Ok, I respect your opinion even though I'm disagreeing explosively from my asshhole and esophagus...
But I've got to ask: why do you feel this is the case with Nurse, but presumably not with Murray Street or Nycg&f? I personally think Nurse is weaker than MS, if only because "Dude Ranch Nurse" should have been a b-side, and Murray Street's best moments are *all* on the shortlist of the band's best moments ever.... But why pick on Nurse's production alone when it has so much in common with these other releases?
It's not like they got all precious and corny with their production. Unmade Bed and Dripping Dream contain some of Sonic Youth's most tender guitar tones, but there's feedback swirling in the background, and there's the build up and release of tension...
