Honestly, this is for some reason the album I reach for the most aside from A Thousand Leaves and Goo. It's really great, I don't understand how it's panned so heavily. I know it has some lovers too, though, right?

No lover of that album in this forum. It has a few good songs, but compared to other stuff it seems lacking substance.

There are a few weak songs on it, but there are some really strong ones as well.
Jams Run Free is a fucking beautiful song. Generally it's a fun listen through. |

I don't know, I understand that's it's suppose to be a more subdued, meditative album but there are a bunch of other bands that I would go to before I looked to Sonic Youth to provide that.
And it is pretty hard to bare when you realize that REM's last album was more aggressive than the Yoof's last. |

I love it, and it would probably be in my top 5.
I might catch heat for saying this, but I hate EJSTANS and REALLY hate NYC Ghosts and Flowers, two records which often get massive love around here. ~Jeremy~

Yeah I do not understand the NYCG&F love at all. Just sort of boring to me, even the much-loved title track. Not really one of Lee's better songs. I'd say "Hoarfrost" is my favorite of his.

No, but I like it a lot.
My top 5 goes: A Thousand Leaves, Daydream Nation, Sister, Goo, Confusion is Sex. NYCG & F is far and away my least favorite.

If we count in ep's and such, I probably wouldn't even put it in my top 50.

Sorry, but I just thought RR was a pretty poor record. It's probably my least favorite SY album. Here's hoping The Eternal is much much better.

One thing I love about RR is that every song doesn't go 6 or 7 minutes like many other SY records and doesn't just have a mid-song noise outburst. For Daydream Nation, it was cool and inventive. When they did it on practically every record since, it got to be boring and predictable and almost ruined songs. And RR has no filler... I'd even go as far to say it might be their most consistent record since Daydream Nation.
It also was my first SY record I ever bought and was the first tour I saw them on, so it holds a special place in my heart. ~Jeremy~

I don't think RR is THAT bad, but not top 5. never took to washing machine myself, aside from the diamond sea, and that seems to be a favourite...
my top 5 probably: sister, DN, bad moon rising, sonic nurse and murray street sneaking in at the back. |

Some songs on it are amazing, Reena, Incinerate, Jams Run Free, and Pink Steam, but It's probably one of my least favourite SY albums. Some is good, some is bad, it doesn't copmare to the others for me, but overall it's an okay album.

In that case it makes sense that RR holds such a place in your heart. Personally i don't like it but then I haven't been particularly excited by any of their albums probably since Daydream Nation, and the last album of theirs that I liked completely was probably Sister. Saying that, I've been listening back to Goo recently and have developed a new-found love for that album that I definitely didn't have at the time. Maybe in twent years time the same thing will happen with RR. |

I would put it in my top five... if I had a CD rack that dispensed CD's from the bottom.
A few great songs, but not one of my SY faves.

I've thought about this, and taking into account all the albums, I'd put this and 1000 Leaves at the bottom of the list. Sonic Nurse would be right above.

I still haven't heard it in its entirety. What I have heard hasn't been very inspiring, so I don't think I'll ever listen to it.
