	Sonic Youth English
		Sonic Youth learned much from Branca later, such as using alternate tunings and various non-conventional ways of playing to create their style of noise.
		Sonic Youth's second album, Bad Moon Rising (1985), was a result of a death obsession of the band's, specifically images of death in American culture.
		Sonic Youth, although not a traditional punk band, does have punk attributes and have been influenced by punk bands and genres.

	* Dusted Reviews - Sonic Youth *
		What makes Sonic Youth exceptional is that they have managed, over and over again, during the twenty-plus years of their existence, to produce unique, groundbreaking music that still manages to satisfy on baser, more primitive levels.
		Sonic Youth has referred to the album’s creation as “incorporating the textures of recent (overt) avant-garde explorations into a ragingly populist framework”, and this is as good a description as any for the music contained within Murray Street.
		Sonic Youth doesn’t confront any of this because they don’t need to, nor would they find it appropriate (I think) to try to make sense of any of this in their music.

	Sister by Sonic Youth CD
		Sonic Youth: Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo (vocals, guitar); Kim Gordon (vocals, bass); Steve Shelley (drums).
		With SISTER, Sonic Youth moved even further from the self-conscious punk rock that marred their first releases, SONIC YOUTH (1982) and CONFUSION IS SEX (1983).
		It possesses that old school sonic flavor that I, as a huge fan, love so much.

	village voice > news > Breaking Up Is Hard to Do by
		Amy Phillips's review of Sonic Youth's new album, Murray Street, in last week's issue, in which she proposed that the group break up, prompted a large reader response.
		First, the author criticizes Sonic Youth for changing their sound radically from what it was in 1995, and then for not changing their sound since 1986.
		Sonic Youth have become the Toto of art rock—which is pretty sad.

	TorrentBox.com - Torrent details for "Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation [1988]"
		By refining the song-oriented breakthroughs of Sister and developing their fascination with noise and alternate tunings, Sonic Youth created a masterpiece of post-punk art rock with the double-album Daydream Nation.
		Though the self-conscious sprawl of the album might appear self-indulgent on the surface, Daydream Nation is powered by a sustained vision, one that encapsulates all of the group's quirks and strengths.
		The essential New York rock band of the post-punk era, Sonic Youth care as much about the quasi-symphonic, microtonal art-guitar music of composers like Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca as they do about the rock-song form, and with Daydream Nation, they struck their greatest balance between the two.

	Sonic Youth: Sister ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Known primarily as a noisy, experimental, primal punk/art-rock band through the early 1980's, Sonic Youth finally hunkered down and set their minds on a far simpler task for this effort.
		From the album's first cut, "Schizophrenia," through its last, "White Cross," the course of this album moves with a fluid rhythm kept in time by syncopated harmony anchored by steady drumming.
		Though a staple for Sonic Youth, on this record they use the soft, warm sound as a base from which each of the song's emotions flower.

	Prindle Record Reviews - Sonic Youth
		The Sonic Youth were easily one of the most innovative and influential bands of the 80's, sort of a modern-day Velvet Underground, and this album is the best reason for that legacy.
		Sonic Youth's comments on pop culture, organized religion, politics, arena rock, street life, relationships, and child molesters, as poetic and Lou Reed-ish as they are, kinda get buried in their wash of warm fuzzy catchy guitar sound.
		Sonic Youth is also able to write songs with more than one dynamic, which is rare for a rock band.

		EVOL [+] was a major leap forward for Sonic Youth [+], but Sister [+] is a masterpiece, demonstrating the group's rapidly evolving musicality.
		More than ever before, Sonic Youth's songs sound like actual songs, and their collages of noise, distortion, and alternate tunings are now used to provide texture and depth to the music, which is original, complex and rewarding.
		Not only is there the full-throttle roar of "Tuff Gnarl," but there are shimmering layers of ambient harmonics and dissonance which are as haunting and challenging as any of their barrages of feedback.

	Sonic Youth: Dirty [Deluxe Edition] - PopMatters Music Review
		So, late last year, when it was announced that Sonic Youth would be getting the deluxe treatment, it was impossible not to get excited.
		Although Daydream Nation is easily their best album from that period, and of their career, the three other albums, 1987's Sister, 1990's Goo, and Dirty, while not quite as perfect at that one album, still rank as essential Sonic Youth recordings.
		Though many fans saw the album as a shallow attempt to break into the whole grunge movement, which was at its peak in 1992, the fact is, they were merely going back to playing more simple garage rock, while still maintaining their feedback-laced signature sound.

	Sonic Youth - Goo \| sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		From the release of DaydreamNation, Sonic Youth were praised by critics as a creative force to be reckoned with.
		They would never be commercially succesful if they continued to play in the style that they played, but Sonic Youth were, and always have been, a constantly evolving band.
		I don't have this album, but I heard it sold a bunch of copies so I figured it would be a bit poppy and an interesting comparison to "confusion is sex/kill yr.

		Whether the album as a whole will stand up as more than just a bunch of songs (which is where 2000's 'NYC G+F' fell down) will only become clear over time, but it's always good to see the Youth progressing along their own parallel path to popular culture.
		With Murray Street, Sonic Youth have sculpted their alternative tunings and dissonance into something that is simultaneously jangley and peaceful, dirty and beautiful.
		Sonic Youth are as important as any band around at the moment, they have been for the past two decades.

	Cooler Than You: Sonic Youth (column, discussion)
		Since most people still judge Sonic Youth's importance by what they did in the 80s, I suppose it's not surprising that this collection often falls by the wayside, but I think it's still a great collection of songs.
		Of course in retrospect, all those albums are great, and I love them all, but at the time it was really hard for me to get into them at all because of my love of early Sonic Youth.
		The album is still great though since you get what you want at the beginning, and then the filler at the end can be stopped whenever you get tired of it.

	The Rare Vinyl Network - Indie Music :: Sonic Youth
		Through their music and actions, Sonic Youth has tested all music boundaries and manipulated the rock industry in ways that display a punk experience in a nontraditional way.
		The album was very dark compared to early work, and was not received favorably by many critics, which helped to ostracize them from the New York hardcore scene.
		Sonic Youth used its influences to help new postpunk bands of the 1990s get record contracts from these labels, the most significant one being Nirvana's signing with Geffen records in 1991.

	Punknews.org \| Sonic Youth - Murray Street
		Murray Street is Sonic Youth’s first proper album since 2000’s boring NYC Ghosts & Flowers, and it finds the band as close to top form as they’ve been since they became grunge stars in the wake of Nirvana’s rise to fame in the early 90s.
		Thurston Moore’s voice sounds great throughout the album, and his work on the first half of the album is nearly on par with his mid to late 80s work.
		Sonic Youth has been around for a looonng time, and i think this ranks up their with their best.

	umusic.ca :: Sonic Youth
		Murray Street is (ostensibly) named after the location of Sonic Youth's studio, in which recording of this album began in August 2001.
		Murray Street is the first full Sonic Youth album to include the all-out collaboration (writing, playing, dancing and producing) of Jim O'Rourke.
		Like all Sonic Youth albums, it is a result of individuals striving in a collectivist environment for goals that are only understood once they are achieved.

		"Sister" was Sonic Youth's fifth album, and their second consecutive album with the same drummer performing on all tracks.
		It's on this track that Thurston and Kim first trade verses, and that's just one of several sonic firsts on this LP (also including use of acoustic guitar for melodic purposes, use of a Moog synthesizer, and the return of Thurston on bass for the first time since "Confusion Is Sex").
		The album was released in June (simultaneously on all formats) on SST in the US and Blast First in the UK (same as EVOL), at which point SY began their European tour, expanding the back repertoire a bit but primarily focusing on the new material (a pattern which SY have rarely strayed from).

		MacBeth II Sonic Youth's seventh album sort of originated with a long-running band joke involving SY's claim to one day cover the Beatles' White Album in its entirety -- somehow this project morphed into a twisted beatbox/sampler experiment masquerading as a tribute to Madonna...
		"Sonic Youth" were not credited on the release, instead each member was given a secret Ciccone codename (a hilarious NME gag "interview" gives these identities a life of their own).
		It is the Sonic Youths themselves who are this record, I have tried to relate my part in both fact and theory.

		Practically Sonic Youth concentrate, the disc manages to sound like a distillation of the band's career and a promise that they can keep doing this forever.
		I think this is a good album for those new to Sonic Youth and those who are old time fans.
		People not into this style of music may not appreciate Sonic Youth for who and what they are, and thats ok. Check it out and hope you like it.

		Although Sister is a masterpiece as a musicalal experimentation.
		Like Washing Machine, Goo, and the SYR EP's, this album is a collection of excellent experimental rock that is not only a snapshot of the band's carreer at that time; it is also a transitional record that documents the period between EVOL and the formation of Daydream Nation.
		Sister seems a concept album to me, always a good one to turn to when you feel nihilism or a slight twinge of madness/worshiping of false idols coming on.

		every sonic youth album has at least three songs that i really love and the rest is just okay or kind of boring to me.
		I think Sonic Youth are a group of artists that for me considering there output and back catalog will always provide me with discovering something new and different, future treasures on the horizon.
		Not sure what my favorite album is but right now I am diggin there recent music video dvd and can't wait for the much promised pre-dgc years dvd.

	Robert Christgau: Album: Sonic Youth: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Instead of distilling their weakness for experimental trash into noise-rock that sounds like a million bucks, they apply their skill at major-label compromise to their eternal propensity for experimental trash.
		After all this time, they know what they're doing when they fuck around, and their long-evolving rock and roll groove breaks down only when they have something better to do--there's nothing aleatory, accidental, or incompetent about it.
		Anyway, usually the groove holds; this is no Sister because it moves when it means to.

	Sonic Youth: EVOL ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Gordon and Moore reveal their obssession with morbid themes of death, murder and violence on haikus like "In the Kingdom #19" through detached, menacing oratory.
		The skeletal plucking of "Shadow of a Doubt," and the decidedly metallic "Green Light," with its furious whirl of guitar noise, explore the controlled chaos the band are capable of, but it's the singable bits than shine through and give the album its sonic adhesive.
		Once this style had been found and exhausted on Daydream Nation, Sonic Youth could comfortably begin to deconstruct these ideas with new-found conviction and produce more recent beauts like Experimental Jet-Set, Trash and No Star.

		Smith, whose seminal rock and roll album, Horses, was released in 1975, was presented with the prestigious insignia of Commander of the Order of the Arts and Letters by French Cultural Minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres at an AIDS benefit concert in Paris on Sunday, July 10.
		Smith, cited as an authentic rock and roll poet laureate, was praised by the French Cultural Ministry as "one of the most influential artists in women's rock 'n' roll." The citation also noted Smith's high profile appreciation of the 19th century French poet Arthur Rimbaud.
		Smith is currently at work on a new album, her second for Columbia Records and her first of cover songs.

	In Music We Trust - Outsight (December 2002)
		This music itself at times offers positively jarring sonic eruptions as on "The Perverse Implantation." The digital and acoustic music that frames these monologues and a sexual field recording with a prostitute mirrors the tenderness and the rudeness, the awkwardness and the naturalness of extra-border sexuality.
		This live album is the first album of all-new material to come from the German electronic pioneers in two years.
		This album is more of that - silence - than sounds as it really depends on the group's discipline and mutual reliance to construct a piece with more apertures and architecture.
