Experimental Jet Set - Page 4

mysonichaircut · 10.31.2009, 07:24 AM

its great, and the one i've probably listened to the most. the only song on it i dont like that much is self obsessed and sexxe, but its still a good song. the others are just brilliant. and in case of the sound engeneering its probably their best record.

i might be the only one who feels this way,
and its probably irrelevant anyway,
but i like rather ripped better

nice comparison. both records were more pop-oriented, as opposed to longer jams of murray street. i guess the eternal is pop-oriented too. i wonder what the youth think themselves!

Nope. I found I like one or two more songs than I did before though. Maybe I'll like it more as time goes on... because this is the only Sonic Youth album I can not bother with.

Genteel Death · 11.01.2009, 07:24 AM

Do you like rather ripped more than dirdeee?

Derek · 11.01.2009, 07:41 AM

Hmm.. well I liked Rather Ripped when it came out but I've not listened to it since then so... maybe, maybe not.

pinkstation · 11.01.2009, 09:37 AM

no,
i personally really like the SECOND half of dirty.
"JC"
"Purr"
"Chapel Hill"
"Wish Fullfillment"

i think those are just good songs

I'm one of those rare fans who thinks RR is one of their strongest works. I think it's above and beyond Experimental Jet Set, which I think is probably their worst record to my ears.

it's my favourite !!!!

Seandi · 11.03.2009, 09:45 PM

It's a strong record. A rocking horse winner.

Satan · 11.03.2009, 10:42 PM

you know i listened to it recently and it's an ok record. not their best but not bad. bull in the heather is great of course.

Chris Lawrence · 11.04.2009, 03:00 AM

that sig picture is amazing, Satan.

i listened to jet set at work the other night at random and you know, i really love it. it's an oddity, for sure, but i think it works. how can you argue w/ 'winner's blues' 'bull in the heather' 'starfield road' 'skink' 'bone' 'androgynous mind' 'doctor's orders' & 'sweet shine'?! and i just named most of the record...

really beautiful guitar tones all over, some great vocals, a lot of really soft songs, which they don't do fairly often, and some quirky weird quick rocker type things...i dunno, i think it's great. as i believe i said earlier, the biggest downfall is no lee song.

mostly i just replied to comment on the pony though.

naptime music for old folks in the skronk old folk's home.

Genteel Death · 11.04.2009, 12:37 PM

Wrong thread, Rob. They Might Be Giants's thread is on page 79 of non-sonic sounds. You started it, I think.

Rob Instigator · 11.04.2009, 12:42 PM

piece of dirt
that is what I'm standing on today

waltermcphilp · 11.04.2009, 01:47 PM

It's a pretty neat album.
