Sonic Youth - SYR series - batch review

Not sure what I would rate these. Probably all 7 (B+), except for SYR4, which would be a negative. I have 1-3, all of which are EPs.

SYR1: Anagrama [EP]

SYR2: Slaapkamers met slagroom [EP]

SYR3: Invito al ĉielo [EP]

SYR4: Goodbye 20th Century [3.5 listens]

The Pitchfork review which gives SYR4 an 8.5 (high A-) is pretentious twaddle. On one hand it describes it as "music that is not supposed to be enjoyed so much as to be endured." WTF? And then it ends with this insufferable, cliched, completely contradictory and self-congratulatory condescension: "But if all you hear is dissonance and feedback and Kim Gordon's hot, ghostly musings, you're not listening." Right, the problem is ours if our "tastes" don't match yours? [The half listen is a final listen, after 3 full listens, where, when an annoying, stupid song starts and has a 10 minute running time, I would skip to the next one at the halfway point. This is something I've never done before, but since this is 1:45 long (!)....]
