The promotional cassette has a different cover and inlay. The cover is a green toned version of the original cover, (which is also found in a slightly different version on the Xnoybis promo CD) while the inlay is black with white lines simulating a heartbeat. There are two versions of the promotional CD. One came with a jewel case, and another was just a white paper slipcase with a gold text on black sticker affixed.
The U.S. CD was released with a clear CD case showing a picture of the 2 band members, and a black-and-white picture of the cover.
re-issued as part of a double CD package with Merciless as Selfless / Merciless on the 10th of September, 1996.

Interesting how this is one of Godflesh's lower rated albums here. It's pretty much Pure II with a tad bit more electronics. 7.6 isn't bad tho and I am close to giving this a 9. So good.

Well, the first track of this album is really a shitty song. Beside that, the other weak point of album is clean vocal. all in all, a very good album and I agree that this could be considered as pure II

The whole album is pretty average really. Only Go Spread Your Wings is outright bad.

Written by musicalkaratekid on 16.08.2015 at 01:01 Love that track, Xynobis was my original log-in name here. Love this album. It wasn't a matter of "losing their touch", but a constant shitting in approaches and intents. Pure was their "rock" album, this was their "pop" one. Viewing and distorting various styles of music through the Godflesh lens.

Written by BitterCOld on 20.01.2020 at 01:24 This makes a lot of sense when you write it like that. Songs Of Love And Hate would be their hip-hop album then. Can't believe it took me so long to explore their Post-pure era. Must listen to this one next.
