Thurston Moore
\nThe Best Day
\n<\/i>(Matador)
\n2\/5<\/p>\n

Thurston Moore, best known for being the guitarist of the now-defunct New York alternative rock band Sonic Youth, has been releasing solo records since 1995. His latest release, The Best Day<\/i>, falls flat on finding just exactly what it wants to be.<\/p>\n

A majority of the songs on this record seem to be either trying too hard or not trying at all. I just find myself wanting to go back to classic Sonic Youth albums like Daydream Nation<\/i> and Goo<\/i> when listening to The Best Day.<\/i><\/p>\n

The album doesn\u2019t offer anything substantially new or exciting for the listener. That being said, it\u2019s still a fun record with good guitar riffs, and bass lines, and, of course, Moore\u2019s incredible vocals.<\/p>\n

If you have never heard Thurston Moore\u2019s work, I would recommend starting with the aforementioned Sonic Youth albums. This solo release, however, is disappointing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
