I may actually agree with this.  The original has always seemed oddly 
halfhearted somehow, and the Banshees version conjure up a more 
interesting atmosphere.

Yes, we did, but the group's self-titled first album did all the ones 
we needed, so this one is entirely unnecessary, and also larded with 
obvious jokes that devalue the concept.
