As I was 19 at the time, looking back today, I'm certainly aware I might have been overreacting and missing some good things about it in the process.

It's not a spectacular edit, more of a curious novelty. "Starpower" is pretty butchered too, though not as 'creatively' as "Expressway" (which they basically recut to have a 2nd 'chorus'). Definitely doesn't hold a candle to the real version!

It's not as awful as the 'Sunday' single edit, though!
