Yeah, but, look what happened after Drozd (the skill) came about, I mean, yeah they reinvented themselves, but they rode on Stephen's talent. Furthermore, they are inconsistent at best, At War With The Mystics embodies that statement.
Thing is, none of the original or current memebers of Sonic Youth had any formal musical training, they probably weren't light years away fromt he FL back in the early 80's as far as talent goes, but look what they did, they created something original and fresh. Sure borrowed from others but who hasn't. Throughout the whole history of the FL, it has always been an outside member (not a founding member) that has wrote most of the music such as Ronald and Stephen.
