A fabulous exercise in extremes. Karen Revisited begins as a gorgeous, bittersweet song about nostalgia, sung by Lee Ranaldo, that has something of mids folk-rock about its melody. The critic David Fricke once suggested that, at full pelt, Sonic Youth sounded like a New York subway train screaming into a station: the ferocious improvised middle section of Silver Rocket proves his point.
It also rocks. The overall effect is mind-blowing. Also variously known as The Crucifixion of Sean Penn or Madonna, Sean and Me, the closing track on Evol remains one of the greatest things Sonic Youth recorded: a hypnotic, surging, euphoric song that gradually dissolves into oddly becalmed, droning noise.
Had it been released a few years later, it would have been a huge, possibly over-familiar hit: as it is, it still sounds utterly fresh and vital.
