I only heard this for the first time a few years ago. I was pretty impressed, it’s a lot better than its rep. Pleasuredome had more peaks, like you say, but more filler too. All the cover versions midway really bring that album down for me. Guess they got sick of doing them too, judging by the Heroin story!
