I thought Theresa's Sound World was Lee at first. It is a bit low for Thurston

For some reason I always remember Disappearer as a Lee song, until I actually listen to it or see the video.

I only ever knew them for 100% and Teenage Riot until a few years ago. I liked those songs, but never bothered looking into them more until I found a bunch of tapes at Value Village. Wow.

Before listening to them, I thought SY was a 6 guitars - band, like guitar army or someting like that. In fact, the first time I saw a report about them, it was about Lee and Thurston's cooperation with Glen Branca. I thought Glen was in the band.
I'm an idiot.

I thought Lee was singing on Theresa's Soundworld when I first got Dirty too.

Shit, isn't he? I haven't heard that song in ages, I thought it was Lee.

I bought Rather Ripped. :)

Also, I used to believe that Thurston was the only one who did good songs - I used to only like Teen Age Riot, Silver Rocket, Candle, 100%, Sugar Kane, Youth Against Facism, Dirty Boots, Tom Violence.
And I used to think Sister wasn't very good - I thought it was too "pop" and Schizophrenia was the only good song.

When I bought SYR5 on wax, I didn't bother adjusting the RPM and thought it was just this badass slow, sludgy experimental album. I knew the album was experimental beforehand, so I just assumed Kim's deep slowed down vocals were meant to be heard that way

i wasnt the only one then!! i mean they could have printed 33 rpm on the fucking label!!!

i used to listen to experimental jet set a lot and make excuses for its poor quality!

:( I like EJSTNS!

I LOVE EJST&NS

hence, the username!!!!

It's an awesome album!!!!!!

I know! It gets so much flack here, I prefer it to Dirty.

I also had the Thurston/Lee vocal thing with Dirty (first SY album I heard). It took me months of listening before I realised that Wish Fulfillment wasn't sung by Thurston.

oh yeah, me too!

too much shitting on EJS&NS on Rather Ripped. theyre GOOD albums. lets shit on Dirty!!! seriously, i dont like that album at all

EJST&NS has Screaming Skull and Sweet Shine!!!!

Don't forget Skink!

so EJT&NS is 1/8 good. that is still the worst album the Youth ever put out.

i didn't know there was drum samples on dirty.
