wow, Dirty quickly went from an Sonic Youth album that I always assumed was not very good to one of my favorites. It's not as chaotic as Daydream Nation or Goo, and it's not as pretty as A Thousand Leaves, and it isn't even as defining as Murray Street or Sonic Nurse. So yeah, that puts five other albums above it, but sometimes I can't handle the noise, and sometimes the tameness of A Thousand Leaves isn't enough. So, it's nice for when I want a good mix.
