Same here actually.

It was the first SY album I ever listened to but I don't listen to it often at all.

whaaaaaaaa?

sonic sphere · 10.06.2011, 03:33 PM

syr's 5 through 8

Count Mecha · 10.06.2011, 06:34 PM

Are we counting that first EP? With I Dreamed I Dream on it or whatever. Never heard that one in it's entirety. After that, it's probably A Thousand Leaves. Not for lack of listening to it, I just always forget what the middle sounds like. I think Female Mechanic Now On Duty is track three. I know Hoarfrost, Karen Koltrane, and Hits of Sunshine are in there somewhere, but it's just a jumble, and I don't remember any other titles before Heather Angel at the end. Still really enjoy that album though haha.

maybe some SYR's aren't listened too much... but really--none

Me too, I will try and give it another listen today.

Part of Altar boy became "Rain on Tin", and if ya listen closely, part became "Turquoise Boy" as well (oddly enough, one of the better songs off of Rather Ripped).

I love Hurricane Floyd, too. Gorgeous album.

Dude.. how is that even possible?

How can you be a SY fan, a big enough fan to post on an SY board, and not be familiar with "Shadow of a Doubt", "Starpower, "Green Light", etc. ?

I don't get it.

That's like a Beatles fan who doesn't know Rubber Soul. Total WTF.

Pelle · 10.07.2011, 03:24 PM

I'm listening to Sonic Nurse now, trying to get "into" it and I certanily did!
It's really good but I still havent picked up any "hits" or favourite songs from it yet..guess It'll take some time.

E. Noisefield · 10.07.2011, 03:51 PM

Oh, and if we're counting the SYR releases, then certainly those would constitute most of my "least-familiar-with" list.

Nurse's best moments:

"Peace Attack"
"New Hampshire"
"Unmade Bed"
"Pattern Recognition"
"Dripping Dream"

Peace Attack kinda sounds REM-y, and you'd think that would make it suck, but it's actually a pretty perfect SY tune. I think REM rips SY, and that's why they sound similar at times. SY came first after all.

I think I agree with that list 100%. I'm pretty sure those are all my favorites. I seem to recall back in the day when Nurse was still semi new that not many people on here were big fans of Peace Attack. I think it's a great last track.

Experimental jet Set. its their least cohesive album. I dunno if they were close to breaking up at the time they made EJS but i think they sound like a band whove lost their focus, it sounds like the end of an era stylistically.

Rob Instigator · 10.07.2011, 05:11 PM

least familiar with the shitstank suck that is EJST&NS

shit-STANK SUCK I say.

Count Mecha · 10.07.2011, 05:15 PM

I like EJST&NS still quite a bit. Hell, it's the first album of theirs I heard and the one that made me a fan. But I'll definitely admit it's an album that sounds like they made it just to make an album. But you're out of your mind if you don't know that Sweet Shine fucking RULES!

Rob Instigator · 10.07.2011, 05:21 PM

SHIT STANK SUX!

(compared to their other output. even shit stank suck SY is better than top of the line anyone else!)

Hmm. I don't think they were anywhere near breaking up during that period. Or during any other period, really.

I love EJS. It was my first SY album. It's like their White Album sorta, even though it's a Thurston/Kim affair and not really a "whole group" album. It's just crazy and laid back and unconcerned and totally badass.
