"Rather Ripped" by Sonic Youth might have hinted at a departure, especially after losing Jim O'Rourke and recovering their custom guitars, but the album complements the tones of "Murray Street" and "Sonic Nurse". Kim Gordon shines with hits like "Reena" and "Jams Run Free," while Thurston Moore's "Do You Believe in Rapture?" delicately balances politics with serenity. The album, while being streamlined in its song structures, captivates with atmospheric tracks like "Lights Out." Even if it slightly lags in songwriting, it showcases Sonic Youth's enduring creative spirit. Dive into their refined sound with the 2016 LP re-release.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.

Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.

If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.

After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.

Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
