Introspective and graceful. Two words I'd not ordinarily associate with Sonic Youth (barring "Sweet Shine" and "Winner's Blues"). But this album is both in droves. Pure night music. A forever favorite.

Crazy that a band was able to put out a 10/10 album in their 3rd decade as artists. This has a little bit of everything in it.

Excellent late period release... if it weren't for Sister, I'd say this is their best album.

It seems to just get better and better with age. I said previously it's "still not amazing", but I don't feel that way any more. It is amazing. Fertile and resolute.

Listening this album after the Holy Trinity of the 80's makes me realize that this album is a perfect accessible album!

I listen to this album after I've been to the gym, that's when I'm feeling Rather Ripped.

Rather Ripped was never my fav. SY album. I listened just few times in this past six years. But this week I decided to give this record another chance and I hate myself how i've missed this jewel for such long time. "Sleepin' Aroung" is unbelievable amazing! I loved to listening the guitar tunnings so clearly. Please come back SY. <3

This has taken years to grow on me. It's still not amazing, but at least it's highly listenable.

How can you not like Dirty? It's crazy and has some amazing guitar work... sounds like nothing else, then again that goes for Sonic Youth in general.

It's a good record, not in the same league as the 5 that preceded it, but still far superior to Dirty and EJS. It's actually the perfect record to walk around the city on a sunny morning...

Spiritualy speaking, after a few more listens 4 years later, I think I've upgraded this album from quite good to great.
