Sonic Youth Gossip - Last Album You Bought?

I'm not sure I think any of it actually *sucks*. Certainly none of their albums suck overall.

That said, as much as I love one half of A&E, (as mentioned earlier, of has some of their best 00s moments) the other half is lacking. For one thing there are far too many "fire" ananalogies. Also, the lyrics tend to be cliche, but not in an ironic way.

The album isn't split, like the first half is good, the second shire, but it is equal parts awesome and mediocre.

I cannot find fault with any of the other LPs , though Grace is probably my least fave

No, I meant which of the Plain Recordings LP reissues sucked. Sorry for the confusion.

Are you referring to Plain reissues in general, or Spiritualized specifically? Either way I don't believe I've yet encountered one that disappointed me that much. In fact, like you, I've been largely impressed.

Why? Are you thinking of one particular reissue that "sucks"?

No, it's just somebody above mentioned that Plain Recordings quality isn't always good. I haven't noticed a problem with anything I have on that label. In fact, I'd say Plain Recordings is superior to most reissue labels these days.

My Bloody Valentine - Lost Tracks and Rare Cuts. Great LP but ugly packaging and song sequencing. I plan on re-sequencing the songs for my home tape.

Sonic Youth - SYR 9 LP

I blew my wad this week. I'm forcing myself to wait another pay day before spending more on vinyl. I am lusting after some Birthday Party LPs, though. Don't know if I'll make it.

Prayers is their greatest album, definitely! Although they´ve made nothing that isn´t great. Never heard their peel sessions, have to listen someday!

I had smoe extra cash...I was going to get Blonde Redhead's Fake can be just as Good...but then I saw the LR LP, and it was 15 bucks so I picked LR LP instead.
