Still, to me, it was the classic moment when they decided to throw themselves into a dark space all the way, and I salute that as it turned out to be a great album (possibly their best) - For a Pop Culture comparison see the epic TOTP appearance of the aforementioned with the classic controversial THB-era appearance when they were promoting "Faster".

i like Gold Against the Gold marginally better than THB, at best
they still had that Glam swagger, and the hooks were still
yes the TOTP of "La Tristessa Durera" is good, but have you ever heard and seen it live, when Richey was still around?
i did - it was orgasmic
