Editing Rusty Cage (section)

==Composition==
On "Rusty Cage" the bottom E string is tuned all the way down to B,<ref>Woodard, Josef. [http://web.stargate.net/soundgarden/articles/musician_3-92.shtml "Soundgarden's Kim Thayil & Chris Cornell"]. ''[[Musician (magazine)|Musician]]''. March 1992.</ref> with Thayil stating that "the string was all wobbly but it had a good effect".<ref>Leonard, Michael. [http://web.stargate.net/soundgarden/articles/theguitar_12-96.shtml "Unknown Pleasures"]. ''The Guitar Magazine''. December 1996.</ref> The song features a striking tempo change towards the end of the song. The phrasing and meter also change: the first part of the song is in 4/4 but the second, slower, part is in an irregular, recurring metric pattern containing nineteen beats that could be interpreted various ways: either as 4 bars of 3/4 followed by one bar of 2/4, followed by a bar of 3/4 and a bar of 2/4 (3+3+3+3+2+3+2), or as 3+3+3+5+5, or even as one long bar of 19/4 or 19/8. Thayil has said that Soundgarden usually did not consider the time signature of a song until after the band had written it, and said that the use of odd meters was "a total accident".<ref>Rotondi, James.
