Tomorrow Never Comes&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4:30<br><br>Release Notes:<br>--------<br>There抯 always been that air of expectancy around a new Sonic Youth album which,<br>for many, at least partly focused on the prospect of Lee Ranaldo grabbing some<br>rare microphone time from his spotlight-hogging bandmates and delivering another<br>In the Kingdom #19 or Eric抯 Trip. But one track per album was never, ever,<br>enough. Thurston kept writing songs, though sometimes we wished he didn抰, but<br>we wanted Lee to write some too. Well, now he has.<br><br>While those earliest examples of Ranaldo抯 craft bristle and burn with his<br>unique marriage of feral guitar squall and post-beat prose, it抯 to later SY<br>classics such as Murray Street抯 Karen Revisited that we find the precursors for<br>much of Between the Times and the Tides. The Byrds, Neil Young and R.E.M. are<br>the inspirational touchstones here, rather than the abstractions of No Wave and<br>the dissonant overloads of Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham. The opening Waiting on<br>a Dream even sprawls out on the riff from The Rolling Stones?Paint it Black<br>before encrypting some epic highway scenes, the asphalt arteries of America<br>opening up like an overused metaphor for freedom and hope. It sounds like a<br>doughnut pumped full of cheese, but, somehow, Ranaldo makes it work.<br><br>It抯 a familiar pattern: flaws which initially seem awkward begin to make<br>perfect sense after a few listens. That Fire Island (Phases) manages neat<br>transition from a domesticated rewrite of The Dead C抯 Scary Nest to a lap steel<br>lovin?honky tonk without batting an eye is a marvellous case in point. And<br>while Stranded抯 lyrics are a little clunky ("Don抰 want to throw a wrench in<br>the works / But this whole town here is full of jerks / If a cloud is in your<br>eye / I抣l remove it from the sky") it remains a touchingly poignant psychedelic<br>hymnal in the vein of Damon &amp; Naomi, with guest guitarist Nels Cline artfully<br>filling in for Michio Kurihara.<br><br>Naturally, the influence of Sonic Youth pervades, with Angels?strident,<br>chopping chords sounding like a prime cut from Goo despite the vamping presence<br>of John Medeski抯 keys. Ranaldo抯 partner Leah Singer reels out a stream of<br>consciousness monologue during Shout抯 tumultuous mid-section that recalls a<br>peaceable visitation on some of the freak-outs from EVOL.<br><br>But despite this mildest of flirtations with discordance, Between the Times and<br>the Tides cruises pretty straight, especially for those expecting an unbridled<br>dose of experimentation from a string-slinger well known for his endless<br>collaborations with free jazzers and noise conceptualists. But once you get over<br>the initial shock, and some negligible lyrical lumber, you抮e left with one<br>mighty fine rock 'n" roll record.<br><br><a href="http://115.com/file/dpq8k9pa#">http://115.com/file/dpq8k9pa#</a><br><br><br><br>
