This is pretty interesting. It's not really all that different from most of what their contemporaries were doing but just by virtue of having a noticeable bit of Loveless in its blood while obviously being written to be something far more palatable commercially than that record was, it works very well as a conduit for illustrating the influence on that (fairly weird/abrasive) band on other (much less weird/abrasive) music which at first glance it doesn't bear that much resemblance to.
