CD Description
Hot on the heels of their latest studio album 'Rather Ripped' comes this rarities compilation from arguably the most famous and enduring "indie" band of all time. Spanning the whole 12 years of their tenure on Geffen, this release collectsB-sides, soundtrack and compilation appearances, Japan-onlybonus tracks, outtakes and previously unreleased material, and serves both as a treat for their fans and as a great introduction to the unique, experimental songwriting for which they are famed.

Customer Reviews

Listen and enjoy
when i first heard that this album of b-sides was coming out i was at first sceptical. Sonic Youth would hardly be the first band to try and grab a quick buck by selling off their reject tracks, but upon listening to this album i was plesently suprised. The songs are of a high quality and are all well worth listening to. An explanation of where the tracks came from is even included in the sleve notes.
Overall this album is well worth buying if you're already a sonic youth fan.

Sonic Youth on a roll
This is a fine companion disc to the great recent albums Sonic Nurse and Rather Ripped. Its mostly guitarscapes, compelling and weirdly beautiful, with the great Kim Gordon vocal track Blink. Essential for Sonic Youth fans and probably a great way to discover the group. I particularly like Fire Engine Dream and Blink, but the whole disc is rewarding.
