Dirty

Too heavy for my tastes

I had a hard time with this one. It seems like it wants to be a rock band with a bunch of needless noise at times. I just couldn't finish it.

Terribly difficult listen. Some people may describe some of my favorite albums similarly. I'm no stranger experimental rock, but holy fuck is this terrible. I knew going in I wasn't going to enjoy this. But boy was I wrong. I HATED this. I could make an argument that literally 50% of the lines on this album, sound like they were either being delivered by a deaf man, or while the singer(s) are taking a violent, no-fibre-in-months, hard, painful, shit. What kind of shit-hole perspective did the people who made this band famous come from? I might have to skip the next Sonic Youth record because this was fucking unbearable.

Please no more Sonic Youth!

I have spent the best part of twenty years trying to get into Sonic Youth. They are one of those bands that critics and musicians absolutely revere, and on paper they should be right up my street. Every few years I go back in, hoping this will be the moment it finally clicks. Listening to Dirty again, I really wanted it to win me over. It did not. There is no denying the influence or the attitude, and the production has that thick early 90s alternative rock weight to it. But for me it just feels like a fairly standard heavy record from that era. The guitars are noisy, the vocals detached, and the songs blur into one another without ever really grabbing me. I keep waiting for something to spark, a melody, a hook, a moment of chaos that feels exciting rather than just abrasive, but it never quite arrives. I can appreciate what they were doing and why so many people love them. It just does not connect with me emotionally. After multiple attempts over the years, I think I have to accept they might simply not be my band. Favourite song: 100% Least favourite song: Orange Rolls, Angel’s Spit Album artwork: Bold and very of its time. Instantly recognisable.

Just noise

My ears bleed.

Just can't stand it

Didn't like it. They try too hard at producing random noise. All over the place. Not an album I'd stick on. 1 star

No

Ein immer überdrehtes Radiohead? Anstrengend

Det här är skitdåligt.

I don’t like sonic youth

Not for me

Just couldn’t get into it personally

Não gostei muito, mas sugar kane é boa.

Zero stars

Not for me. Young excited noisy band.

Not worth listening to Least fav: shoot Fav: Jc Guess I don’t really like noise music lol

Ugh. It is not good. I just don't care for it. It is whiney and the music is not good. It is better than a one but not really a two. I will round down.

Honestly, it just sounds too much like they're jamming the instruments and not playing? Really unsure but the whole album left me un-enthused.

To me this just sounds like a college band. Not terrible, but nothing special. Didn’t know there was a female in the band though! Learned something new. Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: nothing stood out Worst Song:

Dont touch m breast im just working the desk... super trash

not a fan for the most part. A few songs I liked

Las voces a veces suenan como al borde del vomito, lo que me disgusto y costo seguirlo, el resto estuvo bien pero nada grandioso

Started with a screech... got worse... dreadful noise of extreme use of the wah wah bar mixed with resemblance of some melody or vocals. Drumming patterns were just smash smash smash akin to a school band on their debut in the school gym.

I’m sure this is great, and it should really suit my taste but I just couldn’t find a way into it.

Not my thing. Kinda noisy. Hey, Yutes - Get off my lawn!

Crap.

Not really to my taste in music, even in the songs where I would find connections with specific lyrics, it was always wrapped in discordant rock. I had to skip through a bunch of songs in 10-second increments because I found the inharmonious noise quite awful, sensory wise. I liked the guitar on Chapel Hill.

absolutely no. from beginning to end it was awful. there was no good part anywhere.

Something that starts ok with "100%" but then shits itself with a non-effort like "Swimsuit Issue" just pisses me off and remains just as awful ... until it gets worse. Just an ugly-sounding hour of insulting laziness. no. 2/10 1 star

Loud, aggravating noises and a horrid singing style turned me off from this album. This is the second album of theirs I've gotten and this is by far the worst of the two. Just not my thing, I didnt have the desire to finish the album.

Too much noise. Some nice guitar riffs fail to make it listenable.

wtf

These songs just sounded like a lot of racket. Nothing that appealed to me at all Hated it.

It was definitely in the timeline of what I should have been into but never really got into Sonic Youth. I pushed myself through the whole album and still think, just not for me.

This is just so laughably bad. Horrid "singing" and unimaginative songs. 2/10.

Suffered through about half of this. I tried. It was bad noise.

Had a hard time enjoying this one. It felt long and I skipped a few songs. The singer was pretty rough and it felt a little too edgy. 3.1/10

Not my jam at all. made it 1 minute in. yuck.

Fuck Sonic Youth.

aburrida pero no tanto como machine head d deep purple.....

Bit much for me this, don’t really go in for whiny vocals 1-2 stars (didn’t finish it)

trash

There was nothing on this album that stood out to me. I can understand that some people want a band to sound the same throughout an album and over the course of their career. When I'm looking for new music or bands to listen to they have got to get my attention and break out from the noise. Catchy lyrics, interesting arrangements, and experimentation are instrumental to peaking my interest. This did none of that.

Nope. Stopped after a couple of songs. Would get a headache if I listen to much more. It's just chaotic noise to me.

1/5 after only 3 songs I knew this wasn't of my taste
