TejasPoker.com - Daydream Nation - Poker Shop Daydream Nation is the culmination of a band whose fortre was the reproduction of deafening noise ala David Lynch themetunes, and 4 albums on progressively applying this to a more melodic and streamlined pop structure. Daydream Nation is self consciously cool, arty and damned right sexy, in being so it is a masterpiece that so far has not been bettered and i can not foresee that happening in the near future. Daydream Nation is the finest album from (arguably) the greatest innovators in pop music since the Beatles. www.tejaspoker.com /poker-store/page-uk_p56_46_B000003TAL.html   (652 words)

Amazon.ca: Music: Daydream Nation "Daydream Nation" begins with the most accessible song Sonic Youth recorded in the 80's, the sonorous "Teen Age Riot." Laced with multiple hooks and affecting lyrics, the opener is this album's guidepost, presenting listeners with a caricature of the band's principal innovation: the combination of melody and instrumentation with fury and disorganization. In essence, it's unquestionable that "Daydream Nation" is a definitive must-have milestone...it was the future of rock in 1988, and today it remains as relevant and fresh as ever. However, even today each of these respectable records pale in comparison to the band's 1988 masterpiece, "Daydream Nation." It might be the case that "Sister" and "EVOL" would stand alone as magnificent, influential albums if it were not for this release, but after one experiences "Daydream Nation"'s excellence, the former appear almost insignificant. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000003TAL   (1156 words)

sonic.html Daydream Nation is Sonic Youth's first double album, their first album on a major label, and their most serious and accessible album to date (it may even be their best, I can't say yet). Because of its length and range, Daydream Nation its not as consistent as Evol, or even Sister, but not every album has to be a concept album, and Daydream Nation still holds together better than most. Their noise is a beautiful tangle of thick transparent weight, a green light, a skinny arm, an iron butterfly, a dream cereal, and ultimately something that I can't very well describe. www.lab404.com /dreams/words/reviews/sonic.html   (610 words)

Elephant Stone Records Daydream Nation seem to be extolling the concept that the opposite of love is indifference, reverbed to the max, looming in and out of a penumbra of fuzz. Daydream Nation obviously don’t give a fig or they’re a bit mental ‘cos then they go and compound the ‘error’ by calling a song on their eponymous debut album, ‘Swastika Eyes’. Di Daydream Nation dicemmo in occasione dell’eponimo debutto e con piacere verifichiamo che anche l’odierno “Bella Vendetta” persegue sia pur solo inizialmente scie shoegazing anche se con l’imperto ed il vigore, con vibrazioni acide, che in quelle stagioni fu specifica peculiarità di Swervedriver. www.elephantstonerecords.com /daydream_reviews.html   (4113 words)

Sonic Youth Site Menu Daydream Nation marked the good vibes of pop-culture and music as well as the bad ones, named the misery of the situation, named the methods of breaking into that apathy. With Daydream Nation you will witness the surfacing of the almost ancient stains next to the points of novelty to be asked again "are you experienced?" and to gain experience through experience. "Daydream Nation" was released in October (on Enigma in the US, and Blast First once again overseas), followed by a North American tour that finished in early December. www.sonicyouth.com /mustang/lp/lp6.html   (2197 words)

ToxicUniverse.com - Sonic Youth - 1988 - Daydream Nation Music Review So I bought Daydream Nation, along with Metallica's Master of Puppets, cuz I was big into metal, and they were still metal, and I now realize that there was a whole lot of the heavy in Sonic Youth too around this time. Daydream Nation, aside from Quadrophenia, was the first all-out punk-rock-opera-cum-conceptual masterpiece (as far as I know). I opened it up, Daydream Nation; I stared deep into that mysterious single candle on the cover, and I popped the tape into my tiny cassette recorder—all silver and '70s with a little grille covering the speaker. www.toxicuniverse.com /review.php?rid=10001251   (1022 words)

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth CD DAYDREAM NATION, with its sleepy single candle flickering silently on the gatefold cover, harnessed their reckless live favourite, "Teenage Riot," while they ran gloriously roughshod over "Rain King" and "Silver Rocket," and offered the overtly camp glee of "Trilogy," which came with parts a, b and c. Daydream Nation is a long, rambling, noisy, distorted, whispered, screamed exploration of all that is good and bad about contemporary music. The lyrics tell of complicated, multilayered issues that seem built for a concept album, but Daydream Nation was too big to be confined by any one concept. www.cduniverse.com /search/xx/music/pid/1158639/a/Daydream+Nation.htm   (698 words)

Nude as the News: Sonic Youth: Daydream Nation Daydream Nation, as asserted in the title, is about the universal. Not only because they rock like fuck, but also because rather than being measured attempts at "breaking through" to a larger audience, the catchy songs on Daydream Nation are part of a larger act of intellectual subversion, an anti-Reagan, pro-art, pro-noise, pro-indie rock broadside that's less a concept album than an hour-plus anthem. That's most so because even though lyrics take more of a prominence on Daydream Nation than anywhere else in Sonic Youth's catalog, it's still the music left to make the major statements. www.nudeasthenews.com /reviews/161   (578 words)

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation. Review by Austen Zuege Daydream Nation is so thoroughly integrated it is difficult to pick out individual songs from the flow.

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Daydream Nation - Sonic Youth at Epinions.com Subsequent releases Sister (1987) and Daydream Nation each were awarded an increasing amount of attention with the latter commonly recognized as the New York band’s career touchstone. The joy I get out of Daydream Nation and Sonic Youth may or may not be a result of my early 1990’s rock roots. Sister was lauded by Rolling Stone and other music publications while Daydream Nation gave the band their first bona fide radio hit, Teenage Riot. www.epinions.com /content_76463902340   (981 words)

3hive: Daydream Nation Daydream Nation is actually a Canadian duo doing their own thing, which is a mysterious combination of Brit pop from the '60s invasion and the '90s revival influenced by other notable Brits like the Cure and Swervedriver, although their sound is not as "shoegazer" as they and others would lead you believe. No, this ain't the sixth album from Sonic Youth released in October 1988 getting its own entry here on 3hive, and it's not a Sonic Youth cover band. www.3hive.com /archives/2005/01/15/daydream_nation.html   (259 words)

Pitchfork: Top 100 Albums of the 1980s Daydream Nation was a noisy punctuation mark to the evolution of sub-radar rock in the Reagan years, and as long as people are still listening to guitars, it will remain a milestone. But really, the reason I like Daydream Nation better than anything else spawned between 1980-89 is that, hell, it's just the greatest fucking album. The unrelenting momentum of Chuck's radical rhetoric was matched pound-for-pound by The Bomb Squad's dense, revolutionary soundghettos; while Flav (who repped both big clocks and crack rocks) did his gyrating dance around armed Black Panther rejects, making Public Enemy possibly the finest example of Hip-Hop Theater, ever. pitchforkmedia.com /top/80s/index10.shtml   (1531 words)

Sonic Youth: Daydream Nation ---Ink Blot Magazine In 1988 Sonic Youth released Daydream Nation, a double-album that spreads itself across a musical landscape as vast and pacific as jazz, and as energetic as punk rock.

Muso's Guide Online Magazine & Music Guide Written, recorded and played by front man Pat Vaz, Daydream Nation's music simply seems too run of the mill for audiences to take much heed as their fuzzy vinyl sound drips from the speakers like molasses, draining all energy from its listener. With the release of their self titled debut album, Daydream Nation weakly launches themselves into the mainstream pond, but until this band picks up the energy, it seems like they may sink. The eponymous album is released through the small Elephant Stone Records but until Daydream Nation overhauls their sound, this band is sure to not be a big score for the label. www.yetmore.asp-host.co.uk /muso/reviews_album_dn_dn.htm   (230 words)
