Out of all these songs, [[High School]] fares the best, as the drums in all other songs were cut out at the last minute.<br>

Most Sisters fans would recommend that one does not buy this album, although since it features Eldritch, many do listen to it, and some even like it. As far as techno without drums goes, it's not a bad album, although the Sisters themselves recommend you download the album rather than paying for a copy from eBay or another source.<br>

It's said that WEA have remixed two of theses tracks, though they have not surfaced yet.
