Great record, I can't believe Lynch never used "Surrender" in a movie or tv show, went with "Dominic Christ"

I listened to this for the first time last year, on the occasion of the re-release of the original mix, after being not particularly impressed by the four Vega solo albums that preceded it. It's not quite at the level of the first two albums, but Rev's sounds really give a gripping context to Vega's performances, though the rockabilly pastiches and slow-dance ballads are not my Suicide of choice.
I'm voting for the relatively contemplative "Suffering in Vain", which feels like it has both a personal and universal scope. 2nd choice would be "Devastation".
