I think Contre is very good opener!!! I think it kind tuning you into right mood! Of course itīs not typical roc-album opener, but I think it is one reason I like it a lot!

And I listen always the whole album (I couldnīt imagine to listen only part of it, I think it is so great entity! But I very rare listen only part of the album, I do it almost only with compilations).

Yeah, for me this is a total 'album', rather than one where I tend to pick out certain songs. All the little different swirling 'unfinished' sounding bits are absolutely what make it one of their best. Like I think Heather Angel is a perfect example. What devides people into those who like Sunday/Wildflower Soul/Hits Of Sunshine/Karen Koltrane, but think the album is mixed, and those who adore the whole thing, is that the latter group will get to Heather Angel and just be like 'Yes! There is literally no better imaginable ending to this album that some whispy beautiful guitar scraps with Kim floating around them that suddenly turns into a broken sounding righteous jam and then just ENDS.' I'm very happy to fall into the latter camp.

First times I listened Heather Angel I didnīt know what to think about it. To me it sounded that they couldnīt carry on to be serious anymore and they started to play like children (in the end of the song). Now I like it a lot. Maybe I was too serius guy earlier! |

Yes, I love the whole Washing Machine and also Thousand leaves a lot already in the beginning! But there wasnīt that big changes on the middle of song before Heather Angel, that was my point. And that end part is kind of " we just play, no matter what it sounds" ![]() |

I always hated how they cut out part of the noise sequence in the Sunday video - right after the ballerinas, when Culkin takes off his hat.

I agree with this completely, and I was having just such an epiphany the last time I was listening to this record which is why I brought this thread back up in the first place.

The only Sonic Youth album I still (and have since I discovered in circa '99) listen to on a regular basis. They really nailed it on that one.

I wish SY were one of those bands that releases a live album after every tour because a live record from this tour would be my favorite thing ever. As it stands, good album.

Like Iron Maiden does (almost). That's a good idea...... I wish Maiden would have done one after the Matter Of Life And Death tour I felt those were the strongest songs since they got back to the original lineup + Janick........ |

This is why, particularly in the post-Washing Machine era I have consistently compared live sonic youth with the grateful dead. SY tapers where are you?

Did I post in this thread?
Fuckin', A Thousand Leaves is my favourite Sonic youth album, and Kim, especially, is at her peak on this. She is like Macca on Revolver here. And fuck you all, Contre Le Sexisme is a Masterpiece.

Contre is one of the best introductions to an album I've ever heard... really theatrical!
