Query: worst excuse for art I've ever encountered.

I own two albums by this artist (not three, this one's in a landfill somewhere). I respect Sonic Youth, don't get me wrong, but I've got to tell you... My three-year old sister could get together with her sandbox playmates and produce a more powerful musical statement than this album generates. This is very weak material in every sense of the word. Weak and very, very, very bad-sounding. Even SY diehards, my advice to you is to look elsewhere.
