      The eternal sonic loop. Sonic infinity. Massage the history. Kim's voice, oozing pain, a relationship in tatters, a band on the brink... "you and me / bound at sea / floating on debris / yr so close, close to me... all the moneys gone". Loop back to the beginning. 1982. I Dreamed I Dreamed. Kim again... "All the money's gone / The days we spend, go on and on" You are in the eternal. Its a beautiful place to be with the greatest band in history.

        El disco me encanta pero, al menos esta edición, suena fatal. Totalmente apagado y sin agudos.

          Wonderful album! Very underrated. It has some of late SY's best tracks, like "Calming the snake", "Malibu gas station" and "Massage the history". Kim Gordon's singing in particular, is excellent. She truly gave it all in this last album. About the pressing, the quality is very nice. The mastering is very balanced, not in the line of early SY's raw production, but more aligned with modern production. All instruments are in the right place.

            Solid and chunky records and thick cardboard package. I miss Sonic Youth. I wish they would "Massage The History" and just play again.

                There was a version of this that I got via the band, when originally released, that included a cd copy of the album, a copy of Live at Battery Park on vinyl and maybe some other stuff too. I'd add it in to the releases but can't remember what was included in the full package.

                  Stunning album, stunning packaging, stunning pressing. I wish that I could buy a record this good every week....or month...even!

                      All right with the precedent comments,
                      the artwork and the general realization of this record is magnificent, the music is brilliant,
                      for me the best album for a long time.
                      A copy without fault!!! All the young groups of Power Pop: take it of the seed,
                      respect always so much!!!
                      Long Life to Sonic Youth!! The Eternal for ever!!!

                        Another great album...again. Not all are great, this is pretty close to five stars. So Let's call it 4.8 (and mark it as 5)
