question: does anyone think "The Weirdness" will ever qualify for this thread? it certainly has the first half of the requirements down pat.
"Pinkerton" albums.
I still don't think it's that brutally awful. I mean, I'd probably listen to it once for every 4,000 times I'd listen to any of the other 3 albums, but still, it's not like it's unlistenable.
I think it's more of a by-product of the hype, like Relaxer said. (Albini + Iggy + Stooges) x 30 years = Letdown City, no matter what the disc sounded like.

Sorry man. I love the shit out of this band but this album isn't their strongest effort.

That was definitely a low point for Sonic Youth. I wasn't really into "A Thousand Leaves" either. Their last few records have been a very positive step in the right direction though. I love "Murray Street" and "Rather Ripped".
