Evol album for sale Product Description

Evol album for sale by Sonic Youth was released Sep 27, 1994 on the Geffen label. On E.V.O.L. ("love" spelled backwards), Sonic Youth honed the sparkle and chaos that permeated their sound. Evol buy CD music The shimmering "Tom Violence" affirmed, not only in name, their ability to be dangerous, while the haunting "Shadow Of A Doubt" secured Kim Gordon's position as one of rock's most intriguing monologue artists. Evol songs The loping "In The Kingdom #19" invoked the beat era and Andy Warhol's "Car Crash" series ("smoke and flames, all right!"), giving the song a warped sense of originality and humor.E.V.O.L. was also the precursor to Sonic Youth's later, more pop-oriented albums, proving that beneath their white noise and art-rock posturing was a deep respect for rock's more mainstream roots. The final cut, "Bubblegum" was the perfect example. Written by Kim Fowley, the ringleader behind The Runaways, "Bubblegum" worked well with Gordon's deadpan vocal style, and proved the notion few at the time suspected: Sonic Youth knew how to rock. ...See Full Description

Great Album
This was my first Sonic Youth album, and after hearing many of the others, it's still my favorite. It's a big step from the disorieinted mess that made up Bad Moon Rising. And it's a big step toward their masterpieces, Sister and Daydream Nation. The songs sounded so beautifully hypnotic the first time I heard them. Shadow of a Doubt is my favorite track, but their all good. "In The Kingdom #19" might sound odd to conventional music listeners, but give it a chance. I reccomend this to all Sonic Youth fans who have yet to hear it, and all music fans with open minds, who want to be delighted bythe array of guitar noises that can be so noisy, yet so beautiful.
