Sonic Youth made their first moves toward rock with EVOL, a stunningly fluent
mixture of avant-garde instrumentation and subversions of rock & roll.
The band benefits greatly from the addition of structure, which gives its aural
experiments a firm grounding, but the addition of drummer Steve Shelley
is essential to the group's new, dangerous edge. With the added propulsion,
the fearless rush of "Expressway to Yr Skull" (aka "Madonna, Sean and Me")
and the near-pop of "Green Light" are undeniably powerful as are
the eerie textures of "Shadow of a Doubt."...(AllMusicGuide)

"EVOL" was Sonic Youth's fourth album, significant for one fairly obvious reason:
the addition of Steve Shelley behind the kit. Steve joined the band in mid 1985,
and this is the first album he plays on. EVOL also features the first real
"guest appearance" on a Sonic Youth album -- Mike Watt, who contributes bass
to "In The Kingdom #19" and the non-LP bonus track "Bubblegum".
"Shadow Of A Doubt" became their second music video...(SonicYouthHomepage)
