Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered reissue. Originally slated to be a seven-inch single to follow up their self-titled debut, Sonic Youth 's Confusion Is Sex blossomed into the band's first album: a brain-bludgeoning, completely fried endeavor of dissonance and disarray, a perfect soundtrack for running from a chain-wielding gang near the SIN Club. This was the sound of 1983 New York City: nothing like London where punks were starting to scrub their faces and sounds to get on Top of the Pops, and nothing like the jangly roots of college radio rock starting to formulate in Athens, Georgia. It sounded like no one else on Earth, for that matter. The raw, Wharton Tiers 8-track production is dark, the Kim Gordon-scrawled cover figure art of Thurston Moore is dark, Lee Ranaldo 's back cover photo-collage and Catherine Ceresole 's crumpled-xeroxed images that adorned the inside are dark. It's an album that moves Sonic Youth forward from their first EP almost by devolving backwards into true ugly, lo-fi primitivity. The bare-boned arsenal of junkpile guitars and implementation of alternate tunings was growing, and so were the songs that matched the individual attributes of each instrument: certain ones groan and growl a specific way that the band started to realize itself could become the compositional germ of a song. Herein is the threshold of a new explosion of the band's creativity, replacing the comparatively cleaner buzz of the Sonic Youth EP with guitars that spew fractured, uglier chunks of sound everywhere, held down by menacing minimalist basslines and the brutal-yet-controlled metronomic drumming. While it's confrontationalism might have put off some critics, time has rewarded Confusion with a truly distinctive air and atmosphere in the Sonic discography, enough to have Moore declare it his fave along with the band's swan-song The Eternal.

HIGH waist, correct sizing, ok fabric...NOT SEE THRU!! Cool pants though!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Deep Khaki
If it's a few inches ABOVE my belly button, inseam is correct... but then MED is SUPER baggy in the butt (I have a small butt maybe?) WELL MADE! NOT see thru!! Fabric is kind of stiff, BUT because it's a linen blend, may be beneficial for less wrinkles? 😃 Probably improve if washed. Also tried the small, belly/butt area is better, but super high and a little tight on me. NO off gassing 👏👏👏 Super versatile (dress up or down) Good price.

70%linen, 30% cotton pants
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki
Linen cotton blend, soft & not see through. I'm 5'4" & 157 lbs, ordered a XL size & they fit perfectly, just a but long. Took me 8-10 minutes to hem, & now they are my go-to summer pants! Elastic + drawstring waist & wide legs look very stylish. I'm very pleased, will probably order more in a different color. I love the natural linen color, but since I see fabric thickness will try in white since summers where I live are triple-digits.
GREAT PANTS for the price!

These are so-so
Good fit (I’m 5’8”, 215 pounds, and got an XL), cool and light fabric. I wore them on a recent trip to Walt Disney World, and they held up pretty well. They do get wrinkled easily, though, and I was somewhat dismayed to find that the fabric pilled badly in the crotch area (see photo). This was after only one laundering and one vacation where I wore them maybe three days. 😒 I have a feeling that they won’t last for more than one summer season. I expected better for the money, honestly.

Read the size guide!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Khaki
Got the light khaki Large. I am 5'7" and 180#'s. Loved the sturdy yet breathable material and the color. But too small. READ THE SIZE GUIDE! I didn't, and now I have to return and reorder.
OK. Got the right size. Love 'em. Comfort and fit are great. Not crazy about having to line dry, but it's the price one pays for having natural fabrics.

RED & BLACK PANTS BLEED WHEN DRY AND WILL RUIN WHATEVER THEY TOUCH
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Wine
These are very cute and flattering pants, but the first I wore them they turned everything they touched pink. The tops of my sneakers where they touched are now pink. The case of my cell phone that I slipped into my back pocket is now permanently pink. Apparently this is called “crocking” and occurs because there is a heavy excess of "unbound" dye on the surface of the fibers that was never properly rinsed or set during manufacturing. To fix this, I’ll have to go through a two-step process to strip away the excess surface dye and then chemically "lock" what remains. The needed specialized detergent and fixative products will cost another $20 (not to mention the pink sneakers and phone case). The process will take a couple of hours. I suspect the same dry bleeding would happen with other dark colors of these pants. Save yourself the hassle and buy a better, pricier pant in the first place. It’s very disappointing because they fit is great. They do stretch a size or two in the butt and thighs but the waist doesn’t stretch, which is good.
