― Inculcate a spirit of serfdom in children (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 March 2010 02:26 (fifteen years ago)

Title track, not even close.

I thought so too, but "Death of Samantha," adapting studio-rock conventions, is so chilling. And how awesome that she snuck "Give Me Something" onto a #1 album.

I can't deny the loud stuff, but "Even When You're Far Away" still tears me up to this day.

As I discovered while making sound collages on cassette many years ago, "Give Me Something" sounds great with strings of Spike Jones sound effects interspersed throughout.

Anyone heard this cover? Gorgeous.

this is a compilation, I gather...?

can't believe it doesn't have What a Bastard The World Is on it.

"Death of Samantha" for me

I remember buying a cut-out copy of this for a buck or two sometime in the 90s. I just wasn't ready for it yet, and promptly threw it out. I should probably go back and reassess it one day, but for now I'll give the title cut a vote.
