NYC's own Sonic Youth formed in 1981 and right away they affiliated themselves with the No Wave movement. They're debut album was recorded with a low budget but still showcased they're proto-Noise Rock and Alternative Rock potential by redefining what an electric guitar can do thru unusual tuning methods.
Being truly honest, the album is all over the place, the singing is somehow out of tune, the whole recording sounds improvised; it is an experimental mess. However, within it lies some sort of hidden dark power that without permission grabs your attention and obliges you to think and try to understand the message behind it. It is not a message of hope, it is a message of despair; an indicator that pop ruined all and that they’re just trying to rebuild from the ground up a body of work from a dismembered and rotten corpse.
