Take some inventory, Sonic Youth. You may have discovered Nirvana and changed the face of modern music with your experimental riffs, but there are no ponies on the track. For my money, this new collection of songs has all the textured rock anthems I need, but it has to be reissued with new cover art that shows the band can still relate to the youth market via haircuts. Ponytail haircuts. Sonic Nurse is a superb rock record, genius even. But until those fuckers grow 'tails, I'm gonna have to give it negative 16 stars. -- Todd Lamb
