Kept thinking - before it came out - that Purple On Time would be their "Evol" and breakthrough, but after months and months of trying, I can't hear it as anything but 3-4 great songs (esp. Tan Loves Blue) attached to some semi-interesting filler. Like many, I blame the drummer, possibly incorrectly. Always hated Steve Shelley too, but it took him three albums to really ruin Sonic Youth.
(Incidentally, emusic has a post-POT live album, but it's kind of meh.)

i had a dream last nite where i was gonna give this album to thurston moore, to show him actually interesting guitar rock. in order to curb his hackneyed-ass trajectory. he was like, in town, riding bicycles around with my parents.

caused by hearing "the best day" in a tobacco shop last night, on the local radio. and google image searching the cover for acre thrills right before bed

Unfortunately they seem a case of an act quietly coming to end of a natural life (for the members I suppose at least)
