Every rock fan should own this cd! It takes a few listenings to really appreciate it but like fine wine it is all worth it. Some of the stuff is really powerful and some downright humorous. "Sweet thing" is an  incredible song and alone makes this worth owning. Even the discoesque  "1984" is quite good. The album begins and ends strong with  "big brother and the wonderfully weird "chant of the ever  circling skeletal family" finishes things off. A great CD for the car!  No collection is complete without this gem.
