	* 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.

	EvilSponge: Album: Murray Street by Sonic Youth
		Sonic Youth are a sort of dividing line -- either you are with them or you are against them.
		The answer, surprisingly, is that Sonic Youth have released what might be the best mellow album of their career.
		Specifically there is a screensaver, and a link to a hidden page on Sonic Youth's website wherein album owners can download a few b-sides and a whole series of high-res images of the band.

		Sonic Youth is an experimental music band that started in the early 1980s.
		At first greatly inspired by the noise experimentation of Glenn Branca as well as the heavy acid-rock of The Stooges, they were known for using a variety of tunings for their guitars, and for applying screwdrivers under the strings to achieve microtonal drone sounds.
		Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon's long-term marriage was seen by certain members of Generation X as a model of stable family life not based on either the "family values" of adherents of Ronald Reagan, nor on whatever unsuccessful things their parents had tried in the 1960s and 1970s.

		It is a sad day for music when someone who claims to love Sonic Youth (I know, I know, she thanked them in her yearbook; it's precious beyond belief) also mentions "suffering" through SY's side projects and B-sides.
		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.
		I'd hate to think there might be readers who'd be dissuaded from supporting the work Sonic Youth is currently doing because this reviewer can't get her nut from their records now like she used to in high school.

	The new Sonic Youth album. By Hua Hsu - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Avid pack rats, they pieced together alternate histories from record albums (their band name mashed together two touchstones: Sonic referred to MC5 guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, while Youth was a tribute to Jamaican DJ Big Youth), fanzines, and casual scans of the nightly news.
		Sonic Youth's own label, SYR, has become their clearinghouse for the band's more out-there experiments.
		Last week, Sonic Youth began their umpteenth tour with a sold-out show at CBGB, the Manhattan club as legendary as it is tiny.

	* Dusted Reviews - Sonic Youth *
		Sonic Youth is a remarkably difficult band to cover.
		Sonic Youth is finally content to be Sonic Youth, and this album proves that they've once again figured out their formula.
		Whatever the realm of their inspiration, they are still indelibly Sonic Youth, and deserving of the significance that comes with it.

		Sonic Youth's new album, Murray Street, released June 25th, is one of those sacred cows.
		The album is named after the location of the studio close to the previous site of the World Trade Center.

	Sonic Youth: Washing Machine ---Ink Blot Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Sonic Youth rose triumphantly out of New York's early 80s No-Wave scene.
		Originally fueled by the ripping guitar of Glenn Branca alumns Ranaldo and Moore, Sonic Youth grew into - and maintain their stature as - a rock 'n' roll aural-experimentation unit beyond compare.
		Subsequent albums and tours have served to bolster the band's popularity, even when not establishing any new plateaus of creativity.

	Sonic Youth Album Reviews
		They were and still are extremely influential; not only because of the genre they helped to create and expand, but because of their attitude and their methods of operation, not to forget the fact that Kim Gordon contributed to the re-thinking of the position of women in rock.
		The Sonic Youth album (only because the band always insisted it wasn't an EP) is rather tame compared to their later, more adventurous albums, but the seeds of their experimentalism, the ventures into dissonance and off-kilter guitar harmonies are already there.
		Like many of their other releases, Sonic Youth can be rather self-indulgent (or boring), but it's nevertheless interesting to hear them mess around with alternate tunings and repetitive structures.

		Sonic Youth have managed to re-define themselves with Murray Street.
		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: Sonic Nurse - PopMatters Music Review
		Instead of stepping further into the experimental abyss and embracing their early idols, DNA and Glen Branca, Sonic Youth have become introspective, delving deeper into the structures and themes sketched on albums early in their career.
		Many bands that were peers of Sonic Youth, or were influenced to form by them, are on reunion tours this summer.
		Sonic Nurse finds them embracing and sifting through the finer moments of their past over the course of 10 outstanding tracks.

	Sonic Youth 'Sonic Nurse'
		In any other industry, Sonic Youth would’ve received their gold watches and been put out to pasture by now.
		The second aspect of this mighty return to form is Sonic Youth’s ability to draw inspiration from themselves for, if anything, ‘Sonic Nurse’ harks back to the ‘Goo’ and ‘Dirty’ albums of the early 90s with a healthy side order of 1988’s ‘Daydream Nation’.
		If this sounds as if Sonic Youth are mellowing out in their old age, then fear not.

		Sonic Youth's career continued with the highly impressive Sister, followed in 1988 by Daydream Nation, a double set that allowed the band to expand themes when required.
		In 1990, Sonic Youth left the independent circuit by signing with Geffen Records, going on to establish a reputation as godfathers to the alternative US rock scene with powerful albums such as Goo, Dirty and A Thousand Leaves.
		In keeping with Sonic Youth's legendary reputation, Thurston Moore was instrumental in the signing of Nirvana to the Geffen label, while Kim Gordon was similarly pivotal in the formation of Hole.

		Its as if Sonic Youth were there with me on my journey peering into the darkness/abyss and describing it and guiding me. This album continues to surprise me, noone else will ever come close to this sound.
		The lyrics of this album are essential to this album because at times they seem innocent and unfamiliar and at other time they seem sinful and deviant.
		This album is one of the best sonic youth album...I advise everyone to listen this album...Break the circle of common popular music...This album irritates your soul and freedback your dreams...

	Dirty by Sonic Youth CD
		Sonic Youth's second major-label album, produced and mixed by Butch Vig and Andy Wallace (a team that had helped turn Nirvana's NEVERMIND multi-platinum) was not the barefaced bid for mainstream acceptance that surly underground souls grumbled about in the pages of fanzines.
		However, the rest of the selections are SO unlistenable and just plain crappy that the album suffers for it - I think a retarded chimp on LSD could have done a better job writing some of these "songs." Brings "hit or miss" to a whole new level, but the good songs really are pretty tight.
		Sonic Youth seem more concerned with "art" and "reputation" than with actually producing quality sound, but this album is the exception, and certainly their best ever.

	Drowned in Sound - Reviews - Album - Sonic Youth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Sonic Youth have always been Neil Young’s far-out, No Wave cousins anyhoo, and ‘Nurse’, without ever, no, not ever suggesting middle-age spread and pot roast, is an expansive study into a pop-culture in effect as a demonstrative exposition of shiny-sequinned sexual vacuity, presidential warpigs, surrealist moderninity and your fake idols, come gently.
		Sonic Youth desire to conduct the oceans of sound they extricate from our surrounds as demi-neptunes with guitars as tridents pushing and pulling at the tides, drifts and channels, a reflection of the humming continuum of urban life, banality at the subway loaded with celaxa pills and starched shirts.
		I've liked Sonic Youth for less than a year, and I've heard almost all of their albums in that small space of time (me and my friend completely obsess over them).

	Sonic Youth
		Don't think of Sonic Youth as technique-less flash-in-the-pan dorks who didn't play virtuoso instrumental passages because they could not play them; stuff like 'Inhuman' is enough to qualm all the naysayers.
		Once again, it's pretty hard to tell if Sonic Youth were doing anything particularly groundbreaking on this album; most probably not, because there'd been a huge prehistory of various weird guys using echo, distortion, chaos, and droning as either 'basis' or 'environment' for bunches of normal songs.
		It's a bold album (well, all SY records to a certain extent are), with enough catchiness and funny little melodic and atmospheric ideas and all.

		With all these big corporate labels going on about how they are "protecting" their artists by blocking the band names on Napster, it's nice to actually come across a group that skirts around this bullshit.
		Sonic Youth of course have tons of releases that are on independant labels including their own SYR, but Geffen has the rights to the big records, so they blocked the name on Napster and you can't download anything including indie and live tracks.
		I put together a great "album" from these that I cannot stop listening to and burned it to cd.

		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").
		This is also the only Sonic Youth album (well, until NYC Ghosts & Flowers, but that's another story) that didn't have a proper single release, though a video clip for "Beauty Lies In The Eye" was filmed.
		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).

		Inspired by the New York art scene, Sonic Youth bludgeoned their way into the rock and roll world courtesy of SST Records, which handled all their material up to "Goo", which is now considered an alt-rock classic.
		Sonic Youth specialize in a peculiar blend of detuned and unconventionally tuned guitars, swirling in feedback, distortion and volume.
		I'm a big SY fan, but this wasn't one of the first albums of theirs i got, thinking it to be overhyped and perhaps too overly commercial, if that was possible.

		Sonic Youth still excel at balancing pop's mainstream/underground dualism because they've always been enthusiastic about both sides of the equation.
		Sonic Nurse feels more casual and poppier than Murray Street, which was a classic-rock yang to the experimental yin of 2000's NYC Ghosts and Flowers.
		Sonic Youth have always had an ear for dynamics, but it's hard to imagine a time before Sonic Nurse when they could inject more tension into a song by slowing down and dropping certain instruments out (as they do with the Gordon-sung "I Love You Golden Blue") than by doing the opposite.

	Sonic Youth 'Nurses' New Album
		According to a source, the record makes further inroads into the classic-rock sounds Sonic Youth explored on "Murray Street," which was recorded in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
		Sonic Youth has a handful of tour dates on the horizon, including a March 16 appearance at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, and a previously announced benefit concert April 30 at Smith College in Northampton, Mass.
		As previously reported, the group is continuing work on its SYR series of experimental LP releases, with the next edition set to include a recording from the 2001 All Tomorrow's Parties fest.

	best sonic youth album? - @forums
		We have asked repeatedly that old threads not be bumped, but it seems as if you cannot abide by such a simple request, so we are abiding by the request for you.
		Close runner's up are Daydream Nation (though I feel there is some filler on the album), Sister (my first SOnic Youth album, still the one I listen to most other than Dirty), Evol (2Step, you forgot the brilliant Tom Violence!), Goo (also classic) and Washing Machine (too many great tracks to name).
		The album I never really got into was Experimental..., it's the favorite amongst my friends, but I'm not too keen on it, with the exception of a few stand-out tracks.

	DOA - Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse
		Whilst it’s true that Sonic Youth has certainly had its fare share of mid-life creative crises of late - with 2000’s NYC Ghosts and Flowers being the notorious nadir - the foursome (now plus the ubiquitous Jim O’Rourke) has still done a lot of good for the sake of art-rock kind.
		In short, although the patience of any stalwart Sonic Youth fan may have been tested to breaking point, the perseverance involved in being a habitual collector of the group’s work means a scattering of lost jewels always lie within the CD and vinyl shelves.
		Gliding in from an ambient intro (which suggests that relative Youth ‘rookie’ O’Rourke is finally bringing something to the table), Gordon retraces her steps to the elegiac otherworldliness of “Shadow of a Doubt” (Evol) and “Little Trouble Girl (from 1995’sWashing Machine).
