It is by far the SYR volume that has been the most challenging for me to get into. But slowly I'm starting to appreciate it. I bought it the week it came out, listened once, and then not again until about 2 months ago.
My first (or rather 2nd) impression of it was that it was rather unlistenable. But slowly bits and pieces started sounding good to me. "What Do You Want (Kim)" I think is the real standout piece. And the screams still sort of make me jump. I can't say I'm all the way there yet. Certainly not like say SYR1, 2, or 7. But I'm getting there. Thoughts? |

It's pretty much the most unaccesible SYR. But it's really good in my opinion - can't really say why though strangely... i don't know. I think the best piece on there is "We Are The Princesses", that one gives me the chills. The oscillators in the background are beautiful, and Kim's voice sounds out of breath.
Very good album indeed |

I don't like this SYR, except International Spy. It's hard to listen this album, very experimental, maybe too much as SYR3.
We Are The Princesses have nice electronics, that's correct.

I think 3 was the weakest of the first trilogy. Yes.

By the way, I've interested very much in Burdocks track from SYR4, ciello and this discharge's with some kind of jerk's, yeah! What you think of it?

SYR5 is what I imagine Phantom Orchard w/ Kim will sound like, haha. Nah, I'm kidding, there's no way it could sound like that. The lyrics on this thing are terrible.
It is probably the worst SYR, which is sad since it came after one of the best Sonic Youth albums period (SYR4). |

This is the first SYR I liked. It's pretty different from everything, but still enjoyable according to me.

SYR4 rules. The best SYR and one of my favorite SY albums, up there with confusion is sex, made in usa, silver sessions, and sister.

I really like it but it took me forever to get into it. I think it's actually brilliant now that I 'get' it; it has a surprising depth. It's great that not every SYR is the usual experimental guitar assault.

Which is why I think SYR9 should be acoustic.

dnt know. The closest I can think of of anything being confirmed is that Steve or Lee had confirmed that a sndtrks boxset was in the works. I guess that COULD be SYR9. And if that happened, I'd be very, very happy.
