I do actually. I don't pretend to have the listening chops to truly appreciate what Sonic Youth were doing in their early days (though Confusion Is Sex is my fav SY album) but I still gather some of the gist of it. "Freezer Burn/I Wanna Be Your Dog" is something truly immediate that clicks with me far easier, both in the intensity of the performance and Freezer Burn lulling you into a false sense of security as a way of presenting the song in a way that is confrontational, and I think that's a great way of getting a plebe like me to pay more attention than I might otherwise. Probably the greatest gateway track to experimental music I've ever heard.
