The humorous, bouncy feel and cheerful negativity are picked up in Barracuda , another poke at death that's jollied along by gorgeous guitar sounds and a smile-inducing fiddle solo. You Know More Than I Know takes a knowing, country-tinged peek, through the bottom of a glass, at the prospect of future pain and sorrow. Gun tells a tale of murder and blood, wrapped in a disjointed, piano-propelled boogie. Aided by an appropriately gloomy guitar break and some totally insane soloing, this horror story extends to eight minutes, without ever pausing to draw breath. To Orgy turns its back on angst to embrace decadence and melancholy.
Fear is the definitive statement by one of the most influential of rock musicians.
