Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped

NEW VINYL LP ON SONY 2016

180 GRAM HIGH QUALITY EDITION VINYL

Rather Ripped’ is the best collection of pure rock songs the band have put together in many many years and flawlessly showcases their indomitable skills. Kicking off with the album’s strongest moment, the Gordon-led ‘Reena’ I get the feeling they’re just showing off - trust me if this track doesn’t have you singing along by the time it’s 4 minutes come to an end, you’ll wake up in the night humming it. It’s a track with a strange power, reminiscent of the slow burning infectiousness of SY classic ‘Teenage Riot’ it has everything a track needs for instant classic status.
