| 3.1 good | Erwann S. STAFF | October 19th 20 |
Sonic Youth's most accessible record. Much more alt/indie rock than it is noisey, they haven't discarded dissonance, but they rather ripped (lel) the songs' length, most of them being 3-4 minutes long. It results in concise catchy songs ("Incinerate", "Pink Steam"), as well as undercooked cuts - these ones mostly are the more atmospheric songs. The highs are really high here, but the album is overall too inconsistent, especially in its middle section.

20 years after Daydream Nation, Sonic Youth releases one of their most consistent albums. Although it's more straightforward, and less noisy, it still feels like a timeless release from the band.

It was right on the edge between a 3.5 and a 4 for me, and I decided to give it the 4 because I?m pretty sure repeated listens will make it one. Shout out to butcherboy for the rec

Too clean sounding. Needs more fuzz, spastic guitars, and well, any kind of noise.

Love the first few tracks, but tends to get weak towards the end

Sonic Youth are one the oldest bands today that still make important music. Unfortunetly with the release of Rather Ripped they trip up. The music iis as standard as SY get and can be pretty boring. The ideas are good, but many songs are under written. If Sister and DDN are rainforests of sound and creativity it would seem RR is nothing more than a prarie.
