Our Take

SONIC YOUTH Hits Are For Squares Review: Ah, Sonic Youth, the masters of noise and dissonance. With their latest compilation album "Hits Are For Squares," the band takes a departure from their usual experimental sound and delivers a collection of, well, hits. Now, before you dive in expecting the usual Sonic Youth chaos, let me set the scene for you. This album is a curated selection of the band's more accessible tracks, hand-picked by none other than a motley crew of celebrity friends and fans. We're talking names like Chloe Sevigny, Eddie Vedder, and Mike D from the Beastie Boys. But don't write this off as a mere cash grab or attempt at mainstream success. Sonic Youth still manage to inject their signature dissonance and experimental flair into each track, even the more radio-friendly ones. Songs like "Sugar Kane" and "Teen Age Riot" still retain that raw, unfiltered energy that made Sonic Youth legends in the first place. So, does "Hits Are For Squares" live up to the hype? In true Sonic Youth fashion, the answer is both yes and no. Yes, it's a fun ride through the band's more accessible side, perfect for newcomers or casual listeners. But no, it's not a definitive Sonic Youth experience. For that, you'll have to dive deep into their extensive discography. In conclusion, "Hits Are For Squares" is a delightful detour into Sonic Youth's more mainstream offerings, but don't let it be your only pit stop on the Sonic Youth journey. Dive deeper, and you'll find the real gems that make this band truly special.
