It is crazy to read the comments people post about their new album. I agree that is does not have the energy or balls of their earlier work, but I think it was a good step for them. Yeah, I thought "gold lion" was sarah and tegan at first, but I still like Nick's guitar playing on the album. They basicly have the same dynamic of the White Stripes w/ just a drummer and guitar. I think taking that into account they get a really good sound. Plus I think especially on a sonic youth board, people would appreciate the nick zimmer's detuned guitar and sy influenced playing, but clearly the comments show otherwise b/c they are so fucking huge now.

Wow, I just convinced myself not to liked them because they are so mainstream now. It is against my programming to like any band that gets some sort of commercial success.
