Rather Ripped cover art - Page 3

It must be Chris Habib work

weird that u would say DDN, Goo and Dirty are kind of the same : it doesnt sound that way to me : DDN is much more accomplished an album, Goo is "poppy" and Dirty a patchwork of really tight songs ( Theresa's sound world, S Kane, 100%) and of sloppy ones (basically the end of the album with really unsoniclike songs like nicfit, Youth against fascism which I'm glad they never play live).

more or less, there were some good songs, even those didn't do a great deal for me in comparison to their old stuff though.

That's one of their worst covers. Damn, it reminds me of some skate punk band.

Washing Machine · 04.06.2006, 06:11 PM

Dam! I loved the old cover with the toilet

jennthebenn · 04.06.2006, 06:38 PM

like the colors...very underwhelming design. i'm more than a little confident that i won't be saying that about the music, though, so that's all that matters.

i rather think the contrary but everything points out to being this, not worse than nurse (since i love it) but the worse sonic youth album ever, i mean, the cover is kinda like one of the last nails in the coffin. i have to say i thought i didn't like the thurston songs he previewed a year or so ago, i didn't like the song by sonic mirror they posted on the ecstatic peace site. i mean, i hope they recorded better arrangements or lee's parts pick up the slack because, if not, then i'm afraid sy will put out a stinker

and don't try to justify the cover, it sucks, period, it's not punk rock to be lazy and generic.

i really hope it's better than i think it will be

i don't think any of sy's covers have appeared to have taken hours and hours of prep and work. in fact this one may actually have been one that took longer than most since it appears to be a real canvas or board.
anyway, choose your complaints wisely. when have sonic youth set some kind of standard for meticulous cover art?
murray street is a photo with writing on it. evol is a photo with writing on it. bad moon rising is a photo with writing on it. 1000 leaves is a photo with writing on it. goo is comissioned artwork, nurse is comissioned artwork. washing machine is a picture of two people wearing sonic youth t-shirts fer god's sake

they're all memorable, different, and often pretty subtle or basic. so i just don't buy the sentiment that this is somehow subpar.

schizophrenicroom · 04.06.2006, 07:37 PM

i think it's interesting.

i'm kind of afraid, though. i mean, the "sleeping around" demo was pretty neat. i thought before it'd be awesome, but now.. eh. i can't say anything, though.

sonikjuice · 04.06.2006, 07:44 PM

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover... I don't know why everyone is so down on this album. The last two albums have been among their best work and I doubt it was all due to Jim.

schizophrenicroom · 04.06.2006, 07:45 PM

i think it's kind of hard to judge it. the cover looks very rocking.

samuel · 04.06.2006, 08:03 PM

Cool.
I liked the other one better.
But whatever.

LifeDistortion · 04.06.2006, 08:12 PM

This isn't a diss on Sonic Youth or Ranicd, but it looks like it should be the cover of a Rancid album.

Am I the only one who doesn't care at all what the cover looks like?

johnnywinternoshow · 04.06.2006, 09:04 PM

looks pretty good but i preferred the nurse cover

No. All the other people that don't care didn't bother to post.

etertiena · 04.06.2006, 09:12 PM

theres something i like about it.

Well, they should have. I think there's a pretty good case to be made for the irrelevance of what the cover looks like.

Also, there are lots of people who don't care what the cover looks like (for example, the Pope or Joe Rogan or whatever), but they haven't read this thread on the SY forum, and therefore haven't had the opportunity to "not bother."

dazedcola · 04.06.2006, 09:20 PM

It looks like something off of Dischord during the early hardcore days. I actually prefer the "fake" cover of the compact more.
