19. I can barely remember what it sounded like.

I'll take your word for it that it was bad! I actually only listened to the song one time, when a friend played their copy for us. What it sounded like barely registered because I was so repulsed by the preachy content. The creepy cover art didn't help either. We never bought the album (although we did buy a later one, Get Closer.)

They might have been able to get away with the song IF they hadn't drawn so much attention to it by making it the title track and the theme for the album cover art, but they had to go whole hog and make it the centerpiece!
