New album is awesome. Go and get it. Rather Ripped is awesome too.
Murray Street is my favorite. Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style and Karen Revisited are probably their best songs.
Some of the early early stuff like Confusion is Sex and Bad Moon Rising are silly and a bit pointless, SY themselves have acknowledge those albums of being more of "statements" then music really (they did come up during the "No-Wave" movement). But that's not to say a few very awesome songs pop up in the middle of those albums. Washing Machine is a bit of a snoozer for me. But other than that the band, when they hit their stride, they are transcendent.
