Review

Rolling Stone (p.74) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]ts tunings keep it honest and its anthems keep it thrilling."

Q (7/96, p.144) - 3 Stars - Good - "...regarded by many as the Youth's greatest work....DAYDREAM NATION...contain[s] the glorious, Nirvana-predicting 'Teen Age Riot'..."
Uncut (p.94) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[An] avant-rock masterpiece....If it had been recorded yesterday, DAYDREAM NATION would still sound revolutionary."
Alternative Press (7/95, p.89) - Rated #51 in AP's list of the 'Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...Sonic Youth's most focused, fully-realized work. This [is] the document of a band at the height of their powers, distilling every lesson they [have] learned in guitar terrorism, songwriting, rock action, and shattering conventions into a sustained series of electrical shocks..."

Melody Maker (5/4/96, p.58) - "...The mid-period Sonic LPs, specifically SISTER and DAYDREAM NATION, are generally regarded as their most fully realised..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.50) - "[The album] opened the floodgates for acolytes such as Nirvana....You can practically hear the '90s being invented..."

Title Note

Sonic Youth: Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo (vocals, guitar); Kim Gordon (vocals, bass); Steve Shelley (drums).

Recorded at Greene Street Recording, New York, New York in July and August 1988. Originally released as a 2-LP set on Enigma (5403). Includes liner notes by Jutta Koether.

Sonic Youth: Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, Steve Shelley, Thurston Moore.

The double album that brought Sonic Youth to the attention of a wider audience and prompted the eager interest of a handful of major labels. DAYDREAM NATION, with its sleepy single candle flickering silently on the gatefold cover, harnessed their reckless live favourite, "Teenage Riot," while they ran gloriously roughshod over "Rain King" and "Silver Rocket," and offered the overtly camp glee of "Trilogy," which came with parts a, b and c. Their assured ascension to festival billing and the giant Geffen label came as no surprise to anyone who had heard this album.
