Simply put, Daydream Nation is one of the greatest things that mankind has done since the Renaissance. Sonic Youth's sixth album, speaks to the angry/angsty/literary teenage in all of us. This beautiful epic of awesome music weaved with the band's characteristic noise opens with the universal anthem 'Teenage Riot' a perfect blend of an unforgettable musical melody and lyrics to match. Through the rest of the album's seventy minutes, we are taken through an eight minute rage dump of 'The Sprawl' to the lurid phrases of 'Candle' and ending with the fourteen minute 'Trilogy'.

While there is a stereotype of Sonic Youth albums being nothing hour long noise fests, Daydream Nation is one of several exceptions.
