One of the most interesting records from their incredible discography. There are still a few traces of their noisy beginnings, but not that much actually. There are melodies here. And damn great ones. This may not be the most instantly rewarding of their indie period, but with time, it clearly becomes one of the best.

And the cover is absolutely awesome *o*

The first album of their to incorporate rock song structures, though its still quite noisy. This along with the addition of drummer Steve Shelley, began their rapid ascent to indie royalty.

Sonic Youth dishing out some abstract alt-rock with a hidden pop core.

Actually quite interesting in some tracks, particually Starpower and In The Kindom # 19. Might have to relisten later, could be a good grower album.
