Having been a devout Cult Fan for the past 22 years, I find it
difficult to totally dislike any piece of BOC music.  "I'd Like
to See You in Black" may not conjure up the imagery of "Wings
Wetted Down" but it is still a rollicking, kickass piece.  It
is certainly recognizable as a BOC tune.  "Harvest Moon", as
Doug points out, may start off a bit poppy and offputting to
hardcore BOC fans, but Mr. Roeser's fretwork through the bridge
absolutely kills.  Anyone who's a true BOC fan will recognize
Buck's hand in the development of this song.  It is, IMNSHO,
destined to be a Cult perennial.
