And "the chicks" supported if i remember right or was that a dream.
Its been a steady decline in quality since the amazing "Murray st.". Sonic Nurse was kickin but had 2 skippers, Rather Ripped was ok, new one is just muck, no lovin any of it, nothing sticks. Ok there is 10 seconds of Sacred trickster at 1.37 in the video below but thats it and from one of my favourite bands ever. Well they had a good run at it anyways.

It's not their best unfortunately, but Antenna is a lovely song (chorus in particular) and Walkin Blue is one of Lee's best tunes in years imho. There's always at least a couple of good tunes on even the most disappointing SY record.

havent heard the new one yet, but im hoping that by december they'll be a little bored playing all the new ones and mix it up a bit more.

I wouldn't count on it, but hope springs Eternal. When SY are promoting a new record they're pretty business like about it. And you can probably go to see Goo in it's entirety somewhere next year, if ATP have anything to do with it.

anyone got any new opinions on the eternal?... i am liking it a lot, a lot...

I think it's one of their weaker records, myself. Anti Orgasm is a particular low point. But it has some great moments.

Yeah I'm liken abit more than 10 seconds now. Dido on the Lee song but it was about time in fairness. He hasnt done an unskippable song since "Karen Revisited" on Murray St.

It has a few decent tunes but it doesn't hold together as a full album. it's too long and too many of the classic sonic youth soundy parts sound like a band copying sonic youth instead of a new sonic youth album. the whole thing sounds to me like they wrote it while practicing for the goo atp. like goo but not as good, is that the most damning review here. Antena and walking blue are great though.
