The only thing preventing a 10 is that not all of the tracks are up to the high standard of standouts such as Pattern Recognition and Unmade Bed, namely Kim's songs about Mariah Carey and Dude Ranch Nurse. They're only good if you are in the mood for them. This cd, to me, is among SY's very best.

A surprisingly beautiful record. There's something in here that you'll find in the best of Sonic Youth's album. That something is their ability to make something sound beautiful and remain dangerous, never straining their sound or sounding like they're trying to hard. This ranks amongst their best.

there last few records have consentrated more on instremental parts then song structure(a chorus). this record captures those ideas but with strong choruses added to the mix. this might be the best hard rock record of the last ten years and definatlly their best album since daydream nation. check out stones and paper cup.

I never post stuff online, but i love this cd so much that i must emit my infatuation into the electro-abyss. This was my first sy album other than their contributions to the suburbia soundtrack, but now i have a bunch of them and this ranks with my other favorite, the creepily monochromatic "nyc ghosts and flowers". if you can find the japanese version of sonic nurse, risk life and limb to get it. the two extra instrumental tracks are as good as any of the rest, but with less conventional structures.

This was my favorite album of 2004. If you listen to Pattern Recognition and Unmade Bed, you'll find out why. The album as a whole rocks - and for these reasons - outstanding rhythm, guitar work, and lyrics. Kim Gordon rules!!
Kimmy H gave it a9:
This is such a listenable album. some favorite songs were "paper cup exit" and "stones", this is good driving music. and just good for a lot of things.
Jeff W gave it an 8:
In hindsight, I think this is better than Murray Street, at least I listen to it more. It sounds to me like a collision of Crazy Horse with (insert name of any 80's feedback act here).
