The fifteenth and final studio album by American alternative rock band. When the band decided to record, it seemed natural to include Ibold. The process involved rehearsing the songs during the week in the basement of Moore and Gordon's house and subsequently recording them over the weekend. Shelley recalled, 'It was like having a different project every week [and] it felt like we were doing a single every weekend. You kind of have to keep on your feet, the speed aspect to this album was very enjoyable'.

Reviews"THE ETERNAL is the Youth's best album since 2002's MURRAY STREET -- the riots aren't teenage anymore, of course, but they're wisely messy and darker, newly rooted in a heavy hookiness akin to Mudhoney and the Wipers.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Opener 'Sacred Trickster' is thrillingly focused. Refreshingly, nothing outstays its welcome...", "A sort of survey course in SY history, careering from their early art-school atonality to the more melodically sophisticated compositions of later years.", "The guitar tones have rarely sounded better and new bassist Mark Ibold brings a head-turning articulation to the low end.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Thunderclap For Bobby Pyn,' a tribute to Darby Crash of The Germs, eulogises the '70s punk scene...", "They're fearless in their exploration of what it is to be human. At the end of the day, that's about the most comforting sentiment you can ask for from a rock 'n' roll record.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "When bassist Kim Gordon takes the mic, it's apparent she hasn't mellowed one iota; when she teams up with Moore, they come off as a street-tough Sonny and Cher."
