My feelings exactly. I've always "kind of liked" RR, it's just that "kind of like" is a big let down where Sonic Youth is concerned. I've felt that way about 3-4 albums and SYR 5, otherwise it's always been LOVE.

rather ripped is awful.

greedrex · 06.08.2008, 02:52 AM

rather ripped is.....
a decent LP that i like
i listen to it relativeley often and i think it is sort of fresh-sounding
still it is well inferior to any other SY LP
this we all agree on

Rather Ripped is cool, crystal clean guitars. I agree that 'Sleepin' Around' and 'Lights Out' are terrible, but its definitely has its merits.

Same here, I got it the day it came out, but I don't remember why.
It was my first exposure to them.

Is it bad that those were some of my favorites on the album when I first got it XD?

Sleepin' Around is still my favourite, after Rats..

deadair... i dont consider syr5 "a sonic youth album."

SonicBebs · 06.08.2008, 04:21 PM

sometimes i like the 'clean crisp' guitar sound, sometimes it sounds fresh.

sometimes i think its the begining of the end

SonicBebs · 06.08.2008, 04:23 PM

fucking awful album title though

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.08.2008, 04:32 PM

Well, it's the only Sy album I stopped listening to regularly after a month.

Everyneurotic · 06.08.2008, 07:42 PM

no, it still sucks.

thank goodness they are doing syrs again; 7 is very awesome, can't wait for 8.

Well you shouldn't, it isn't Sonic Youth. However, it's the only SYR that isn't them, so it's worth noting.

Pax Americana · 06.08.2008, 09:06 PM

RR is my least favorite Sonic Youth album. That said, there's a couple songs on there that I can dig. But mostly I avoid this album like the plague.

Sonic Youth 37 · 06.08.2008, 09:09 PM

Aside from Thurston hopping around when they play Incinerate live and "Or", this album is just shy of meh.

does helen lundeberg count? i love that song.

Malcolm81 · 06.09.2008, 04:11 AM

I like Rather Ripped. It took me a year to get into it because it wasn't what I expected from them, but it's a good album. But I agree, Lights Out is terrible.

_slavo_ · 06.09.2008, 04:26 AM

I listened to it only about 15 times whatsoever. And have no intention to do that again. No good.

atsonicpark · 06.09.2008, 04:28 AM

there's a decent bass line in one section of one song for about one nanosecond.
