I would disagree with the critics of Scooter+Jinx and Mildred Pierce, both tracks being an exciting part of a great and thrilling album. I also think that the original album would have been even better if the bonus track Tuff Boys had been added on the end of it. It was great to find this. If you are looking for songs and tunes you won't find them in it though. The alternative versions of the album's classic tracks are interesting but it took a while to like them and I still think that the album versions are better.

I have to completely disagree with the last reviewer. Nirvana fans will hate this record. They'll buy it and realise that Kurt Cobain wasn't that iconic after all. SY were the movers and shakers!
This album is aggressive youth, but not in a Daydream Nation proggy/punk way. This is a different aspect completely. Somewhere between the metallic drone and the beautiful noisecapes they create, they found a place on this record that is constantly surprising and re-defining their own style. A truly marvellous record.
Stand out tracks.. Dirty Boots -simply for the most catchiest riff SY came out with, Tunic (song for Karen) - the only record that could give a tribute to Karen Carpenter, slate the media and sound so cool in the same song, Mildred Pierce, for scaring the life out of me just when I was comfortable!
Great album, but not necessarily a good buy for a Sonic Youth virgin. For a good intro to SY I'd recommend getting Daydream Nation and Sonic Nurse.

After the release of their masterpiece Daydream Nation , SY return with this amazing album . Energetic , loud , aggresive and emotional .
From the moment it opens up with the classic Dirty Boots , it never looses its energy and its sheer amazingness . Tunic is an extremely emotional song featuring some of those much loved Kim vocals . Mary Christ and Kool Thing make u dance around and WOO-HOO and Lee's Mote doesnt spoil the party as it features an amazing tune , complicated lyrics and that good old feedback which made SY so famous. We move on to My friend Goo , a cheecky sort of a tune , very silly but gets u into that dancing happy mood i said before . Dissapearer and Cinderella's Big Score are simply excellent , simply brilliant i just dont know what to say about these songs . Titanium Expose is a great tune too , nice guitar work from Lee and Thurston .
My only complaint is Mildred Pierce which is ok but the album could do whithout it and Scooter and Jinx is kinda pointless , its just noises delaying Titanium Expose .
Otherwise an amazing album which although SY'S most accesible , doesnt manage to sell out and ROCKS

GOO special edition
I always felt Goo was a patchy record - Sure it has some killer toons esp. Dirty boots. But it also has some pretty forgettable toons as well - Which is why I don't rate it... Read more
