[@ambientfairchild]

the beauty of the "intro" guitar channeling and driving the beautiful dirty dangerous glamorous edgy urban romance of nyc in the 80s and then the orgasmic explosion of brave men run bursting over the the outro of intro, one of the greatest alt rock moments ever, thank you sonic youth for making our inner lives so exciting xxx

[@OscarLopez-gw3jx]

The intro still gives me goosebumps

[@GamRNightwing]

The album cover reminds me of that feeling you get after you've stayed up for too long and the sun is starting to rise. Kinda mind fucks you, lol

[@Spitson7771]

for me its the opposite, I always get the vibe of the sunset and standing near some sort of farm and a cornfield.

[@DEE_EXX]

Makes me think of children of the corn...that might have been the vibe they were going for

[@gumption5089]

Reading this currently in that exact position, the stars have aligned

[@craigg5410]

I hate that feeling as it's always drug induced 🤢

[@mrscat6234]

everyone hypes sister and daydream nation but this album is utterly fantastic.

[@tracksuitjim]

theyre good, but this, confusion/idols, washing machine, evol, those are the real crazy genius ones for me. and there's so much other stuff everybody always forgets like the SYR's

[@martinbramah2224]

Daydream Nation is probably their best, its reputation is fully deserved. An amazing arc of songs that deserve to be heard in order but also amazing to hear individually (MOST of the tracks, at least). Hell, they're ALL pretty impressive in their own way, but as of today I'd rank 'em as 1. Daydream, 2. EVOL, 3. Sister and BMR (tie!) 4. Confusion/Idols 5. Goo and s/t debut EP (tie) 6. and then everything else, w/ Dirty, Nurse, R Ripped, and Spinhead among the best of those.... EJSTN&No Star has a few really killer tracks, too.

[@Triangulove]

@@martinbramah2224 That's a generalized statement though in my opinion since these two albums represent two different bands almost. The sound on Bad Moon is nothing like the sound on DDN. This is creative, experimental indi and that one is basically punk alternative. All you're really saying is there's more fans of that type of music than this type of music. Which is fair to say.

[@mar15115]

Cant really compare their albums because the albums are so diffrent from each other. Its a matter of personal taste really(My favourite from theirs is goo). And daydream nation just seems to be the major favourite

[@dragmio]

@@martinbramah2224 Daydream Nation is the closest to mainstream of all their albums. So it's farthest away from the very essence of Sonic Youth. The fact that you consider it their best only shows you should really go listen to something else.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

In January of 1986 I got this album and Big Black's "Atomizer". Both absolutely ripped my head off and still do.

[@andywells4455]

yeah second that..Both on Homestead too. Struggled when punk went quiet, but SY, Big Black, Buttholes filled a void.

Back in 1992, wintertime in Western Pennsylvania. Dean, Tom and I are sitting in the cab of my pickup truck, parked in front of a covered bridge, smoking a joint. Dean pulls this cassette out of his coat and pops it in the tape deck. That was a very intense buzz.

To me this Is a masterpiece of Sonic Youth!

[@canItouch]

Their most fucked up - and best - album of them all, by a country mile. Brings back so many stoned teenage memories. I Love Her All the Time is one of the greatest recordings of all time

[@Revealingstorm.]

My favorite Sonic Youth album. Bangers from start to finish

[@rexozone]

so glad I discovered Sonic Youth in my sixties. it sorts out a lot of shit

[@MrGethsemane]

Seeing chill old dudes like you always helps to relive my anxiety about aging. Thanks for being cool.

[@TheRunner75]

I'm 67 and I discovered Sonic Youth lately. Well, it's the first time I'm listening to this album and I don't get it... Maybe it deserves more listens. By now, "Dirty" is among my favourite SY albums. Maybe you should try this one.

[@carbunkle5643]

@@TheRunner75 I'm 65. Bought this in 1986 sound unheard. I was into Husker Du and REM at the time. This was interesting but didn't really trip my trigger. Death Valley '69 is my favorite. Scary as hell. Listening right now- I like it.

[@daveandfriendsdoingmusic3622]

[@_Ramen-Vac_]

well, then lie a little and say it's Daydream Nation, lol

[@nadasadhana]

[@kaylynzoe8117]

My favorite is Washing Machine then this one, then Daydream Nation.

[@kaylynzoe8117]

Stuart Riley Lol yeah it is. What a way to end an album. There's just nothing like it. And Bad Moon Rising is a No Wave symphony with Noise Rock incorporated into it. Daydream Nation is really like a daydream when you listen to it. Providence is one of the dreamiest tracks I've ever heard as well as Secret Girl from EVOL. That little piano part alone makes that whole album that much better. Washing Machine, This, Daydream Nation, EVOL, and Dirty are my top 5 favorite Sonic Youth records.

[@ms-iz9ye]

ec101dm mine as well it's so different compared to their other albums from the 1980's. Maybe 'Confusion is Sex' comes close.

[@karolsimon8513]

Il loro capolavoro e uno dei dischi più profondi che siano mai stati fatti. Un abisso.

[@thebrokenclaim]

"Se preguntarán ¿Por qué no he subido el álbum fragmentado en track's? Bueno en primer lugar, aquellos que han escuchado el álbum dirán que hay partes en que el track no tiene sentido o carece de hilación, y es cierto. Lo segundo, es decir la respuesta para ello es sencilla "Bad Moon Rising" es de esos álbumes que para disfrutarlos, deben ser escuchados de un porrazo, es decir "No le pongas pausa al reproductor, carajo". Sin más que acotar, disfruten el álbum" RESPECT FOR THIS !

[@photoslum]

Got the Death Valley '69 ep back in 85 as my intro into SY. Still my favorite song from them

[@blipblip88]

The album keeps me sane.

[@MrHarvey1968]

There are better individual tracks on other albums, but as a complete album to listen to all the way through from start to finish (thinking of the vinyl release which finishes with Death Valley 69) this is the best that they have ever done.

[@sexobscura]

*Beginning with that alt-tuned start, this album ascends to the heights of giddy transcendence. It keeps us at the threshold of utter brilliance before the complete evisceration of the finale leaves us in a wasted heap ... begging for more*

Would be amazing to see some footage, even photos during the recording of this album. I love the delux reissues of some of their later albums, however this with some liner notes in regards to composition and production would be a real treat! As far as their main studio albums go, this is completely in a field of its own.

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

SONIC YOUTH IS THE REASON WE PLAY MUSIC

[@jmckenzie962]

Picked this album up on vinyl from my local record store in Wellington NZ recently. In the past I had mixed thoughts on it but listening to it on vinyl made my appreciation for it go through the roof. Amazingly haunting and gothic vibe all the way through, and the way the tracks all flow into each other seamlessly is gorgeous. I put the record on while doing the vacuuming and feel like I'm in a movie. Shame that "Flower" and "Halloween" couldn't make it onto the vinyl cuz those tracks are also amazing.

[@dokrvavi]

Man, I remember when I first bought this album. I only heard Dirty and Jet set before that. So when I put it in player my first reaction was: "Wakanda shit is this????? " But I decided to give it another chance. And another. So it grew on me and now is my favourite SY album.

[@ms-iz9ye]

This album reminds me of Jean Michel Basquiat. This album fits his personality. I always wondered if he ever saw Sonic Youth back in the 80's when they played all over New York like the Mudd Club. This is my favorite SY it's so fuck'n abrasive. Especially with the tape loops. I love it.

[@babagoop6056]

Neat comment

[@waz3128]

I'm sure Basquiat was in an experimental noise rock band of a similar ilk, at least in the movie about him he was

[@ms-iz9ye]

@@waz3128 yeah you’re talking about his band grey named after the art book. I know Vincent Gallo was in that band but there isn’t anything recorded by them to know what they sounded like. Maybe something like the SYR stuff Sonic Youth did. I did find out from Bob Bert that during the early days of SY they did see Basquiat in passing (on the street) but he didn’t see them in concert or anything that I’m aware of.

[@chrisschneider850]

its about a satanic teenage on long island who became a pcp head and murdered his friends in the woods. ricky kasso

[@krabbshaq3751]

I believe that Im Insane might be the single best song ever recorded. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being dragged down into insanity and the finishing "inside my head my dogs a bear she was significant - im insane" line is just genius. The way the guitars teeter across eachother while that eerie swishing echos in the back can never be replicated.

[@user-sy2lf1sn7c]

Around 2004, when I was listening to "Sonic Nurse", I was a classical music college student. I was tired of the bitter world of classical music, so one day I exclaimed to the composer's professor, "I can't take your lecture!" One day, during the lecture of Professor, I blasted "Kill Your Idols" with a huge speaker in the protest hall. I got out of college, giving a fuck sign to my professor. Even now, I work as a classical composer and punk rocker. I'm usually quiet, but You can't touch it if I'm sharp!

[@Bacon7666]

I remember when I purchased this album for the first time back on 1996. From all the Sonic Youth albums this one was an annoyance to most of my friends, even though they all the time claimed that Sonic Youth was a cool band I knew that they could stand anything else from them, except this album. I could always see their face expressions and lack of comments on the album. I don't know why this album frustrates a lot of people but I find it to be an awesome masterpiece. Not their best album, but a great decent album that every time I play it it brings me a lot of memories throughout the years.

[@thedivinemissjenn]

This, EVOL and Confusion is Sex are their best records, hands down.
