'Rather Ripped' has already been leaked on the internet...

I'm downloading it now When does it 'really' come out?

 

[Popovich]

E.V.O.L is the best.

 

[MulletProof]

Pink Steam

 

[brian]

rather ripped

 

[Miuccia79]

i cant wait... so that means they'lll prob. have a summer/fall tour???

 

[ivypixie]

Aw, Sonic Youth One of my top 4 fave bands of all time!

 

[stersita]

I really love Rather Ripped My faves are the neutral, pink steam, lights out, turquoise boy and rats. I can't really choose, I like them all Which do you like most?

 

[MulletProof]

ugh, my favorites are probably those you mentioned above..but i do have a thing for pink steam, that makes it the most outstanding track in my tiny opinion.

 

[stersita]

I know, I love it how it starts so calm and then it suddenly changes around sec 45

 

[MulletProof]

i know. i love those songs that are majorily instrumental but then almost at the end give you the little vocal surprise. ahem- Sebastien Tellier´s La Ritournelle.

 

[stersita]

never listened to that should i?

 

[brian]

a first peek at the cover art...

 

[MulletProof]

do you like it, brian? i found it the other day and posted it in the album of the day thread but i wanted to think it wasn't the real thing..i don't know, it just looks so...rapidly done.

 

[La bordélique]

The CD cover strangely reminds me of Garbage's Bleed Like Me.

 

[Cosette]

^And me. But I do like it.


However, unlike you guys, I've not heard any tracks... Can anyone give me a link to an mp3, perhaps?

i'm still on the fence about it... it's certainly not as striking as any of their previous covers...

 

[Manuva]

I got Daydream Nation a few years ago, and I just love it!
Teenage Riot is an excellent song - I hope they tour again soon.

 

[kellyt]

They are touring a little bit this summer and then with Pearl Jam for a few dates... not going to many cities though. they are playing at CBGBs on June 13, and I want to go, but I think the tickets will sell out in 2 seconds. I will get them if I am super lucky.

Yeah, huh.

Just the other day I was admiring the cover of A Thousand Leaves...

...and thinking what an unfair comparision that would make

Teenage Riot is such a beautiful song, my fave by Sonic Youth i think...
