Sonic Youth Album Review?
Hi, I am a huge Sonic Youth fan. I believe that the reason why so many people dislike NYC Ghost and Flowers is because it has such a unique and original sound compared to the music they had recently been making. It was much slower and experimental. I personally dont care for this album. But one of the biggest reasons I like them is because even after being a successful and critically acclaimed band, they have the courage to release an album so unique and avante garde. They take risks like this to push musical boundries and do their own thing. Their sound is so unique that sometimes it is just too unique for many people to enjoy. My favorite album is Goo, because I think it is the most consistent and ferocious. For old stuff, Bad Moon Rising because of the dreamlike sounds and sweet cover art, and recent stuff I like Rather Ripped. You should look for the "Screaming Fields of Sonic Youth" compilation album. Its a pretty good collection of earlier stuff and has some Day Dream nation era stuff on there too, so you wont have to buy all those albums right away, cuz theres a bunch
