Uh, while not a particularly spectacular album name, 'The Eternal' is pretty much on the same plane as all of the others. I mean, since when has Sonic Youth had notably good album names?
'Confusion is Sex,' 'Bad Moon Rising,' 'Evol', 'Sister,' 'Dirty,' 'Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star,' 'Washing Machine,' 'Murray Street,' 'Sonic Nurse,' and 'Rather Ripped' are all equally mediocre album titles, some a little better, although most worse. 'The Eternal' would acually be their best album title in almost ten years.
The only album titles that I like are 'Kill Yr Idols' (not an album), 'Daydream Nation,' 'Goo,' 'A Thousand Leaves,' and ' NYC Ghosts & Flowers.' And 'Goo' I only like because I interpret it more as a character name (a proper noun) than as a regular noun.
Outside of the music, I'm more interested in what the cover will be. They have a much better track record with cover art. I wasn't so happy with the 'Rather Ripped' artwork (although the black and white LP version looked much better.)
