Rather Ripped is the 14th studio album by the American experimental rock band Sonic Youth, released on June 13, 2006 by Geffen Records. It is the band’s first album after the departure of multi-instrumentalist Jim O’Rourke, who joined the group as a fifth member in 1999. Unlike it’s immediate predecessors, the album was produced by John Agnello and recorded at Sear Sound in New York City, the same studio where the band’s 1994 album Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star was recorded. It also completed Sonic Youth’s contract with Geffen, which released the band’s previous eight records. – Rather Ripped is generally considered one of the band’s most accessible albums, featuring an abundance of concise and catchy songs that deal with melancholic topics about adultery, sexual frustration and infidelity.
