Pros: Powerful bursts of guitar noise blended with some atmospheric, dreamy songs that wander Cons: A grunge album? Who says
For being so short-lived, the grunge scene managed to taint a lot of fantastic bands. Oddly, Sonic Youth was lumped into the grunge category with this disc, and that's a shame. There's not a whole lot of grunge here and it's a fine, experimental disc...
Well, while only owning Sonic Youth's "Dirty" for about 30 hours, I can safely say that it's my favorite SY album. And I thought they couldn't get much better than "Washing Machine".... The first four tracks, "100%", "Swimsuit Issue", "Theresa's ...
Pros: sonic youth defined alternative...this album is a crucial chapter Cons: not a one
Probably the closest album Sonic Youth has come to sounding mainstream, this album still manages to combine a barrage of indie-rock, punk, and noise to provide a aural barrage on the listener. When this album was released in 1992 Sonic Youth was...
Pros: great diversity, rocks heavy and noisely but can be melodic and pretty Cons: a couple of lame songs, Kim Gordon singing
Back in 1992, when "Dirty" was released, the grunge scene was in high gear. Bands such as Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden were dominating not only college radio stations, but had taken their act into the top 40 in many...
Pros: Makes Sense (to me at least) Cons: A Little Too Polished
Hey ! Isn't this my first CD...
Back in 92 when I transited from vinyl and cassettes, to a more artificial but convenient form, this was my very first CD. Spurred on by how much I enjoyed Goo (on tape). I bought it without a second thought...
Pros: Sonic Youth and Butch Vig Cons: Butch Vig and Sonic Youth
I don't know who the heck died and made me some sort of expert on Sonic Youth, but... oh, wait, I'm not expert on Sonic Youth. I do know what I like, and I like Sonic Youth. I am currently the proud owner of four (4) Sonic Youth albums;...
Pros: Sonic Youth... with a big, slick rawkin' sound Cons: only one Lee song
I'm a hardcore Sonic Youth fan, and I love all of their albums like my own children. I know the Youth's style very well, so here goes. Here's my review of Sonic Youth's 7th album, "Dirty". DAAYMN. It's garunteed to take your breath away. As far...
Pros: Many songs. Great Guitar Noise. contains, arguably the best song they ever wrote. Cons: Bit too "clean" for Sonic youth
I have been a fan of Sonic Youth since 1987 when "Daydream Nation" changed my life. They are my all-time favorite band, and I have yet to meet anyone else who will claim that. I have heard the progression in their music from the early days (Sonic...
Pros: Interesting.Compelling. Cons: Takes a while to get into.
"Dirty" was the second Sonic Youth album I ever bought, and it elevated my opinion of them no end. This album is less experimental then other efforts, but no less compelling and intriguing. Opener "100%" is a dirty,(no pun...
Pros: Roots of punk/grunge Cons: they could only fit 75 mins on the disc
If you haven't heard Sonic Youth's Dirty and you are into Nirvana, Green Day, Blink 182 or any of the other punk/grunge bands of the 90's then you HAVE to give this album a listen. Sonic Youth is the band that gave inspiration to all the others and...
