It's more 'worship your idols' than kill them, at this stage.

Agree with this one hundred per cent, also with Genteel's comment about it being ironic that Body/Head is some of the best post SY music whilst this is the worst.
It's just these stock trap style beats that I really struggle with, and even the guitar noise sounds a bit stock, lacking that wild unhinged quality Sonic Youth had.
There's better ways to combine noise with beats. See Merzbuddha, Demdyke Stare, Autechre, Wolf Eyes, Macronympha live at No Fun Fest for a few examples.
Also, the list thing at the end of the song has already been done in the Bedroom and Side2Side. It didn't really work then and it doesn't really work now.
