Actually in a trainspotting type of situation it should be the worst record ever made by someone you admire.
Sonic Youth- "NYC Ghosts and Flowers." The members of SY have always loved concrete, 20th cen classical, and free jazz. On "Nyc Ghosts and Flowers", they decided to DO it. On "Goodbye 20th Century", they were doing covers (and those were excellent). Well, they simply suck at it. Lee Ranaldo's poetry has always sucked, but this album gave him a chance to orally shit it overtop of horribly uninteresting music. The songs go NOWHERE, Jim O'rouroke adds little more than a few pointless electronic bloops to the record, and the songs that are more like traditional SY ("nevermind, what was it anyway?") aren't even fit for a B-sides collection.
