yeah
that song kicked ass
i hope they added a lil noise to it

despite my reservations, i'm still looking forward to a tour... although i have a feeling they won't make it to scotland again... still i'll be willing to travel unless the new ellpee totally sucks beyond redemption... shit, if i see them this year, it'll be my 7th SY gig....

Personally, I can't wait for the new album.
Really looking forward to it!

look, the new album will rock and the new album will have its dissers too. sy is sy, similar to the fall..... always a bit different but always the same.

maybe this is another era starting sound of sy, maybe it will be back to the old 80s style.. who knows and for once i DONT wanna hear an advance copy of it. im gonna wait till the release date and go for a long drive with it blasting fom my car.........

death on the highway revistited!!!!!!!

It'll definitely have it's detractors, 'cause it's going for a more rock song element I think - a neew 'Dirty' is the impression I get, although I could be very wrong.

We could be lucky. THis decade has already given us Murray Street, I can't help but feel that another true classic is in the offing.

release date ?
 

6th of June

damn, i´m so excited

i wonder what the cover will look like?

They apparantly wanted te 6th, but one site last week said definitely the 13th.

that's what I heard Hip Priest, I guess it doesn't matter, I mean, what's another week right???

I don't know think I like the name so much

:) I'm not going to listen to it until it's released either... no advance copies or leaked downloads for me this time.

I can't wait to get it on vinyl and spin it on my turntable for the first time.

the title is ok. i know it'll be better after i've heard the album

There's a lot of talk about whether it's 13th or 6th. Thurston said 6 and MTV said 13. I wonder if it will follow the "Murray Street" style, or go back to their older sound.

I'm totally stoked to hear the Sonic Youth album!

kind of unanswerable at the moment, but I definitely wonder if lee will be on keys for any of this new stuff?

His organ playing on golden blue was righteous!

has it been determined how many songs each member wrote on the record ? I think i heard it was 1 lee song :(. Anyone know how many kim or thurston songs ? also does anyone know which new song is lee's ?

Yep.....I don't want to hear any of it until it's released either.

I read a while ago that they're going for the fairly standard 1 Lee song, 4 for Kim and 5 for Thurston. But then, I thought there were going to be 12 songs in total, does that mean 2 instr.? Maybe, that's just old info. I'm not sure.

A bit off topic, but what number album do you make this?
I'm never sure whether to count SYRs, The Whitey album etc. etc.

That's the first time I see the issue of a Sonic Youth album (SYR 6 excepted), cause I'm a young fan, so I can't be more excited, and the Thurston Moore acoustic set I heard (with Or, Pink Steam and the fantastic Do you Believe in Rapture) is... I can't wait.
