Pitchfork: Staff Lists: Top 100 Albums of the 1980s. 20 de noviembre de 2002. En inglés: "Sister was the last time Sonic Youth spent the majority of an album in full-on Attack Mode, which explains why it's the fist-clenchers' SY album of choice. The word of the day is 'aggressive', with the album's humid production throwing a blanket over the noise to convert all instrumentation and vocalization into power-tool percussion. You can hear the clenched teeth through 'Catholic Block' and 'White Cross', the grinding machinery on 'Pacific Coast Highway'. Stranded in the midst, 'Cotton Crown' still stands as the band's most romantic moment, frustrating evidence that Thurston and Kim should've sang together far more often. Sister was the last burst of Sonic Youth's early stage before they molted and moved on to bigger labels and bigger audiences, but for those with a preference for their grainy-footage early days, it's their zenith." --Rob Mitchum
