Pros: The words, music, vocals, and vision.
Cons: ...
Without a doubt, Sonic Youth was the catalyst that sparked the flame that lit the match that would become grunge. Their signature noise rock style resonated throughout the late 1980’s and even through to the 1990’s. Today, the band continues to...

Pros: Waves of guitars, noise and stripped-down music
Cons: Folks don't make 'em like this anymore
When Daydream Nation was released in 1988, I was absolutely amazed by it. After all, music just didn't sound like that back then. It was too free-form, experimental and noisy to be compared to more than just a few bands. Looking back, it seems...

Pros: Brilliant
Cons: Noisy
Dissonant and grinding, "Daydream Nation" is also hypnotic in a way that few other albums share.
So as I understand it, this was the watershed release that led to '90s grunge. Forget its history, though, and forget whatever rock-critic...

Pros: Wonderful, epic songs; ambitious, stirring, haunting and astonishingly performed
Cons: N/A: This album is a close to perfection as a record can get
There are fewer moments in life as exhilarating, as captivating, as terrifying, as apocalyptic, as thunderous, as grand and as earth-shattering as this 70-minute record. The very essences of life, the things that fill us full of fear, the things that ...

Pros: Beautiful, raw music of quality hard to find nowadays
Cons: Not for everyone
He wrote “Daydream Nation” on a scrap of paper ripped out of the corner of a notebook. I was going to see the Sonic Youth open a concert for Pearl Jam and on the suggestion of a friend this album was to be my introduction.
I finally...

Pros: Familiar music just a few degrees off of traditional.
Cons: none here.
Okay, quick test. Go Listen to this record. Listen to it without looking at the copyright date or reading the liner notes.
Now, tell me what year it was released.
I wonder if anyone guesses within even 5 years of the...

Pros: grabs you and won't let go
Cons: none
The music flows around your brain, washing your head from the inside. The guitars! oh the guitars!
Sonic Youth is a prolific band that has been around for years. Daydream Nation was released in 1993, and is a gentle album compared to most of...

Pros: abusive gutiar lines
Cons: never gained the appreciation it deserved
Sonic Youth might just be the greatest most innovative band of all time. There is no band like them and there will never be a band like them. Daydream Nation is an amazing work of art that totally blows my mind every time I listen to it. The guitar...
