I don't really like using fractions of numbers. Kind of defeats the purpose of giving a score out of ten. You may as well do it out of 100, just remove the decimal.
You missed 'Bubblegum' out or was that on purpose because it's only on the rerelease or somthing. And you missed 'Marilyn Moore'. I think this is probably my second favourite Sonic Youth album. Tom Violence 9.5 Shadow of a Doubt 10 Star Power 9 In the Kingdom #19 9 Green Light 9 Death to our Friends 8 Secret Girl 9 Marilyn Moore 8 Expressway to yr Skull 9 Bubble Gum 7 I might change my mind on this or do it out of 100. EDIT thats more accurate i think |

I kinda agree with you kinda don't. When I was in college I went through a period of coming home absolutely knackered, so I would always lie on my bed and listen to either this album or washing machine. As I lay there I would drift off into a kind of half sleep, very much helped by the outro of Expressway and then bubblegum would suddenly burst in and I would be shocked awake. That happened so many times, it's a great album to fall alseep to. |

Yeah, that happens to me and that's one of the reasons I hate the song. It just ruins the album as a whole, but you can always just stop your CD player before it comes on. |

Maybe five or six months ago, my computer was busted, so to keep myself alive at night while I finished my homework, I'd listen to this. Save for a few, this has the best sequencing. Starpower fades into In The Kingdom, which is pure genius, going from that red love song to a pitch black horror movie. But then! Green Light. I always fell asleep right after that- something about T's vocals. It's another hazy love song. I'd give it an 88/100. I never cared for Tom Violence or Marilyn Moore. I programmed my player to skip them. I like the lyrics, but eh.

Marilyn Moore plays like a hangover, which is really great for music. I think the song was written by Lydia Lunch too, which explains it. Tom Violence is on of the songs that make SY an ideal band for older teens, mainly because of the lyrics of songs like that and Green Light.
