Great review, I agree about cutting out 'Eliminator Jr., it sounds so out of place.
My personal favorite moment is in my favorite SY song, "Total Trash", when the perfect poppy guitar hook slowly begins to degrade into out of tune guitars and blasts of noise, only to slowly return to it's original form, only slightly slower. Sonic Youth attempted to be more accessible after 'Daydream', but to this day, (I own Sister, Goo, and Dirty) It's been the easiest Youth album to fall in love with.
