oopsy daisy. ok, i'll answer seriously. murray street, although this is going to raise some eyebrows, i don't really think it sounds much like sonic youth; in fact, i think it's one of their more experimental albums since they decided to base themselves on a cleaner sound and to rely on musicianship to deliver the "sonic" aspect that has been their trademark, that in itself is atypical and why i consider it to be a one off for the band, and one quite risky since it's a major label album and not an ep or a syr. it's a fantastic album. nurse, on the other hand, is sonic youth through and through, although they used many of the sounds found on murray street to do it. it showcases some of their sharpest songwriting skills since dirty, coupled with meassured blasts of noise and their new found clean, musical fervor breaks. overall, their most focused in years. and rather ripped, well, i think it was really rushed and the songs are not as developed, although the ideas were there and, had they recorded the album now instead of a year ago, now that the songs are road tested and more developed instrumentally, it would be a far better album than it is. it's not ultra horrible, it's just mediocre, a quick stop collection of songs from off the top of their heads. so, i don't know, can't decide between murray and nurse, but rr is definitely third. |

RR rules!
I say sonic nurse first, then Rather ripped, then Murray street. murray street is a good album but it is dull and lifeless. rather ripped is joy through and through, simple rock n roll a la sonic youth. sonic nurse though, oh man, pattern recognition gets me amped so hard

Sonic Nurse is for me the best thing they have done this decade. Such a beautiful album through and through.

Murray street. It was close though, I think Sonic Nurse is also brilliant. Rain On Tin just makes Murray Street that little bit better for me.

Rather Ripped though still good is the tamest of all three and lacks the dose of heaviness and fuzz guitar noise that exists on Sonic Nurse and Murray Street.
Sonic Nurse is well balanced with clean and distorted guitar tones and some old SY sounds mixed with the new though they don't really amp it up like on certain sections of Murray Street (Rain on Tin, Radical Adults...) which has some amazing guitar interplay that is not much unlike some of the best moments of Amon Duul II's Dance of the Lemmings and thats some killer shit. so Murray Street is number one. |

Like I just said a bit ago... that was here, right? Nurse is so fucking good. I even will go so far as to say it's my favourite of the 2000's. One of my top five of all-time (SY) for sure.
Then MS, and third RR.
