Much preferred the previous album to this one. Seems the band got heavier with each outing. Love the leadoff track
of Animal Instinct. Not much to say after that with four tracks not even getting a like. I'm far from an expert on
this stuff, but for me, the music on a lot of this just totally drowns out the amazing voice of O'Riordan which is
my attraction in the first place. Also, horns seem out of place on some tracks. No surprise that I'm out of step
here, as the critics seemed to love it, and the public took it to #13 here and #7 in the UK. Singles were Animal
Instinct and Promises, neither of which charted here. Maybe it was the album cover that sold. Not sure what it
means, but pretty freaky.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Desperate Andy
Best Track - Animal Instinct
Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me
