Goo (studio album) by Sonic Youth

With this album I find it's necessary to let go and embrace the noisiness and distortion, as if the music were trying to put you in a trance, and then I do like it. It helps that their playing is amazing, and nowhere more so than on "Kool Thing". Still not a noise-rock fan, but I like most of this album.

Great, a bit more accesible follow-up to Daydream Nation remaining in similar style, but little less noisy. My favorite tracks are Dirty Boots, Song For Karen, Kool Thing and probably the most underrated song here - Disappearer.

Dirty Boots is one of my favorite songs of all time. But as the album progresses it doesn't hold my interest in the same way as daydream nation. Obviously I still love it or it wouldn't be getting a 9/10 from me.

Sonic Youth were never my favorite, but this was the album that came closest to convincing me I was wrong.

This poppier approach works better for me than Daydream Nation.

Very good album but not their best. I like how they paid tribute to Karen Carpenter, that was nice. Good album to break into the '90's.

Great.

Favorite Tracks:Dirty Boots, Cinderella's Big Score

First 7 tracks are excellent, on par with their best albums. But then comes a 3 track run which sadly isn't as good. Not terrible, but not good enough for SY record. That being said there are a number of underrated songs here, especially the closer Titanium Expose and Mote which are so good. And yes, Dirty Boots is one of their best tracks, incredibly good. All in all another excellent Sonic Youth record.
