I knew there must have been a reason that the first song I chose for to days just happened to be 'HowSoonIsNow by

Did I have a gut feeling about this? I'd not seen/heard any news site at all today... Was out all morning until at least 2pm.

Can't forget either, and opting for one of their later tracks as it's a personal fave of mine and reminds me of a girl I once knew.

One of the things I've always loved about is their experimental nature... Never resting on single 'genre', always trying new things.

This can mean some albums aren't always well received and even I admit that there are albums without a few tracks I really like.

But this one... I love. It goes against the grain of their previous work, a much rockier and harder edge to it.

But it's a cracking all the same

From the 1987 album

Because I like to practice what I preach

Pain, will you return it
I'll say it again, Pain
