  • From the moment they started playing together in the early 80s, Sonic Youth blurred the line between punk and the avant-garde. When Sonic Youth began work on their fifth studio album, Daydream Nation, those two sides of the band’s identity collided, and they began making music that was more ambitious, and more vital, than anything they’d done before.

  • @harrisonmalone
    @harrisonmalone Před 6 lety +41

    It took me many repeated listens before I finally understood and loved this album. I assume that when people firstly discover Sonic Youth they play Teen Age Riot and Silver Rocket over and over. That’s what I did anyway 😂. I loved the Silver Rocket chord progression and how it felt kind of like like a Pixies song off Surfer Rosa.
    I wouldn’t listen to the other songs on the album for ages after this initial discovery. I just didn’t like how unorganised and long the songs on the rest of the album were. For some reason like six months later I came back to the album and discovered the other “catchy” songs like Candle, Hey Joni and Kissability. I was getting closer to appreciating the album as a whole.
    Then I left it for ages again... no listens until pretty recently where I decided to burn a copy of the album and have it in my car as a CD. And it was in the car where I finally “got it”. Repeated listens make the longer songs more memorable and once you have the tunes locked inside your head everything just becomes so much better.
    My advice, listen to the album on repeat in the car 😜. My favourite song is now Cross the Breeze. Seeing that live must be bloody nuts.
    Edit: spelling

Maybe #2. Okay, it's their best. After "Washing Machine" that is. Fuck it, it's their best album. I think. Maybe. I don't know.

    I have to agree that Sonic Youth are one of the greatest bands of all time , certainly one of my favourites , from the Bad Moon Rising LP up until the mid 90's they made some of the best music you'll ever hear , one thing I hate tho is Kim Gordon's vocals , all those songs that she ruined with her singing , songs that were musically fantastic and well written only to be spoiled by either her grunting , over exerted 'punk' style delivery or her more subdued and out of tune type delivery , either way it's like taking a razor blade to a great painting or scribbling over one with a marker pen . I understand that dischord and dissonance were an integral part of their overall sound and that's partly why I like them but there are good and bad ways of being dischordent or dissonant and Kim Gordon falls into the bad category . Listen to how good Lydia Lunch sounds on Death Valley 69 and imagine her in place of KG , I think it would have been a vast improvement overall . I would love to hear all the Sonic Youth songs that she sang on remixed either as instrumentals or with Thurston or Lee (or Lydia Lunch) doing the vocals . It's a crime for her to have ruined them in this way ..
