I think you need to have grown up with 80's industrial to really enjoy it,
as there's definitely the element of "doing it first even though it's not
that exciting in hindsight." Most everyone who's spoken to me about it has
said "oh man, at the time it blew my mind!"
When I listened to Too Dark Park, I was mostly bored by it. Maybe I didn't
take enough drugs? Perhaps listening to it over 10 years after it came out
tainted it?
Maybe it wasn't really that good? ;D
But yeah. It seems that if you weren't into it in the 80's, the only way
to get into it now is to fully adopt a gothy lifestyle.
