i'm liking it. it's super straight and normal, stripped
down. very nice sonic pensioners.

cidar in a field soon.

Is it available in shops yet? I've been to a few over here
and they all say it's not released until 30 June.
Sonicyouth.com says it's been out since Tuesday, though :/

IMO, it's not better than the excellent "Sonic Nurse" or
"Murray Street" - too many of the new tracks are a bit too
simple and without depth. "Reena", "Rats"(the best of them
all) and some of the others are great though.

I miss Jim O'rourkes production and mixing a lot - the last
three albums were all full of great songs with really good
sound/mixing/production. (me coming from electronic music, I
liked the equal balance between all instruments in Jims
mixes - drums were as important as the guitars.)

reena is great.
the rest is good too, it's a good album, but i'm kind of
frustrated with their latest sound; very mellow, very happy,
very self-assured, too much of those three for me. i barely
listen to 'sonic nurse' anymore and i don't think i'll buy
'rather ripped'... since it leaked i have only listened to
it once in its entirety.

i think alot of the noiser direction is being channeled into
SYR and various side projects and improv stuff. this months
wire article on them notes that the album was done really
quickly, like 2 weeks or something which would explain why
it's so immediate. i know their geffen contract is up for
renewal too which might be a cynical reason for such a
digestable album but i think it's a nice change. as for jim
o rourke, i reckon he's on far too many albums already
anyway.

ugh... i am so glad o'rourke is gone. it's like they were
taking a nap since murray street and now they're awake
again. this is their best album since a thousand leaves, by
far. i was so bored with those long-winded mellow songs.
