Besides a few good songs here and there I always thought maturing was the worst thing that ever happened to the Beasties. Licensed to Ill is by far their best, imo. I love Daydream Nation but that move toward the mainstream was hard for Sonic Youth to recover from. Not commercially, but artistically. Maybe this is Daydream Nation, Paul's Boutique, or if I understand it correctly, the Stereogum review seems to be comparing it to Pet Sounds! I don't know yet. I'm excited about it though.

im not sure how i feel either, but it seems like this is the music he wants to be making. the stuff he was putting out early did seem to be a little force, but i really thought with Wolf he was moving into a strong direction. liked this a lot more than Cherry Bomb though regardless.
