Released in 2006, Rather Ripped is one of Sonic Youth’s most accessible and melodic albums, favoring concise, guitar-driven songs with pop sensibilities over their usual experimental sprawl. It was their final album with Geffen Records and marked a subtle farewell to the noise and chaos of earlier works, embracing introspection, sleek production, and a cleaner, hookier approach.
