nice old school kind of music. The squall of feedback that opens Dirty is an aural f@?k-you to the people who yelled “sell-out!” at the news of SY working with Vig. The song, “100%,” finds Sonic Youth sounding more like rock stars than ever, complete with dramatic breaks and leader Thurston Moore sneering lines like “I’ve been ‘round the world a million times/and all you men are slime”. Dirty is the closest thing Sonic Youth will ever have to a party record—sexy, cool, and surprisingly confident. The one justification for this album being Sonic Youth’s most accessible is not in the production or the length of the songs, but more in the attitude and the lyrics.

This is probably my least favorite Sonic Youth album but I like everything they do so that's not saying much. What keeps this one slightly below the curve is the front and center grunge sound. I realize that this was done in 1992 but that almost makes it sound trendy and we all know that these guys are not one of those mainstream appeal to the masses type bands. 4 Stars.
CD works perfectly.
