SONIC YOUTH Rather Ripped LP (Goofin') $10
http://www.buyolympia.com/killrockstars/Item=GOO011
Rather Ripped was recorded through the waning hours of
2005 into the dawn sunshine of 2006 at the venerable Sear
Sound Studios in NYC's fading theater district. Mixed at
Sear Sound and at Hoboken, NJ's Water Music by the golden
ear of John Agnello, the album exhibits SY in positive
vibration mode. Rather Ripped features twelve songs of
forward motion and harmonic/melodic surprise with vocals
shared by the frontline of Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and
Lee Ranaldo with Steve Shelley gluing the rhythms to the
floorboards. The band bursts out o' the barn with
"Incinerate," contemplates holy war mind games on "Do You
Believe in Rapture?" and keeps cruising strong through
track after track of risk-laden rock, finally floating
away with the curious "Or." This is a straight-up Sonic
Youth field on fire, with a compact potency of rock 'n'
roll enlightenment. Rather ripped, indeed.
