it's performance. than...well, everything.

Trasher02 · 07.19.2006, 12:19 PM

Sonic Nurse is a masterpiece, this should have been the final SY-album. It would have been a perfect finisher BUT NOOOOOOO THEY wanted to make a ghey-ass pop record album.

I rly hope the next one will have some noise.

Rob Instigator · 07.19.2006, 12:37 PM

RR is fucking GENIUS amazing ROCK

sonic nurse is amazing. My faves are golden blue, hand creme, and dude ranch nurse.
