Goo...
 

just gets better and better every time I listen to it.

That is all.

Carry on.

I still need to buy Daydream Nation. I'll do that ASAP, but I'm low on money right now.

What do you mean, "weird joke"? Does that mean that my opinion is "wrong" in some way? It's my opinion. I posted in my intro post that I'm just getting into SY, and this is the only album I have by them so far, and there are a lot of CDs I have that I like better with each listen. Oh, and which CD are you referring to, anyway?

(If you want a weird joke, here's one:

What's the difference between a lobster and a muffin?

Purple, because ice cream has no bones.

I said it was weird. I didn't say it was funny.)

Better than Dirty, I say.

reassesing goo #2?

Nope, just love.

Goo has a great summery feel to it.

After all these years it's still up there :)

Well.. uh.. we just all reassessed goo endlessly in another thread, but for some reason I found myself going back and listening to it 3 or 4 times after listening to it for that thread (I didn't do that with their other albums)... anyway.. my thoughts still stand.. good riffs, production sounds a bit muddy in places (Mary-Christ), GREAT drumming, a few real throwaway tracks (Friend Goo, Scooter, Mildred), sassy vocals/occassionally bad lyrics ("Hi-dee-ho" "Story of the jelly roll" "hello, Janis" haha), but the album has "Dirty boots" and "titanium Expose", by far and away two of SY's best songs... so... I dunno. If I were to rate it out of 10, I'd give it a 7. Sounds about right.

what's so "throwaway" about Mildred Pierce?

uhh.. have you heard it? Heh. It's pretty much a joke song with one part and then some screaming. By my estimates, "my friend goo" is less of a throwaway -- though it's just a really awful song.

Yawn.

Titanium Expose alone makes Goo a great album.

Goo. Yes, I remember being with them in the studio while Ron St. Germaine mixed Dirty Boots. Kim was particularly charming that day (NOT!). Then I convinced K and T to get Geffen to rent them a Limosine to take them to the record release party. They picked me up at work and we smoked a big doobie on the way to Maxwell's.

Yeah, all the albums from Goo to Washing Machine feel like summer records

I'm actually not too fond of "Mildred Pierce"... it's possibly my least-favorite track on the album. I don't like the screaming. But I like the first minute and a half of it enough to not skip it.

So far my favorite track is still "Disappearer" which is the song that got me into Sonic Youth in the first place.

Goo feels like a warm summer breeze, Dirty is like the last day of school, Experimental Jet Set is a frosty February blizzard, Washing Machine is Paris in spring.

this was the first album i bought

and daydream nation is living on the street.

it's just a matter of opinion, isn't it? that "one part" is absolutely wonderful according to myself - and when it comes to the screaming part, i just press skip.

I didn't say the "one part" wasn't good. I said the track was a throwaway. And it is. That's not an opinion; it's OBVIOUSLY filler. There is no great arching theme on the album where it really needs to be there in order to fill some kind of continuation or something... same for "scooter and jinx". I know some people might worship a minute of 4 feedback solos, but......

Goo = Genius
