Not sure if this has been posted, but I won't deal with a new thread.
I don't even care about polls..but was directed to this by a friend. I can't believe these reviewers sing such a high praise for Rather Ripped. Wow, will I start reading Rolling Stone again ?....nah...but anyway here...

3 Rather Ripped [Listen]
SONIC YOUTH
Their mean age now up to forty-eight with thirtysomething troublemaker Jim O'Rourke gone, indie's gray eminences made a light, simple, terse, almost-pop album. Granted, the guitar hook on, for instance, "Do You Believe in Rapture?" wouldn't sound so lovely if they and all their progeny hadn't long since adjusted our harmonic expectations. But who better to play to our expanded capacity for tuneful beauty? The vocal star of
Rather Ripped is Kim Gordon, breathlessly girlish at fifty-three as she and her husband evoke visions of dalliance, displacement, recrimination and salvation that never become unequivocally literal.
Shocking !! I love it though.....Rather Ripped rocks !!! :lol:
