Sonic Youth - Dirty
Sonic Youth's Dirty reviewed: grunge seeping into their signature tone, with a more polished sound than Goo and a puzzle over why fans supposedly hate it.
The verdict
You can almost hear the sound of grunge seeping into their signature tone. This album has such a different sound from Goo - a fact most people chalk up to the pop-leaning production and more polished sound than many of the band’s previous releases. Every review I read references how much Sonic Youth fans hate this album compared to their discography, but I don’t get that. I might need that one explained to me by one of the wiser denizens of the musicStack world.
