Reviews
3 Stars - Good - "...it's not full-blooded punk as some might expect but more spacy, eerie, meandering dynamics, rife with atonal tunings and anxious vocals, true to the band's original avant-garde, minimalist influences....the sound of confused, sexy, bratty, novel, experimental, attitude-ridden New York with guitar-knobs on.", "...CONFUSION IS SEX is Sonic Youth's funniest, hardest-rocking, and most underrated album ever..." - Rating: A-, 8 - Very Good - "...stands as the great document of early Sonic Youth.
