"An Amazing album, one of my favorites of the 21st century. Sonic Youth continued to go into new territory they had been searching in their last few records, but this time they blended some more structure, but there's still an eerie edge that makes the record unique. My biggest criticism is that L..." [+] Reply

"DO NOT let taking back sundays later work put you off this album!!! (the 2nd album was okay, after that its useless.) I see this album as under rated. By far taking back sundays best work in my opinion (though it isn't in the most charts on here...) good lyrics, incredibly catchy chorus' certainl..." [+] Reply

"Brainwashed was to be George Harrison's last album. He was working on it till close to his death in November 2001.
