pretty much. experimental rock, no wave (what they all called it in the 80s), art rock, noise rock, etc. I just call it awesome.

watch live shows from the 90s. They rocked without Ibold. Kim didn't have bad arthritis back then so she really nailed all the notes and with a lot of energy. Back when she was using the thunderbird bass. They started using O'Rourke and then Ibold when her arthritis got too bad. Geriatric Youth

Mark Ibold's presence really beefed up their rhythm section. Sonic Youth never really "rocked" in the conventional sense prior to this. I've always felt Lee was the best straight-up rock singer/songwriter in that band, despite the fact that Thurston and Kim tended to sideline his songs.

What a badass performance!!! Sonic Youth will ALWAYS do their own thing - one of the reasons why I respect the band as much as I do. Don't ever use the term mainstream in reference to SY...

this is "mainstream" sonic youth. I guess, by hearing them all this time in the last years. And i think that they reached a peak.

Lee looks pretty good for his age actually. He and Kim sound good singing together here. Am i forgetting anything - they didn't really sing together on much before this, did they? I remember them both speaking and moaning on "I Dreamed I Dream" and not much after that.

The interplay of Lee and Thurston's riffs is amazing in this tune. Well, it is in every SY song, but you know what I mean...
