closer to '...' (about new album)
 

I can't wait for this album, so let's talk how he should sound like!

I think I would be glad, when it will sound somethink like Dirty,
I want some Sonic Energy!

I hope it's more in the vein of that track "Mars" than in the vein of that track "No Way", but I doubt it...

I agree. Less of the Thurston mellowed-out tracks we've heard on Sonic Nurse etc, let him let rip a bit more, particularly vocally, like on the earlier SY records.

I really like him on Sonic Nurse!

Well I consider Sonic Nurse as one of their best records, and I really like Rather Ripped, but I'd like them to evolve a bit now...

same as me.
but te question is, to which album they should come back a little, while they will be recording new one ?

a bit of Dirty, a bit of Evol + some more noise

I hope they do more atmospheric stuff in the vein of EVOL... just give us some real food for thought.

yeh, I hope it's got a bit more of energy than rr (which was kinda chilling) i want more songs like Orange Rolls...

i really like the production in Dirty, and it's ok if they do something similar as far as it doesn't make the album loose its atmosphere.

My violence is a dream.........................

I feel the same way, they are amazing records, but enoughs enough.

and it will be written* in EADGBe

:o

i want a bit of Bad Moon Rising, a bit of EVOL, something that confuses the non-sonic fans, more noise! bring back the prepped guitars!

i think she should sound more like the kill yr idols ep.

I would go for murray streets karenology+sympathy for the strawberry, plus 1000k karen and wildflower and a bunch of noisier shit. and I want jim back

the jim era is over.

i want it to be like the completely different non-existant sonic youth record

"Turquoise Boy" and "Pink Steam" showed that SY are still capable of epic rockers...

So let's have some epic rockers in that vein, with some atmospherics a la "Or" with a a completely experimental mood track in the vein of "Providence" or two.

having listened to a lot of live SY lately (however you choose to define 'lately'), all i can wish is that they capture some of their live energy on the next record. listening to live versions of songs like 'french tickler' or 'radical adults' where lee's guitar is just LOUD and NOISY and CRUSHING compared to the album versions where it's buried (two weird examples, i know) makes me long for an album where they really amp up the noise, not necessarily gratuitously but comparative to their live shows.

every song should be a remix of confusion is next. you know, like the lee mix, the steve mix and so on...... then the grand finale would be a fatboy slim mix and that'll be their biggest hit on mtv and the radio. well it would be if this was still 1998.

I just want half-decent lyrics.

Raher Ripped isn't that bad, really. The lyrics and the title completely ruin it, however. They should have made that album instrumental.
