    'Burning Inside' has the same drumbeat as B.F.G.'s 'Love Grind' - check it out for yourself - now both of these songs came out the same year, so who's rippin' who off ?? Hmmm.........

      Does anyone know why pre mid 2014 LP copies dont have dream song? Id assume its due to some copyright dispute?

        Where they should have stopped. It was the pinnacle of the band and the obvious stir of what the band would deteriorate into. But the fact that the industrial style was at the highest point didn't mar this disc too much. Not quite metal and not quite industrial which was what was alluded to on "Land of Rape and Honey" The rest of the catalogue in my opinion could never replicate the power and fury of this album. Chris Connelly vocalizes on several tracks and this was the super tour that no industrial group could ever re-create. Ogre and many others were on board that year and Chicago was never ever the same again. See --- Revco and Pigface (Industrial supergroups a la Ministry).
