Notes.
1. This song has an almost New Order-like roll not unlike 'Regret', which
it preceded by four years.
2. The lyrics are almost, a self-fulfilling prophecy.
3. "…Then Hutchence (vocals', co-writing, co-production) made an album,
billed as 'Max Q', with Olsen. Their joint approach gives 'Max Q a bit of a
'Midnight Oil' feel, with more politics and a rougher rock sound than
'INXS'. The use of synthesizers and strings keeps Max Q from being exactly
earthy, but the record's got a certain energy and forthrightness that makes
it an intriguing superstar aside."
