they have a certain charm to them.

"Sonic Youth" is the band finding their feet, and The Burning Spear is a classic track...sounds like SY are trying to imitate Public Image Ltd, until that drill on the guitar comes in a skewers the song into crazyness.

"Confusion Is Sex" is just noisy and anarchaic...the drums sound absolutely AWFUL, and the production is generally bad. But the song "Confusion is Next"...that song is the sound of anarchy. Generally, a lot of Sonic Youth diehards regard Confusion as their best album...I wouldn't go that far, but it's a classic. Just complete, lo-fi, schizophrenic chaos.
