My biggest issue with the album has always been "Good Girls Go To Heaven". Meat puts no emotion into it, IMO, and I didn't know what it was until I heard the Pandora's Box version. Wow, what an awakening! Plus "Back Into Hell" sounds like something out of "Street Fighter" or "Mortal Kombat" LMAOOO. On the whole, it's too much of a unique album anyway. It does sound dated, but it's like... this is what the 80s would have sounded like on Mars!!! Do you get my drift? LOL. > I think for the most part, "Back Into Hell" sounds > timeless, yes.
