![]() Sonic Youth – Dirty (1992/2016)
Dirty was the band’s seventh studio album recorded with producer Butch Vig and engineer Andy Wallace, spawning the singles “100%,” “Youth Against Fascism” and “Sugar Kane”. Rolling Stone declares “Dirty is a great Sonic Youth disc, easily ranking with Daydream Nation and Sister among the band’s most unified and unforgettable recorded works”.
When DGC Records signed Nirvana in 1991, one of DGC’s A&R reps expressed the opinion that, with plenty of touring and the right promotion, the new act might sell as well as its labelmate and touring partner Sonic Youth. The surprise success of Nevermind upended previous commercial expectations for Sonic Youth (among other established alternative rock bands), and when Dirty was released in 1992, it was seen by many as the band’s big move toward the grunge market. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense if you actually listen to the album; while Butch Vig’s clean but full-bodied production certainly gave Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo’s guitars greater punch and presence than they had in the past, and many of the songs move in the increasingly tuneful direction the band had been traveling with Daydream Nation and Goo, most of Dirty is good bit more jagged and purposefully discordant than its immediate precursors, lacking the same hallucinatory grace as Daydream Nation or the hard rock sheen of Goo. If anything, Dirty finds Sonic Youth revisiting the territory the band mapped out on Sister – merging the propulsive structures of rock (both punk and otherwise) with the gorgeous chaos of their approach to the electric guitar – and it shows how much better they’d gotten at it in the past five years, from the curiously beautiful “Wish Fulfillment” and “Theresa’s Sound World” to the brutal “Drunken Butterfly” and “Purr.” Dirty was also Sonic Youth’s most overtly political album, railing against the abuses of the Reagan/Bush era on “Youth Against Fascism,” “Swimsuit Issue,” and “Chapel Hill,” a surprising move from a band so often in love with cryptic irony. Heard today, Dirty doesn’t sound like a masterpiece (like Daydream Nation) or a gesture toward the mainstream audience (like Goo) – it just sounds like a damn good rock album, and on those terms it ranks with Sonic Youth’s best work.

Smart Bar Chicago 1985 is a live album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released on November 13, 2012, on Goofin' Records.

Release[edit]
Smart Bar Chicago 1985 was released on November 13, 2012, on Goofin' Records. It was announced for release on September 10 on the band's official web site[1] and 'Intro'/'Brave Men Run' was made available for streaming on YouTube on October 15.[2][3] The album was issued on CD, double LP and as a digital download from online retailers. Upon its release, it charted in Belgium, peaking at No. 182 on Wallonia's Ultratop chart.[4]
Reception[edit]
Upon its release, Smart Bar Chicago 1985 received positive acclaim from critics. AllMusic reviewer Fred Thomas awarded it 4.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, 'The band sounds locked into a collective meditation for much of the set, stringing together the long and discordant segments of songs into a mostly uninterrupted hour and change of sound.' Thomas later added, 'Without besting the album versions, almost every song here offers a more vivid, more extreme counterpoint to its better-known studio side' and summarized the album as 'unpolished, tormented, hungry, and constantly threatening to crumble into godless noise.'[5] Writing for Drowned in Sound, Noel Gardner said, 'On 'Brave Men Run (In My Family)', [Steve] Shelley elevates it with a near-classic rock fluidity to his playing [...] 'I Love Her All the Time' feels like a Moore vehicle, much like on record, but has great gobs of anti-rock no wave atmos; 'Ghost Bitch' is considerably more abrasive here, [Kim] Gordon sounding less like a coffee house poet than an untamed punk vocalist—Penelope Houston, say.' Gardner rated the album 7 out of 10 and summarized: 'Smart Bar – Chicago 1985 is not going to change perceptions of either Sonic Youth or live albums: it's a decent recording strictly for fans.' Describing the album as 'a taste of glories to come', Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield awarded the album 3.5 out of 5 stars and noted 'Expressway to Yr Skull' and 'Secret Girl' as highlights, adding, 'The peak is the early ballad 'I Love Her All the Time'—noisy, emotionally alive, jittery with excitement for the future.'[7] In his review in Smart Bar Chicago 1985's liner notes, Aaron Mullan referred to the album as 'brilliant' and the show itself as 'a killer show.' He added, 'The material is also so visceral and improvisatory that it greatly benefits from the additional perspective offered by a live recording.'[8]
