Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A fresh listen to the original 15 tracks on Sonic Youth's Dirty reminds one just how great this 1992 album is in its original form. Remember the pop-sludge of "Sugar Cane"? The polit-grit of "Youth Against Fascism"? The sexy grind of "Drunken Butterfly"? How about SY's version of wistfulness on "Wish Fulfillment" or their brilliant, nonsensical cover of the hardcore number "Nic Fit?". Plus, you had "Chapel Hill, "JC", "Purr", and "100%" to rock you into froth. Now, take all that and add a dozen (mostly) instrumental rehearsal recordings of those songs taking shape ("Barracuda" emerged as "Drunken Butterfly", while "Guido" and "Little Jammy Thing" gave birth to "Wish Fulfillment"). These rehearsal tracks follow two previously released instrumental B-sides--"The End of the End of the Ugly" and "Tamra"--creating a blissfully long wash of sound, veering from hypnotic, pastoral soundscapes to kinetic experiments held together by dark, probing rhythms. The second disc alone is priceless given that it may be the closest thing to a true instrumental Sonic Youth release that will ever appear. A handful of other B-sides and goodies round a collection that's worth every penny it costs. --Lorry Fleming

5.0 out of 5 stars Sonic Youth - Dirty Deluxe Ed, 5 May 2003
(If i could, id give it 6 stars)
'Dirty' would be considered one of Sonic Youth's more 'rockier' albums, which isn't surprising with such songs as 'Purr' and '100%'. Produced by Butch Vig (Nirvana - Nevermind, Smashing Pumpkins - Gish and Siamese Dream) it purely releases a sonic vibe throughout, from 'Wish Fulfillment' with emotion pouring out of it along side typical sonic youth dreamy guitar distortion to rawness of 'Drunken Butterfly'. Not one track on this album fails to impress.
The B-sides continue to show the radicalness of sonic youth with guitars screaming and seemingly free lyrics. The second disk is early recordings of the forementioned album and is truly unique. Imagine a Sonic Youth jam session recorded and released... you get the idea.

This album is among my favourites, if your looking to rock out, get it, NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, 14 Nov 2003
By yosemite sam "1965indie" (StaffordshireUK) - See all my reviews
  
Hard to pick the best album of Sonic Youth. This band are without doubt the most important post 70's US alt rock group ever.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you want to be "alternative" please look elsewhere., 28 Oct 2004
Krautrock never sounded so immitated!
OK I can't think of any female led Krautrock bands either and I really do like this LP (+ Daydream Nation). The thing is, since hearing the 1st 2 LPs by Neu! and everything by Can (then throw in some Stooges, Syd Barrett and Faust + others) I just never want to waste my time listening to Sonic Youth. Their LPs aren't bad, it's just that I'd rather listen to any of the above instead, & at one point I have owned all Sonic Youth releases.
That said the soundtrack to "Made in USA" does have some unique and beautiful moments...
