All of Rather Ripped is now being streamed... - Page 2

This album takes repeated listens, or else it won't really grow on you ...its not an immediate favorite like perhaps, sister or ddn.

Society_In_My_Hole · 05.09.2006, 06:33 PM

If only my computer didn't suck! It'll play like 3 seconds then stop for 10. So annoying, maybe if I let the whole song download it'll play the whole thing. But so far the enitire songs I've heard are Reena, Incinerate, and Sleeping around(all great) and about 40 seconds of Rats(AWSOME!).

Kim's songs are great, but I'm not too big on Thurston's. I find Do You Believe in Rapture kind of boring, but it might grow on me ^_^

I feel the same way.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 05.09.2006, 07:24 PM

This cd really reminds me of other sonic youth stuff, I just cant place it.

selkcip · 05.09.2006, 07:48 PM

hmmm, now that we have the stream, there's no need to purchase it when it comes out!

funhouse · 05.09.2006, 08:12 PM

said it before, i'll say it again . . . maybe it's because kim is, uh, actually singing as opposed to squealing? and does anyone see striking similarities between turquoise boy and dude ranch nurse?

and yes, thurston is at a low point in his career. do you believe in rapture is an abomination. (yes, i'm being harsh . . . but this is NOT what sonic youth is capable of putting out. seriously, t -- we've seen you do better!) --edit-- i take that back . . . sleepin' around and lights out are good.

rats, however, is quite good . . . figures lee would save the album.

perhaps more gain might bring your interest up....

Aghh, Im still trying to hold out for the CD release, but its getting tougher and tougher, especially with the audio stream right in front of me.

sonicderek · 05.10.2006, 02:55 AM

the album is really good, i just couldn't wait anymore with the stream.. i've listened to it twice, and it was even better the second time.. can't wait to see this live!

Jef Mertens · 05.10.2006, 03:11 AM

They really should bring out the acoustic guitar when performing Or live. I heard it in Paris but the recorded version is much more awesome!

marleypumpkin · 05.10.2006, 04:07 AM

The whole album is fucking great!. I don't care what any of you have to say.

whorefrost · 05.10.2006, 09:20 AM

i really can't comprehend why rather ripped is so bad, especially when the helen lundeberg/eyeliner 7" is so utterly fucking bodacious!

sonikjuice · 05.10.2006, 09:35 AM

I think the new album is great. The only songs I'm not digging are Sleeping Around and What a Waste. And really its only the lyrics that bother me with those two songs. The rest of the album sounds amazing.

FruitLoop · 05.10.2006, 10:18 AM

Was going to wait for the release date but... fuck, cds here are twice the price of those back home.... Then I'll make my biannual pilgrimage to L'Oblik and hopefully nab some tickets at the same time, should they play in Montreal, like I did with Nurse.

I'll wait for the sun to set tonight, light up a joint, and listen to it while browsing the forum. Can't wait to lose my RR virginity!

Disgruntled Youth · 05.10.2006, 04:35 PM

One listen & I love it as much as Sonic Nurse if not more. I think they have gone in a cooler more mellow direction. I <3 the youth & the Youth <3 it's kids. I love the album so far. I think they're doing what they want to do & head in the direction they want to. I don't think SY would put out anything their fans won't like or appreciate ,for that matter something they wouldn't like. HAIL SY Hail...........

Pax Americana · 05.10.2006, 04:48 PM

I just listened to the whole thing. So far only a few songs stick out as being really good in my opinion. Although it'll probably take a few listens for me to really get into the album. I didn't like Sonic Nurse that much when I first heard it either, but it really grew on me.

Disgruntled Youth · 05.10.2006, 05:07 PM

Pink Steam & Turquoise Boy are kick ass, one Lee song that's gotta suck for Lee fans. I believe Kim outdid herself in this album. Major props to Kim you kick ass in this new album.

umjammer atomsk · 05.10.2006, 05:07 PM

Just got through all of it; I like most of it but it has some really strange and/or not-so-great parts. I don't know, definitely an easy listen though.

Good, i say! But exactly how good is to be determined in like a month or so once i've listened to it 100+ times.
