I see what you're saying. I wasn't implying that at all with sonic youth though... I still think it's a great thing that they didn't just become dull and repetitive. You never know what to except with them. That alone should earn everyones respect. Also, they're a band I'd follow (yeah... kind hard to do that now!) and support no matter what. I'm sure most people have a handful of artists whom they're "loyal" to regardless of the changes that are made. It's merely a matter of preference here. They went through different phases therefore there will be various reactions that are distinctive from one another. Most of their 90s-00s work was solid, but there were a few disappointments and the only one I'd consider great is Nurse. I don't know... I certainly don't despise "change" at all.
