''RockMag'' describes it as "a mid-tempo song of tearful guitar riffs and epic scale. On this heavy and dark serenade Manson adopts the voice of a tortured crooner and unleashes a diatribe of vocal assassination against someone unnamed. Musically, one thinks of the glam metal of Mechanical Animals (particularly the song Disassociative). At 2:46 a solo comes in that howls its despair for practically a minute (it finishes at 3:37) recalling nothing seen from Manson before except maybe Fundamentally Loathsome. One suspects that from here on in emotion will play a huge part in the album, probably closely linked to Manson’s recent break-up with Dita.
