[Paranoid Android]

I've really been getting into this album over the past week, i always thought it was good but now it's probably in my top 3 SY albums, it's brilliant. What does everyone else think of it and how do htey rate it against other SY albums.

[tranzmute]

I really like it as well. post 9/11 effect is evident. Its pretty mellow in parts. plastic sun is one of my alltime fave tracks.

I havnt listened to it in a while. I had it on constantly about two years ago but I would say its mayb my least fave sonic youth album. I rate 1000 leaves and experimental jetset....as two of the best

but theya re all ace in my opinion

Yeh I love this album- got me into Sonic Youth.

Can't really rate in comparison to their other albums it as I only have 2 other SY albums('Confusion Is Sex' and 'Screaming Fields Of Sonic Love') both of which are more darker and more punky than Murray Street.

Murray Street is certainly one of my favourite albums to chill out to. 'The Empty Page' or 'Plastic Sun' Is my favourite.

1000 leaves is one of the few i dont have, experimental jetset.. has never bee none of my favourites, my top 3 just now would probaly be Daydream nation, murray street and evol. But as oyu say, they're all ace.

"daydream nation" & "sister" are the best SY albums by far.

In fact, take "goo" and "dirty" into the equation & it shows the late 80s / early 90s to be SY's creative peak.

Yeah i think Evol to Dirty is their best period, five great albums in a row, but i also think the two newest albums are up there in terms of quality and you never know they could have just started another great period.

Murray street really grew on me but i haven't listened to it in ages... You can see them mellowing out from 1000 leaves, thru Murray st and then onto Sonic Nurse.

Goo and Washing Machine are my favourite SY albums.

[Laxton's Superb]

mine is probably Washing Machine, with Daydream Nation a close second....i dont own Murray Street though.

[get lost]

Goo and Dirty are my favs, I think, clean productions gives them a bit of clarity over some of their other work.

Sister all the way for me. Then again sonic youth have always been a very good band
