I believe that "Washing Machine" is one of the weakeast releases by Sonic Youth. Maybe the problem is the fact that there are almost no fast numbers, almost all of them are mid-tempo rock tracks. Whatever the reason, I cant shake off the feeling that they sound bored, with the exception of "Junkies Promise" (secret ode to Kurt Cobain, apparently) and epic "Diamond Sea" which is closing the album. Other tracks seems to just fill the space. Very disappointing record, in my opinion.
