Who wrote that nonsense??? :-D

better watt for me...

not quite all of it, come on... :-)

but less compared to daydream...and anyway, I like the melodies of daydream more...in any case, beyond the discussions about style, what doesn't convince me about SY is their intellectualism, their coldness, their detachment, their arrogance, all things that make them distant from the adolescent universe of many of their more genuine and inspired contemporaries, capable of exploring the different aspects of adolescence: not only the emotional fragility (the schools of Minneapolis and Boston), but also the audacity, the ability to dare, the courage to touch unprecedented themes, to propose something that truly breaks with moral and aesthetic conventions (Chicago, Austin).

"I think Sonic Youth were more developers than inventors" <<< there's no arguing with this: the SY are the epitome of noise-rock, but that doesn't mean they invented it...

evol is really one of those that I like the least.

there's no point in starting discussions based on the nonsense shot out by some idiot online (or made up by some jerk to sow discord)

I've never understood this connection VU-->Television-->SY... the Television did everything but noise... Verlaine's touch was rough, yet clear... @ Festwka: quite simply, Daydream Nation contains more beautiful songs compared to the others (which make me feel like two balloons)... there's more emotion, more melody, and above all more pathos (almost completely absent in the previous SY records)... it's the least annoying record from one of the most annoying bands of all time... Kim Gordon (in my opinion the worst singer that the 80s indie scene can remember) finally puts aside her arrogance and unavailability for a moment and at least tries to let go in the desperate screams of "Cross the Breeze"... then there’s finally a decent rhythm section (thanks to Shelley; Bert was more imaginative but not very integrable with the rest of the band, so much so that he found his consecration with Pussy Galore, a band very different from SY).

"after the lethal hibernation of the brains of the '80s" <<< huh?

exactly lux: the other SY albums don't really do it for me...
