Am I the only one...

Or is Sonic Nurse more than just a bit countryish? I mean it's just my opinion, wondering if anyone else shares it. The consensus here seems to be favourable for Nurse, so maybe it's just me; or maybe people like country music. I mean comparing Sister to Sonic Nurse, you get this mellow, droning rock vibe on Sister, wherehas Sonic Nurse has this almost 'rockabilly' feel, especially on New Hampshire and Pattern Recognition. I mean, I like Sonic Nurse; but I was wondering if anyone noticed this. Or; maybe; this was intended.

Thank you for reading.

Yeah, probably.

Is that good?

make up your own mind about that, take what you like from the album that is what interpretation is all about....

Yes, I realise interpretation is the formation of one's indiviual opnion regarding a subject matter. But there is always a certain thematic approach to Sonic Youth's albums, if not lyrically, then sonically, a backdrop if you will, a canvas onto which SY paint their aural textures and moods. I just wonder if anyone notices the almost cowboyish nature of Nurse, and whether this implication is a realised conception or a minor thread. I guess I'm just rambling, I don't know shit about cowboys anyway, and what little I know wouldn't stand up in a serious discussion about said subject matter. Thank you for letting me use this forum space for my Sonic Life Ramblings.

And I may have been a little too late for any discussion of Sonic Nurse.

The only country feel I get from the album would be the title, Dude Ranch Nurse.

alyasa · 05.13.2006, 07:51 AM

Maybe it's just me... but then again; I get a slightly New York City, Big Apple, sophisticate mood from Murray Street.

Dude Ranch Nurse is so overtly country, it's ironically un-country. It's a postmodernmockhomage of country, even. Actually, the opening riff of Pattern Recognition is, to me, a bit like something someone from Memphis would play. The state, not the band.
