Yep it is pretty great one of their best
"Expressway to Yr. Skull" still one of the best songs of the 80s for me. And "Starpower" is also one of my favorites of this album.
also this >>>>>>>>> Sister

Shadow of a Doubt is my fav. Also this is the best Sonic Youth album for sure.

I disagree, but this album is incredible. This, Sister and DN could be the best three album run of all time tbh.

I still jam out to Teenage riot every so often (not on this album btw), but most of Sonic Youth's other material have gotten boring over the period of time I liked them. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I can say that Sonic Youth is certainly not as interesting or fun as I used to think.

For whatever reason, Sonic Youth have just never done anything for me. I guess I prefer this to Daydream Nation and Sister, but I never really feel like listening to any of them. I get why people like them, I just happen not to.
