It's the better song I guess

A lot of old-fashioned 80s underground gothness going on here - the way DON likes it.
I hardly ever skipped this.
Who would have thought in early '88 the would revisit exactly that same sound 10 years later with tunes on Adore?

So-so song. 6.5

7.2

We need more gothness power on this, I want a better rating for cross!

I'm givig it a 7.

I must drift off every time I hear this song, because I can never remember how it goes...

4

I never remember how it goes because I've only ever listened to it about 4 times. And I'm senile.

I've only listened to it a few times as well, never cared for it, that's probably why. I don't think I'm senile yet.

I'm going to have to agree with Don on this one. It's got a really neat style that reminds me of a less electronic Adore and the plodding drums I actually really enjoy. It's low quality and early, but I really like it, 9/10 as well from me.
