Sonic Youth - Dirty (1992)


[Alt/indie/noise-ish?]

Sonic Youth are probably, along with J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr, responsible for making the Jazzmaster guitar awesome again. But that's just the guitar geek in me talking.

Rather than posting Daydream Nation like everyone does (Even though it's an album you definitely SHOULD have) I decided to go with Dirty, the band's 1992 release, and the one that first got me into them.

Starting off, with the track "100%", noisy guitars shriek around your head, setting the tone for the rest of the album. It's an equal mix of melody and dissonance, which may prove to be too much for some listeners. While others may absolutely adore it (Like yours truly)

To explain it would be pointing at extremes. And way too much for words to describe.
Just check it out.

Ps. Pay special attention to "Theresa' s sound world" Just cause it's my favorite track. And I say so.
