I don't think it matters too much where they go, since they have been around for so long and their fanbase is so dedicated that they will find their stuff no matter what.

SY should just do everything on their own, forget about the majors, hasn't helped that much up till now anyway.

I wouldnt mind if they stopped making records alltogether as of all the bands that i can think of,they are one of the very few that have kept the quality really high for most of their career until recently.

I said SYR..

Now I agree that A thousand Leaves and NYC Ghosts and Flowers were subpar, but you don't think Murray Street, Sonic Nurse and Rather Ripped aren't great?

I could see why most people don't like rather ripped, but I think Sonic Nurse and Murray Street were better than RR.

Rather Ripped was a piece of useless garbage. I fed it to my garbage disposal.

I was never referring to Murray Street there.

am I out of line to think that Rather Ripped is great? Come on "Pink Steam", "Incinerate", "Do you believe in Rapture" I think they are getting better.

Nothing will ever compare to Sister, Confusion is Sex or Daydream Nation but i think Rather Ripped is up there as far as the DGC stuff goes.

(....I know I'm gonna get fried for this one)

I think they should sell out to Ipecac: Artist-run label; all of their releases have some eye-candy appeal; corporate distro w/out corporate lawyers getting in the way; they can still put out their own vinyl; no need to worry about the day-to-day stuff that comes with running a business; they can finally do a collabo album with the melvins...

is that even a valid question? SYR.
