Rather Ripped Rulez Dude
 

FACT.

Do You Need Another Fucking Thread You Twat?

Sure....thanks!

It does!

Why can't you all just shut up?

Because we care.

It's an ok album. It has more than it's share of flaws but still an enjoyable listen. You just have to know what yr looking for in it.

I'm RATHER excited about seeing the concert tomorrow night. But I won't get RIPPED....I have church in the morning!

I hope they play a lot of new songs + Kool Thing and their other hits, such as Bull in the Heather.

Yeah it's so uncool to talk about much you love Sonic Youth's new album.......not! What is this, a non-fan forum?

i will walk again

haha, I love the south park episode making fun of him and he eats fetus'

Wrong cripple!!!!!

Hah I seem to remember an episode of Dexter's Labratory where they merged Willy Wonka and Stephen Hawking. And his transportation device flew. What a great idea. They should do that in real life.

Seriously.

Rather Ripped Rules!

This is getting a bit silly now.It's not fun and it's not clever.It's simply ghastly.

Word...

It's better than I'd hoped it would be. A really great freaking record.

and that's putting it mildly people!
*irritated*

That episode of South Park is with CHRISTOPHER REEVES not Stephen Hawking.

Hahaha I love this! really! This thead and the wonderful album!

Look its the new album so oh course its gonna be talked about. And if takes one thead or a million does it really matter? I personally don't care because if it makes people happy let them be. Why this thead is interesting is because you all go to a thead that you are not interested in, to post comments saying 'No more rather ripped sucks or rules theads' (in fact some of people post theads telling people not to). Its now become a joke to piss you all off and you still dispite your disinterest you keep coming back and posting! Basic Human Psychology Dudes! Just learn the art of indifference and ignore all 'Rather Ripped is blah blah blah' theads. I personally don't care if people like it or dislike it, I do and thats all that matters....but these theads have become interesting social experiments into why people can't see the obviousness of the way humans react when u tell them not to do something

Erm......while you surely make a good point of the whole thing(got there when i was 5),the general silliness of some of these threads is that they don't exactly say much about the album apart from 'It's good' or 'It's bad'.The problem isn't that people post threads about 'Rather Ripped'(that is an obvious thing this being the creators of the album's website),the real annoyance comes at the lack of articulate discourse that most(if not all) 'Rather Ripped' thread starters bring to the table.

I take your point Porkmarras I really do! But I think its a testiment to the power of music that people get as uptight as they do and sometimes don't express themselves as well as they could do. I may like the record but outside the region of taking a casual interest in other peoples opinions on things for the sheer purpose of friendly discourse It really does not bother me what others think. Some people are under delusions that their opinion is solid fact...well thats fine too! Just don't read or comment on them, the sole reason for these theads now is to piss you off (in a friendly/semi-joke way)
But if you didnt post on them they may not keep popping up, do you know what I mean? Just move on to the next thead

We all know the SY Forum is the one of the best music forums (some are just so moronic its incredable www.ultimate-guitar.com for example or blabermouth) a few theads that in essence say the same thing is the least of our problems

I agree...I for one have stopped trying to say things about the music itself because my opinion differs so much from most here that I just get negative rep and make people angry.

So, suffice it to say...RATHER RIPPED RULES!!!!!

I know, my bad. I had that pointed out to me earlier

you mean South Park made fun of Christopher Reeves? what a dumbfuck show. i've said that since the pilot. the duh-headed simplemindedness of TV viewers (and to some extent its creators) astounds me......

and RR is an okay record. i'll at least keep it as there are several brilliant pieces. but it is not much better than my least favorite 'Dirty' or 'EJSTANS'....each having their own respective brilliant pieces.

Claiming South Park is a 'dumbfuck show' is completely unintelligent and misinformed. South Park uses some of the smartest ways of portraying current issues as jokes. You are a dumbfuck.

Yeah, it does that, and it's funny. And it makes fun of everything equally. But it doesn't exactly have a point or a valid message.

Not really a CLEAR point or message but I like to think there is something if you listen.

The creators are self-professed Libertarians, and it comes through in the show. I think it's a decent show; pretty funny.

It does!

Rather Ripped is excellent....My attitude toward Pink Steam has totally changed. I used to think of it as a weak song, but now I see a lot of emotion in it...In fact, I would say that the album is very honest and open emotionally....I can't imagine rough, coarse, dimwit hooligans getting this album...you know, people like assblaster.

Most rough, coarse, dimwit hooligans don't listen to Sonic Youth in the first place. They usually listen to Guns and Roses or some other shitty metal band. But I lnow what you mean. Sonic Youth is largely for those with some intelligence and insight into truly good music.

Totally! Thats why people think Sonic Youth fans are snobs (I know a few metalheads and they hate SY fans even more than the music), but its true...like I said compare this forum to Blabbermouth or Ultimate-Guitar they are battlegrounds that kind of prove the point. Im not trying to be elitist or anything but I think SY's music takes a bit of personal investment that most people aren't willing to do. Works like 'Rather Ripped' or to a greater extent 'Daydream Nation' and 'Goo' take repeated listens before they reveil their beauty to you.

South Park has an episode about how the Church of Later-day Saints (Mormons) is the stupidest religion on earth... enough said.

Dear God, please grant me the strength to stop clicking on this crap.

Ah, a typical day on the Sonic Youth board...
There's honestly nothing better to do than sit down after a long day of work and listen to my playlist on random reading about whether south park has humoristic value

hey inhuman, what is that thing on your signature? it lists songs.

The bickering that goes through what look like hundreads of threads can be a bit oppressive not to say downright fucking annoying.Grow up you little shits.

Accidentally Saul Williams's 'Black Stacey' is a fine tune.

It lists the last 3 songs that I listened to on my computer, and updates automatically :)
