Poison Arrow

a) I don't see the need to play the verse, chorus, whatever a full time through before Thurston starts to sing. (This happens on Sacred Trickster, Anti-Orgasm, and Malibu too, but I feel the music is much more interesting on those tracks...)

b) How does "Who shot the poison arrow?" relate to the rest of the lyrics? And then... why repeat it four times?

c) Even for a Lou Reed mimic, Thurston sounds a little too cool for school, and I agree with others about the panning on Kim...

I like the song, especially the overly hidden bass line at the end, but it's a little forgettable. The rest of the songs are pretty much flawless to me.
