I’ve got to be missing something…….
Sonic Youth – Dirty – 1992 (Amazon – iTunes)
I do admit, from the opening strains of 100 Percent, it really feels like Sonic Youth has traveled well afar from their noise-only early days. Then the most amazing thing happened.
I woke up.
And the record was over.
Sonic Youth puts me to sleep. It’s just white noise after a while.
Honestly, I had to go back and remind myself of what I was listening to.
And if I never have to listen to “Why are you so meano” on Swimsuit Issue I will be just fine thank you.
Grade D
A Side: 100 Percent, Purr
BlindSide: Nothing. It’s everything one would expect from the masters of atonal noise rock.
DownSide: Swimsuit Issue…well, anything that Kim Gordon is singing on on this piece of atonal crap.
