Sonic Youth are probably my favourite band that are still performing and 'Evol' is my all time favourite album, well joint top with 'Ostrich Churchyard'. And if there is a cooler, sexier, more amazing nearly-60-year-old woman on the planet than Kim Gordon than let me know please. I'm going to see Dinosaur Jr. soon when they tour here with Built To Spill. |

I've been dipping my toe into Sonic Youth for a while now, finally started to 'get' them. My favourite at the moment is Goo but I've only heard 5 of their albums. Evol was the one I liked the least, is there something I'm missing with that album? Just seemed to drag for me.. |

To my mind everything from Evol to A Thousand Leaves is better than Goo. |
I just found Evol really dull and slower paced than Goo.
What's wrong with Goo? :( I like Goo, but I'm still trying to find their best albums. Not listened to A Thousand Leaves so I can't comment. |

'Evol' is a dimly lit room, late at night album that is coming out of speakers album; not really a sitting on a bus, going to work and listening to an iPod album. |
I'll be sure to give it another go, since it takes a while for some albums to really worm their way into my affections but for now Evol is a no likey. :(

There is good stuff on it 'Dirty Boots', 'Mote', 'Disappearer' etc. |
I love both of these bands, but I give my vote to Sonic Youth. They just have so many levels.
As for "Evol", I consider it to be their early masterpiece. Everything essential that SY was and what they will be from that moment on is on that album. |
It was tough for me to choose. I love Dinosaur Jr.--J.'s solos are amazing, but I think SY is better and has put out many more quality albums. SY also has a more diverse sound and are more willing to experiment, which I admit sometimes doesn't turn out well, but I still appreciate it. I also need to listen to the SYR albums again. I listened to them all in a span of two days a few months ago but I don't remember a whole lot except thinking that they were all really experimental, which I don't find to be a bad thing. I should give them another chance.
