They seem like a band that would be able to continue on, will probably depend on how their gigs in South America go cause they didn't cancel them

Sonic Youth don't really have much left to do... they've been trading off tepid to weak albums for some time now. In this situation, a band can go on forever if the live show is still cutting it and I've no doubt they still spin SY magic when they can be bothered... this wasn't the case the last time they played in Dublin. These bands were never meant to go on forever... or even this long...

great live band, but ... I'd bet it's all over..

the eternal was the first weak album they'd released in over a decade.

Rather Ripped was terrible and Nurse wasnt up to much either. Theyve had bad albums before those though so they could come up with a good one again. I'd probably still go see them as theyre fun live, i enjoyed the vicar st gig despite the mediocre songs. Thurston said something recently about them getting a bit too comfortable lately, or something like that.

Ah and so it goes... the nitpicking of SY's past 10 years continues.

ITS WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR

 

[Goodbye]

ah... its as boring as the mac vs pc debate

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Yeah but people who like a band like to discuss their albums, theres no need to tell them theyre boring.

Absolute bollox.

I say not bollox. Spot on in fact. I don't think any of their recent records are bad, or that they have destroyed their legacy, but I don't see any of them adding in any way to what they have already done. New Sonic Youth albums are not unwelcome to me but I don't look forward to them with any excitement. I'm glad they have not embarrassed themselves by releasing shite in the later stages of their career and I will be sad if I never get to see them live again, but if they do decide to pack it in (I can't really see it being otherwise) I think they will be doing the right thing.

Apologies for boring you Ian. Maybe you could go and read a book or something?

This man has saved me the job of summing up my feelings on the matter.

I find the subject boring... you guys though, you guys are all right

BAD AREA

Agree on Rather Ripped but not Nurse - love that record

 

[washingcattle]

Nurse is great. I think there's bonus songs on my copy of Rather Ripped and the bonus songs are better than the album.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Its cool the way Kim became a good singer in recent times. the better she got the worse the band became

 

[Unknown Convict]

Kim became a good singer in recent times

really? large part of why i don't know their last 4/5 albums.
