I don't understand how anyone who enjoys raw music could not like "Fire of Love". "She's Like Heroin to Me" is just fucking feral.

Fire Of Love is a spectacular album, and anyone who doesn't like it has no taste and boring sex.

last heard anything by them in 6th form in 1986 when someone brought an LP in.

i liked it a lot. thanks for reminding me about them.

NOT CRAP

i think they're ok.

I like this band. BUT, when it comes to "roots-rock", I prefer the flesh eaters.

i don't.

Chris D can't fuckin' sing. At all. He kills this band.

NC. Good band.

I'm with BRE on this one. A great Friday night album. I would listen to it before going out my sophomore year of college. It really got me jacked to...uh...stand around uncomfortably at parties.

I never heard the Pixies in this. I will put it on now.

I detested this hokey band and their preening singer. Both live and on record, not a stitch of this ever sounded genuine to me. Pure showbiz.

Hated it, hated their audience, hated their shtick, hated the idea of jamming two discrete pre-existing styles of music together because you're too lazy to come up with your own...

A bad band that played a bad kind of bad music and engendered an annoying, fashion-obsessed audience.

A "one trick pony," right?

Oh whatever! There are plenty of frontmen who can't sing but are totally brilliant, and, while I wouldn't say Chris D. is BRILLIANT by any means, the first two flesh eaters albums are wonderful in almost every way.
