holy shit, just now listening to the title track

i love this album very much...cause S.Y had the good taste to include "the spacestatic guitar" of Rafael Toral in renegade princess (and it sounds beautiful), the homage to the great poet W.S. Burroughs, and the noisy melodys of the songs ( "a romantic contrast betwen near silence and the absolute chaos")

I'm ordering this on Amazon tonight (along with Murray Street, Sonic Nurse and Trees...), in order to finally complete my collection of "major" Youth releases. Will take the total owned up to 31, which I know isn't as high as some peoples, but still makes them the most dominant force in my collection by some margin. So you may well have a new member in a couple of weeks

I've been collecting for 10 years. Others here even longer. But don't worry. You'll catch up. The fun of collection SY is that there's always SOMETHING else you want/need to have!

It's more than music

Whatever it is, it's in black and white

...whether I agree with it or not (obviously I don't), it's one of the worst reviews I've ever read. Usually when you give an album a bad rating like that, you explain why. The only thing I got is "it's too New York."

The concept of a 0.0 is obviously just a "statement" of some sort from someone who wishes he were in a position to make such a statement, since I can't even conceive of a record that actually merits 0 out of 100 decimal points.

That said, not only does he fail to defend his score, but he actually makes it sound quite a bit better than a 0.

I really hope he got fired. Even Pitchfork must see throught the snobbery of that "review". He conveyed absolutely nothing worthwhile with the review, and his opinion is in severe conflict with most people interested in this kind of music. You can't do much worse than that.

atsonicpark · 08.10.2008, 08:43 PM

They gave the brilliant Pullhair Rubeye a 0, didn't they?

And Zareeka?

SuperCreep · 08.10.2008, 10:19 PM

I remember P4K took off that Zaireeka review for a while, probably due to embarrassment. That review was just the worst. The only word the guy ever used to describe the actual album is "interesting" and spent the rest of the review bitching about having to play it on four separate discs.

Derek · 08.11.2008, 06:56 AM

and then admitted that he never even listened to it through 4 CD players.

SonicBebs · 08.11.2008, 02:49 PM

been listening to this loads since this thread

i used to really dislike NYCGAF when i first got it (except 3 tracks, free city rhymes, nevermind and NYCGAF) but now i can see its beauty. everytrack is gorgeous! love it

Thats what i love about SY. It took me a while to get all of 1000leaves but when you do you're smaked in the face hit by a car in love

mil_pl · 08.12.2008, 06:47 AM

I'd probably join, only made one post though. Joined the NYCGAF as sonicyouth69.

Derek · 08.14.2008, 01:46 PM

yeah make a sonic board group

dionysusundone · 08.14.2008, 02:55 PM

I always thought that review was supposed to be a joke? Like a Chicago Vs. New York thing.
I'll join the group...the only thing I hate about that album is Kim's line in Nevermind...you know the one.

hey, how are scrobbling syr8 ? i mean sonic youth with mats gustafsson & merzbow /or sonic youth med mats gustafsson og merzbow?

atsonicpark · 08.15.2008, 04:19 PM

It's probably just scrobbled as sonic youth since it's an syr release... but the album title would have the others names in the title.

Derek · 08.15.2008, 04:24 PM

Most SY collabs I've listened to always come up as Sonic Youth.
