Title: Another mediocre offering from an overrated band
Review: Perhaps no band represents the gap between poseurs of the alt-80's/90's and those who just like good music than Sonic Youth. The band takes a 25% kernal of passable melody and written piece; adds distortion and instrumental effects as filler for the other 75%, calls it an album and releases it. The poseur crowd and a few critics love it.The rest of us are out a $15 cd purchase.Be forewarned; they don't get better than this distortive semi-musical cd, it's actually the height of their creative output. Save your money and buy any Pixies or Pavement cd instead. Most of us work far too hard for our money to let it go to waste.
