Sonic Youth have been one of my favourite discoveries in this book, but the previous album and this one have been underwhelming in comparison to their first three in the book. Perhaps they peaked with Daydream Nation. I do feel as though I need to listen to these again though, much like a lot of the 7 star albums in the list.
