Negative Positive
Title: Wish Fulfillment
Review: This is an album full of different styles of songs, using three vocalists, and provoking a wide range of emotions.Most of the songs are just outright exciting, full of fast, loud guitars with weird tunings, and with vocals that perfectly fit the music.There is more than just noise in these songs though, with some showing a delicate and intricate structure, such as Theresa's Sound-world and the haunting beauty of Lee's vocals on Wish Fulfillment.Both of those transport me to a different world full of wonder and mysticism.There are tracks that grab you, and make you want to join in despite yourself, Drunken Butterfly and Chapel Hill being fine examples, and more traditional rock efforts such as Sugar Kane with its Stones inspired riff.Whatever mood I am in, this album has something to fit it, and I always regret that it ends after 59 minutes.There are so many great Sonic Youth albums that it seems a crime to pick a favorite, but if I were pushed, I would choose Dirty.
