Aaron Thompson
Yeah but he always did + the dreams in which he's dying are the best he ever had.
Kayden Bennett
disintegration has no bad tracks
big chair is half great tracks and half filler
Nathan Sanchez
Robert Smith has one of the most insufferably obnoxious voices in the entirety of popular music, so the choice is clear.
Dylan Reed
>t. disinterestedly skimmed the full album just once
Mason Price
A lot of the moments in disintegration are just inexplicably retarded. Perfect example is the guitar wanking intro smeared all over lovesong. Just tons of similarly amateurish creative decisions marring otherwise fantastic atmospheres
Kevin Foster
10 years ago I would have said Disintegration easily, but now it's Songs from The Big Chair (I'd much rather listen to Pornography than Disintegration anyway).
Sebastian Taylor
Disintegration is more unique and cooler, but Songs from the big chair is far better-crafted while not as adventurous
Grayson Garcia
John Wood
Well according to Any Forums it's Disintegration
Noah Perez
I see, so SFTBC it is!

Is daydream nation actually that good of an album? I’ve literally only heard that one song
Jacob Turner
The Smiths and New Order are better than either of them...
Adam Rivera
I think it kind of fucking sucks desu
Wyatt Scott
It's decent, and Teenage Riot isn't even the best song on it. However, there are actually a few Sonic Youth albums I like significantly more than it, including Sister, Dirty, Bad Moon Rising, and EVOL. I think the reason Daydream Nation gets so much acclaim is that it's beautiful, consistent, expansive, and not that abrasive. Virtually all of SY's other major albums are less consistent and more abrasive. So Daydream Nation is maybe their big artistic statement. It's just that its highs don't match the highs of their other, maybe less consistent, albums. Especially Sister.
