Sonic Youth - Dirty

150-gram double LP reissue

Newly remastered from the original stereo analog masters

Weirdly enough, Dirty was considered Sonic Youth’s shiny "commercial" pop album upon release in 1992. And, with a Nevermind-era Butch Vig noticeably fattening up the New York noiseniks' singular guitar sprawl, and the singles "100%," "Sugar Kane," and "Youth Against Fascism" briefly dovetailing with grunge-era mainstream tastes, it kind of was. The radio-ready mix only makes this the most muscular-sounding entry in the band's hallowed canon, however, and Dirty still seethes with unholy noise to make your spine and synapses tingle as only Sonic Youth can.
