All right, tons to say about this track.
First, it's a cover of Joy Division and both versions are amazing.
Also, it's worth noting that this song is yet another track for the "literary" theme. The song shares a title with Nikolai Gogol's 19th century novel.
This song in my opinion played a pivotal part in defining a generation.
How?
The 1990's (and some of the late 80's) were filled with an alternative / industrial / heavy / goth rock surge. Trench coats anyone?
This song was featured on The Crow soundtrack, as were several other songs that helped identify the era. The Crow soundtrack acts in many ways like the Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack, that is, both film's soundtracks identify and represent an era more completely then any late night infomercial compilation album could do.
So, with that. Go watch both of those movies, listen to both soundtracks, and discuss them with your friends.
Oh yeah...
...enjoy.
