I definitely agree with unwound. Leaves Turn, Repetition and Fake Train are a step above the others but they're all at least "good".

Leaves is their only good album

The rest is generic as fuck and just plain dull

Fucking fite me irl. Not a single bad album. Even their "worst" is easily a 6/10.

I don't entirely agree with him but they did have weak albums (NYC Ghosts and Flowers)

Cat Power was my waifu through the 90s and early 2000s. Not now though :( Also The Greatest is criminally underrated.

he probably hasn't even listened to half of sonic youth

But NYC Ghosts & Flowers is better than all of their 90s albums.

>>60946538
This is true. People like to gloss over the fact that they released an album through Starbucks. Star. Bucks. Seriously guys, come on.
>>
>>60946658
how
obviously I haven't heard their whole discographies but I've sure heard at least one album from them that I thought it was bad

Starbucks has legit released good compilation albums though.
Sonic Youth might have made misteps in their career, but their SYR series after Daydream Nation were still good.

which ones specifically? name the bad fugazi and converge, melvins and zappa albums. and explain why without using buzzwords

i don't think they have a pristine discog, but the ratio of good to bad is still pretty impressive considering how much they've put out.
