On today's episode of reviewers-getting-it-weirdly-wrong, I'd like you guess what band (and for bonus points song) this 1991 review is for.
I don't even particularly like this band that much, it's just the weirdest way I have ever heard them being described.

Happy 30th Birthday "Black Steel" by Tricky, his cover of the far more mouthfullier "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" by Public Enemy.
It's a 9.

Happy 30th Birthday "Bedtime Story" by Madonna, the Bjork song with the stupidly expensive nightmare video, the kind that only a mega-star in the 90s could pull off!
It's an 8 (do you agree? what would you give it?)

Happy 30th Birthday "Back For Good," that brief moment when America cared about Robbie Williams. Or at least the boy band he was in.
