I must admit its not a favourite of mine either. I dont know what the 
writer/producer was thinking getting the Oils to do that song. It lacks the 
whole 'Oil' sound. The drums sound really tinny,flat and electronic. Not the 
usual Rob Hirst powerhouse that we are used to. Not to mention the sheer 
lack of any guitar intricacies by Martin and Jim. I just think that if I 
were asking the Oils to do a song I would want to take full advantage of 
their expertise and sound to get people to actually by it in the first 
place!.

Cheers,
Jane
