What I eventually decided with R.E.M. was, it is much more fun and meaningful alike, to consider New Adventures in Hi Fi / Up / Reveal / Around the Sun / Accelerate ... and Collapse all as their final album. :P
so with Sonic Youth,
A Thousand Leaves / NYC Ghosts and Flowers / Murray Street / Sonic Nurse / Rather Ripped / The Eternal ... i guess is what I would consider their final album, for now. I just like how it feels to pretend a band on hiatus has released a several hours long mind inspiring/shocking final release spaced out across several years, do you?
