    Knowing all too well that the style of Sonic Youth is to just make experimental noise, I expected a 6 out of this record and that's what it is. Some songs flat out blow to me. Some songs are insanely catchy. But mostly, since some of them gave me a positive charge, it was worth the listen. They'll come up in playlists here and there. Worth nothing more, nothing less.

    Fans and casual enthusiasts will no doubt be bewildered by the extra experimental outings of an already daunting band--but for completists, this is the last word.

    Overall, worth a spin or two, but one hopes there's a better stash left to sample. [16 Dec 2006]

    Each track offers something worthwhile, yet none raises any question as to why it ended up here.
