Yeah I didn't like "Frankestein" either (did it even chart in my top 15? I can't recall), it felt unfinished and like a parody of sorts. "Black Gold" is better but still doesn't even come close to the perfection that was "Barricades"

ETERNAL: Greatest Hits<==== ALBUM PICK

[heppolo]

Boomtown Rats making a comeback, not sure if I enjoy the vocal, overall it's alright.

[jio]

Yeah the vocals are a bit off but the song is great (although it strongly reminds me of something I can't quite pinpoint). I am not really a fan of the Boomtown Rats' hit songs but I do enjoy this one quite a lot.
