Customer Review for the hoplessly devoted fans Why else would we pay out so much for a song that we could get on an album for about the same price. Import singles are all about the b-sides. Anyway, STRAIGHT JACKET is a cool rocking song, highly recommended. What's labeled here, and on the cover as SMOKE & MIRRORS may or may not be Smoke & mirrors. It has come to my attention that the first pressing contained a mistake and had a demo version of BLISSFUL QUEEN in there instead, But was corrected in the second pressing. It's a crap shoot which one you will get. Anyway Blissful Queen is Simplistic but fun. Smoke and Mirrors is ok but they've done better. THE LIGHT BEHIND YOUR EYES is a good ballad, not great but good. THE SAME PERSON remix is an extended version of what appeared on the album. It still sounds like an introduction to another song, just 4 minutes long this time. Still, you have several choice tracks to add to the collection especially if you get the first pressing. You might end up with a collectors item. Buy it while it's still available. . . You can see a complete list of all Veruca Salt discography, or go back to the Veruca Salt tabs
