EVOL and Sister only have one Lee track each, yet they're still considered to be brilliant.

Agreed, ATL is an alright album, though is massively overrated by fans.

Massively underrated rather...

To stick to the topic Thurston, Kim and Lee all have both great songs and poor ones. Lee is indeed the more consistent though.

As Torn said, Lee is the most consistent IMO.

It's a toss between ''Karen Revisited'' and ''Sympathy For The Strawberry''.

I don't get ''Rain On Tin'' at all, I think it's one of SY's worst songs ever.

Yes. And Kim sings the best SY songs too.

Yeah, I don't like Thurston's voice on this song. Too much high.

It totally agree, how many words of lyrics does that song actually have?

Good point about the voice. It's also the song in itself that sounds weak in a late-REM kind of way.

i don't know what happened to thurston's voice in the early 00's, on NYC G+F (Free City Rhymes, Renegade Princess) his voice is really high aswell. Luckily it sunk down into lower frequencies for the last few albums.

It's odd because I tend to prefer Lee Ranaldo's songs but I prefer Thurston Moore's voice to Ranaldo's. One of his best vocal performances, and where his voice is really something else, has to be ''Hits Of Sunshine''.

Yeah, it's very soft on this song, I love it too. Like on Snare, girl.

Lee's voice is at times a little too nasal for my liking.

Agree.

every day it's just another breath
every night another little death
do you scratch and itch when your head feels tight
or wave it away and just stay out all night?

(Saucer-like)

Rather Ripped was saved by Kim songs (Reena, Jams run free, Turquoise Boy) so maybe it's Kims songs that save the day. and we've allready proved that Lee kicks all your butts, so maybe they should sack Thurston?

you do know they work on the songs together, it's just who writes the lyrics the one who sings the song; right?
