http://www.cosmik.com/aaa-debris/reviews/040131_review_spraydog.html It is surprising to me, in light of how popular and influential Sonic Youth is, that more bands don't strive toward something resembling their droning art of sonic orchestration. The clones of bands lauding Kim and Thurston are many, but those trying to reach that are few. Although Spraydog's album, Lines Are Drawn Only by the Eye, doesn't sound anything like the experimental SYR Musical Perspectives series, it does resemble albums like Washing Machine when the slop and feedback still conformed to the loose structure of "rock songs." I'm not sure if too many people would agree with me (in fact, I can also hear the arguments for Dinosaur Jr.) but often times, my first impression is best. (C) 2004 - Erick Mertz
