Goo

I'll never understand why Sonic Youth isn't in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.There is much debate as to the "best" Sonic Youth album of all-time, some bold adventurers might claim it's EVOL, others point to Sisters, most would likely give the nod to Daydream Nation.However this album also belongs in the date. Yes, it came later in the career of this influential and innovative band. Yes, it was an album that was fraught with production problems, Yes, most band members remember this recording with dread. It was apparently, no fun to make and cost way too much money for the record company's liking.Despite all these problems the album launches itself like a rocket and never lets you go. It's a superb piece of work, lyrically, sonically and for the simplicity of just "rocking out". Truly one of the great rock albums of all-time.

Vinyl sounds amazing, especially loud!

However, it works.

When I heard Daydream Nation for the first time, I just didn't understand the style and why people would get turned on to it in the first place. It was a decent album, but Goo is among my top recommendations for anybody getting into SY for the first time. I hate to use the word "emo" as it triggers negative stereotypes in people's minds. But I mean real emotional music, the kind that makes you wanna cry, in a positive sense. This album is solid all the way through, with Dirty Boots as an excellent opening and my favorite being Kool Thing. And I love their experimentation with tone and effects in all their catchy melodies. My next plan is to get Sister, along with their other big hits, but from what I hear you should steer clear from their latest material.

I'm not sure I have a favorite Sonic Youth album; I like them all for different reasons. If you aren't familiar with SY I would recommend starting here, or maybe Daydream Nation. They are the most readily accessible IMHO.Note that this is probably not for everyone. This is post-punk, or noise-rock, as some call it. And it may take a few listens to 'get' what's up with them. But I really enjoy their noise and find it quite satisfying. Particularly this album.These are some of the best tunes of this era/genre. They deserve a hearing. Recommended.

I had this album when it came out in 1990. I had turned on to Sonic Youth with "Daydream Nation," and so I was psyched to hear "Goo." Sadly I never cared for several of the songs, and so I have not heard it in years. But I had a hankering for the unique guitar sound, and listening again after all this time I realize there is a great EP here. I love the sound of the guitars!Here is my EP:DisappearerMoteDirty BootsMildred PierceCinderella's Big ScoreScooter & JinxTitanium ExposeDisappearerYes, it opens and closes with Disappearer, my favorite track.For me this is a great evocation of 1990, and I'm glad to hear it again!

Ok

Amidst cries of sell out, Sonic Youth's major label debut did not disappoint. From the Raymond Pettibon designed cover to the strangely tuned guitars, the Youth's sonic assault continues with great tracks such as Dirty Boots and Kool Thing featuring Chuck D. Having had this album on cd for years, the vinyl version sounds fantastic. I rate this one of Sonic Youth's best along with Sister and Evol. A must have for any fan of this band.

Vinile registrato molto bene !! Consigliato

Als cadeau aangekocht en ontvanger was tevreden.

Reedição de 2015 do sexto álbum da banda, lançado originalmente em 1990, e que na minha opinião é um dos melhores álbuns Sonic Youth, com mais presença da Kim Gordon. O álbum é remasterizado da versão analógica original, e incluim um encarte com fotos da banda e vem com o case de vinil de papel. Ótima aquisição!

Un regalo de cumpleaños.....triunfada total.
