From the joyous, jagged intro to the juddering close, a hit and no mistake. With a bit of cello, heartfelt vocals, some disco percussion, a name-check for Russian writer Maxim Gorky and what sounds like someone tapping out a tune on the ribs of a skeleton, this is probably the best Bunnymen single ever. Easier to dance to than philosophize about, which is all well and good. Is this what Mac meant about them finding their "lighter side".? Whatever, sheer bliss. (
Dave Rimmer, Smash Hits, July 7, 1983)
