Reviews"...The mid-period Sonic LPs, specifically SISTER and DAYDREAM NATION, are generally regarded as their most fully realised...", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Widely hailed as Sonic Youth's masterpiece....DAYDREAM NATION was a lean, graceful blast of subcultural New York writ large...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "In terms of badass sonics and sentiments, perhaps the greatest art-punk statement ever.", 3 Stars - Good - "...regarded by many as the Youth's greatest work....DAYDREAM NATION...contains the glorious, Nirvana-predicting 'Teen Age Riot'...", "...this music is hitting me right where I live...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Its tunings keep it honest and its anthems keep it thrilling.", 3.5 Stars - Very Good - Ranked #45 in Rolling Stone's '100 Greatest Albums Of The 80s' survey., 5 stars out of 5 -- "An avant-rock masterpiece....If it had been recorded yesterday, DAYDREAM NATION would still sound revolutionary.", Rated #51 in AP's list of the 'Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...Sonic Youth's most focused, fully-realized work.
