One of the most precise and intense LLR's I've ever heard. If you like this song you have to hear this version

The drummers are on fire here. Aiko was at its best in the 90s

Is this song good by any means? Not at all, but its not the worst song I've heard from the band. I think this song, along with many others from the same era (way to go home, easy answers, etc), show some potential and might have even been slightly enjoyable if given studio treatment. Even if that album was on the same level as Built to Last, it would still be better than the sloppy, uninspired live versions we hear of all these late era songs
