Not to sound too negative: I did really like that "mission control to brain police" line/chorus. It must be good if it worked from only one teeny clip -- usually a chorus hook takes a few hearings to click.
And in fairness, I do think the album will be really, really good. In fact I would argue that Sonic Youth have never released a geniunely bad album (although some are far better than others, obv.).
Rather Ripped gets bashed quite a lot, but Pink Steam was one of the most gorgeous things the band have ever done. I just wish there had been more in that vein, rather than the likes of What a Waste.
