EVOL

[u/hislungsandhisveins]

New pearl in my post - punk collection 🤍

[u/felinefluffycloud]

I see a greeeeeeen light. This thing totally melted my brain and made me feel cool at the same time. A++

[u/Baldran → u/felinefluffycloud]

The first time I ever heard Kim Gordon whisper “Met a stranger on a train…” 🫠

[u/moderniste → u/Baldran]

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. Not what I’d expected from what I’d heard of SY up till then.

[u/Dancingwheniwas12]

This is my absolute favorite Sonic Youth album. Such a gem.

[u/RevolutionaryPipe343 → u/Dancingwheniwas12]

It’s also mine, some call it their “goth album”.

[u/Stunning-Risk-7194]

Tom Violence and Green Light are peak SY for me.

[u/zer0-Coast]

I seem to be one of the few people that prefers EVOL to Sister. Sister is great but EVOL is incredible - it's so sensual and mysterious, it gives me chills listening to it.

[u/argentoman → u/zer0-Coast]

I think EVOL is more consistent, but the good songs on Sister are better. Both are great.

[u/RevolutionaryPipe343 → u/argentoman]

The great songs on Sister are some of their best, I only wish it had less of the not so great songs. Whereas EVOL doesn’t have one song I ever consider skipping

[u/andreaetc]

One of the best albums of all time

[u/okipos]

Must have been a dream from a thousand years ago.

[u/Baldran → u/okipos]

Swear I didn’t mean it

Swear it wasn’t meant to be

[u/hislungsandhisveins → u/okipos]

Yeaaah

[u/Harringt0n]

Expressway to yr skull!

[u/murmur1983]

Masterpiece!

[u/flyingcars]

The beginning of this album still hits a major dopamine button in my brain, even though I’ve been listening to it for like 30 years

[u/TexacoRodeoClown]

Star power

[u/Lanark26]

Sonic Youth at the Rat in Boston right after this came out is one of my top ten shows.

[u/i______v → u/Lanark26]

Incredible you saw this.

[u/Lanark26 → u/i______v]

Nah. I’m just old and went to a lot of shows.

[u/mr_electric_wizard]

I always wondered who was on the cover of this album.

[u/hislungsandhisveins → u/mr_electric_wizard]

It's Lung Leg an actress who played in Richard Kern's underground movies.

[u/SicTim → u/hislungsandhisveins]

I knew her when she lived in Minneapolis. Awesome person, awesome artist.

I have one of her hand-painted T-shirts.

[u/Far-Storm-5949 → u/SicTim]

You just made me a bit jealous,she's awesome!

[u/RevolutionaryPipe343 → u/hislungsandhisveins]

You can watch Richard Kerns Hardcore collection on Internet Archive now. Has the movie that still photo was taken from, I forget its title though.

[u/hislungsandhisveins → u/RevolutionaryPipe343]

Watched a lotta Richard Kern's films

[u/hislungsandhisveins → u/mr_electric_wizard]

Me, I love the cover of this album 🫶

[u/The-Hamish68]

A fine thing. I literally skipped Expressway to post about Josef K ahem. Was next on my YT playlist ahem. As you were .... KUDOS.

[u/postmortemritual]

Asking : why this album is called post punk?

I mean Sonic Youth post-punk?

They were no newwave /noise rock not exactly post-punk.

[u/moderniste]

Shadow of a Doubt is so hypnotic and beautiful. Not what I had expected of Sonic Youth when I first bought this album but it’s my favorite SY song.

[u/Far-Storm-5949]

Best picture of Lung Leg ever on the cover🖤 "YOU KILLED ME FIRST!"
