Like the best jazz musicians, Sonic Youth have turned their love for experimental rock into a habit; perhaps more so than any other band, they've transcended the temporality of quality output in rock music.

 Sonic Youth - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music
Sonic Youth's accomplishments are vast and thus difficult to boil down to a single sentence, but here's a stab: SY took the abstract, often cerebral experimentalism of academic music and avant-garde jazz and made it punk.
Surprisingly slim by Sonic Youth standards at only seven songs, Murray Street is to the band's late '90s' output as Goo was to their late '80s output, consolidating the reflective ambient rock sprawl of recent years into tight, focused song-based pieces marked by surprisingly crisp, mellow guitar work and only occasional fireworks.
Looking back at Sonic Youth's career, it makes sense that the group took this path; back in 1981 when they were just getting started, they were four bold, intelligent personalities jointly influenced by the avant-garde leanings of New York no wave and the aggression of hardcore punk.

 Sonic Youth: Sonic Nurse (2004): Reviews
What emerges is Sonic Youth at complete ease with themselves and their music, operating simultaneously at the peak of their powers and with a powerful, audacious restraint.
All told, this album is probably the band's best balance of pop melodies and avant-leaning structures since Washing Machine; even if it doesn't rank among their most ambitious work, Sonic Nurse sounds like the kind of album Sonic Youth should be making at this point in their career.
The emphasis this time around is on poppier melodies, but for all its attention to song form, Sonic Nurse feels more like a collection of exercises than a cohesive album.

 Sonic Youth: Daydream Nation ---Ink Blot Magazine
In 1988 Sonic Youth released Daydream Nation, a double-album that spreads itself across a musical landscape as vast and pacific as jazz, and as energetic as punk rock.
The interplay of distortion, echoing guitar chords, and heartbeats on the drums on tracks like "Total Trash" disfigure, contort and replace any conceptions of rock that a listener might have.
As a whole, the record plays as a cohesive fusion of spontaneity and patterned sonic progression.

 Amazon.com: Sonic Nurse: Music: Sonic Youth
Sonic Youth is indeed a band that has racked up the years as they continue to throw out album after album.
Practically Sonic Youth concentrate, the disc manages to sound like a distillation of the band's career and a promise that they can keep doing this forever.
This would be album 13 by the greatest rock band of the last 25 years (that is, "major" albums, as opposed to EPs, live albums, best-of's, SYR releases, side/solo projects and various other sonic effluvia).

 TrouserPress.com :: Sonic Youth
The use of acoustic guitar on the opening "Winner's Blues" is a first on a Sonic Youth record and establishes the disc's more intimate tone.
Sonically akin to Metal Machine Music, with plenty of fuzzy drones and repetitious sounds of various descriptions, each short track (most under a minute) ends with a lock groove (the cassette version achieves the same effect by inserting extended pauses between numbers), so they can actually be very long tracks if you want.
Sonic Death is a compilation of poorly recorded live performances.

After signing with Geffen — the label for which the band still records — Sonic Youth released first Goo and then the Butch Vig-produced Dirty, two more commercial albums that brought a bit more mainstream attention, but which also produced internal tensions within the band and criticisms from the band's staunchest fans.
Although it sometimes seems that Sonic Youth is able to operate totally independent of the industry itself, you're still musicians who are earning a living from music, so you're in the business to some degree.
Bursting on the scene in 1981, heavily influenced by the experimental music of Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth quickly became known for their wild, energetic live shows and a strong emphasis on sound textures.

 Morphizm.com -- Sonic Youth's Murray Street
Your grandfather's Sonic Youth is back -- kinda -- with their latest offering, Murray Street, which is both a paean to Manhattan cultural history and the next millenium aural pyrotechnics that the band more or less invented in the late '80s/early '90s on classic releases like Daydream Nation and Sister.
Most of the songs begin with a comfortable volume, notes tinkling in from the guitars of Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, or the permanently-added Jim O'Rourke like raindrops on the studio roof.
Whether they're curating All Tomorrow's Parties, tweaking conventions in any of their many side projects, or simply putting together another release (Murray Street is their sixteenth), Sonic Youth has always been more about engaging all of your senses and sensibilities than just simply rocking the mike, although they do that exceedingly well, too.
