tunic: don't particularly like the video and not too hot on the lyrics, but love the song.
titanium expose: possibly the only sonic youth song that bothers me. i just can't get past what i perceive to be an awful main riff. it sounds more like a guitar exercise than a valid melody. the rest of the song is good, especially the powerful chord parts and vocal interchanges, but i would have prefered they closed with cinderella's big score.
it would have been less closure, but it would have driven home the point of cinderella's big score (and the album in general) perfectly. to finish such a conflicting album on such a 'high' track just seems pointless to me. the album needed a closing track that was full of love, despair, anger and loss i.e. cinderella's big score.
i don't think titanium expose belongs on this album; the fact that it is and it's positioning in the flow of the album perhaps helps to explains scooter and jinx a little bit better. maybe the label had hoped to make this a single or wanted some filler (6.30 min), i dunno - just doesn't smell right.
i always finish my listen of goo after cinderella's big score, it makes perfect (if short) sense that way.
