Our Take

SONIC YOUTH's latest offering, "Rather Ripped," is like a rollercoaster ride through a psychedelic dreamscape. At times blissfully cacophonous and at others eerily tranquil, this album takes the listener on a sonic journey that is both captivating and utterly mind-bending. From the opening track, "Reena," with its infectious groove and hypnotic vocals, to the closing notes of "Or," which leave you feeling like you've just been transported to another dimension, "Rather Ripped" is a masterclass in experimental rock. Each track is a testament to the band's ability to push boundaries and defy expectations. But what really sets this album apart is the way it seamlessly blends noise and melody, creating a sound that is both dissonant and harmonious. The guitar work is nothing short of mesmerizing, with Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo weaving intricate patterns that feel both chaotic and cohesive. The standout track, "Incinerate," is a perfect example of this dichotomy, with its driving rhythm and soaring vocals that give way to a wall of feedback and distortion. It's a song that grabs you by the ears and doesn't let go. In conclusion, "Rather Ripped" is a triumph of avant-garde rock that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. It's a bold and daring statement from a band that continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of sound. Trust us, you don't want to miss this one.
