that's a very good question for which I do not have a good answer for.
I chalk it up to artistic freedom. however if that was the only kind of music that they produced, I don't think that I would have been a such a long time fan. I appreciate their ability to diversify even if I don't find myself listening to it.
I own most of the SYR series as well as the Silver Sessions, but they're only sitting on my shelf because I'm a firm believer in supporting this band. for me, these discs are good for a listen-through, but I can't really play them in the car or at work without skipping to the next random track.
I still
love Sonic Youth. yesterday, today and tomorrow (<-- hope that last bit didn't jinx it).
what I say hardly matters though, I'm devoid of good taste.
