Sonic Youth - The Eternal

Sonic youth have a new album, Sonic youth have a new album, Sonic youth have a new album, Sonic youth have a new album, Sonic youth have a new album, Sonic youth have a new album. Did you know sonic youth have a new album?? well it's probably not that new anymore but anyway it's been three years since their last release Rather Ripped which was awe-some ( said with zach braff style high intonation on the 'awe' ) I'm not sure if this album has yet reached the heights of a braffish style complement, but it's certainly up there. Reviews will tell you that the albums highlights are the rocky, punky, so sonic youth it hurts songs such as openers 'Sacred Trickster' and 'Anti-Orgasm', but thats a sonic youth so overdone that Kim Gordon's voice starts to grate, and you really do see them as 50 year olds trying to pretend they're teenagers. The real goodstuff comes when they forget about making a slogan song, and just concentrate on the music. 'What we know' and 'poison arrow' will make you think it's 1992 again. Although maybe someone can explain to me why track 3 'Leaky Lifeboat' has a near exact intro to 1998's 'Sunday'. Maybe i'm missing the meaning behind the reference
