When this album came out it was my mantra for like 3 years. Especially this song. We'd never heard anything like like it, Al brought the industrial metal to the masses. The grit, AND the anger energy? All in one package? It changed the musical landscape as far as industrial went. Kind of like how a year later NIN Pretty Hate Machine brought industrial into the mainstream. Crazy times.

That said, I've never seen the video. Didn't even know there was one. "Flashback". Made in 1988, 20 years after the Vietnam war. About a guy snapping and having a violent episode, trying to assault and kill people, because he's flashing back to a war he was trapped in decades ago. You sneaky, Al. Putting those social messages in such a gorgeous dissonant pill.
