SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 10.30.2008, 12:27 PM

I'm gonna kick out the jams and let them run free

10.30.2008, 12:29 PM

it is good indeed but sure not one of their best

greedrex · 10.30.2008, 12:30 PM

yep
fuckfuckfuck

10.30.2008, 12:30 PM

It's that time of the year! Open the windows and shout it out really loud!

Rob Instigator · 10.30.2008, 12:56 PM

more enjoyable over a 45 minute span than Murray "ZZZZZ" Street!

noisereductions · 10.30.2008, 01:14 PM

No, MURRAY ST. is better. But RATHER RIPPED is great. I dont see what all the whining is.

SYRFox · 10.30.2008, 01:30 PM

Yah Rather Ripped is good in my opinion. Not their best of course but still enjoyable

terriblecanyons · 10.30.2008, 01:33 PM

I like it. Like everyone else it's not my favorite, but I still like it.

StevOK · 10.30.2008, 01:48 PM

I like it. I like it better than their early stuff.

radarmaker · 10.30.2008, 01:58 PM

You're lucky I need to spread some Murray Street love around again before I can neg rep you Rob

I also like Rather Ripped, but prefer at least a dozen other SY albums to it...

10.30.2008, 02:12 PM

I LOVE murray street
and I miss the echo canyon and echo cam times

[Sandbag] · 10.30.2008, 02:18 PM

hey.. really
its a fuckin good album.

but its like radiohead's in rainbows (could have been a lot better if they wanted) but i guess they were searching for summer pop songs.
and its got pink steam. the best god damn good fuckin song ever

ihateyouth · 10.30.2008, 02:32 PM

I like to ride my bike to rather ripped. It's happy.

cagedbird · 10.30.2008, 03:21 PM

ditto re pink steam. the overture(?) is fresh. the album as a whole is rather rocking. hard to compare to other efforts. but, if we must, the first thing that stands out is definitely its poppiness, whatever that is. is it sonic youth lite?

Not at all, the reason I like is SY is because I think they can create 'pop' and experimental music so competantly. Sadly it seems to be a bit of an either/or situation most of the time, but you can't take the pop out of Sonic Youth.

viewtiful_alan · 10.30.2008, 03:55 PM

I really loved rather ripped, always been a defender
It was my first real sonic youth album though, as it was the first album I owned by them/listened to.
Plus Lee gave it to me.

10.30.2008, 04:12 PM

why did he give it to you (hardcore marketing, like givin the first fix for free, hahaha)?

ruinedbyharps · 10.30.2008, 04:29 PM

I have a massive tolerance for Sonic youth, but which ever way you cut it Rather Ripped is not a good album.
