Peace Attack

i love you golden blue is the best track. this is one of my fav SY albums, espcially post Daydream.

Same here. And yes Nurse is great.

Nurse has become my all time favorite album. Not only by SY but by all the bands I've listened to. I can't get enough of those perfect songs and listen to it at least twice a day. Dripping Dream is my favorite song. It simply blew my away. It was like falling in love.

am i the only person who dislikes stones? whenever i see em live / listen to bootlegs and the drums come i'm like here we go again...sigh....
dude ranch nurse, pattern recognition, unmade bed, i love you golden blue and mariah carey and the arthur doyle handcream are all excellent tho..

man the dripping dream still makes me lose my mind.
on of their most original songs in my personal opinion

QUESTION:Is it suppose to be "Mariah Carey and the Arthur Doyle Handcream" or "Kim Gordon and the Arthur Doyle Handcream"

Yeah, it's THE song! Beautiful and frightening at the same time.

when narnack put it out as a 7" pre Nurse, it was entitled Mariah Carey...
then they changed it to Kim Gordon when Nurse came out, due to label pressure i suppose...
the original version of plastic sun had a lyrical reference to britney spears that was altered to greasy hair when Murray Street came out...

Nurse is, er.. my fourth favourite SY album. As songwriting goes though it's probably the most consistent they've been, in terms of writing great, melodic tunes. Paper Cup Exit is my favourite

I completely agree with you, except that maybe my favourite is new hampshire, but KG&ADHC really annoys me at times and then other times I find the strained singing pretty good.

Murray Street is a better album in my opinion. It's kind of sad for me that its been reported that since Jim left they're going back to more rocky songs, i loved how the songs on the last 2 albums had room to breathe if that makes sense

To me Murray Street will always have more of an impact on me, due to me seeing SY live for the first time during this tour . I also caught a show from the Nurse tour and it destroyed as I'm sure all shows by them do. I love Nurse, I think its a great record, my favorites are probably: Peace Attack, Paper Cup Exit, Dude Ranch Nurse, Stones, and Unmade Bed. I hope that the youth still has the sprawl of sounds thaqt they captured during the past two albums, I really dig the spread out aesthetic they have been utilizing, it suits me great, all being said tho I'm still extremely eager for the new release.

Sonic Nurse is definatly the best album by Sonic Youth to've come out in the 00's. A sublime album that's all I can say...oh except it's the album that got my ex into them.

*BUMP*

QUESTION:Is it suppose to be "Mariah Carey and the Arthur Doyle Handcream" or "Kim Gordon and the Arthur Doyle Handcream"

my album says Kim Gordon but The Lyrics on the website say Mariah Carey
:confused: i mean what's up with that?

Bleh. I enjoy Nurse. But compared to other Sonic Youth albums, it's just "ok". Really, nothing on the album strikes me as all that amazing. "Paper Cup Exit" is definitely one of Lee's weakest songs, it has this psuedo Local H feel to it. "Dude Ranch Nurse" has that annoying little guitar effect that I fucking hate.

But it's a nice album overall. I mean, Murray Street shits all over it, but I can put it on and enjoy most of it.

sonic nurse is a great album.. all the guitar "exchanges" are excellent!
highlights include
"Paper Cup Exit"
"New Hampshire"
"Dripping Dream"
"Dude Ranch Nurse"
and......."stones"
i also like the mariah anhem

Sonic Nurse is Sonic Youth's best album to date! Dripping Dream is simply one of the greatest songs ever written, I Love you Golden Blue is heart-rendering in a way that only Kim can pull off. If Rather Ripped continues where Nurse left off Sonic Youth will be entering their finest musical stage in my opinion.

Ok... let's not get carried away. I think Nurse is their best album since Dirty, but it is not in the same category as Daydream, Sister, or EVOL.

Nurse more & more often tends to be my favorite album.
Add to that that live versions were wonderful, which wasn't the case for the 87 & 88 lives from Sister & DDN I've heard.
One might think that live versions wouldn't count, but it does when what you hear is great. For instance, I would have never understood why so many people praised Rain On Tin til the moment I heard it played live, for I've never been that moved by Murray Street.
