I like it.
It seems out of place with the rest of
the album. Would have fit better on
Emancipation.

It goes with Funky Design, Mad, Poom Poom, Acknowledge Me and probably lots of other similar era orphan tracks. But along with I rock therefore I Am, it sounds out of place on C&D to me.
blah blah blah

The lyrics seem to chronological match the discography to that point in time. Kissed u..Parade, Undress U Lovesexy for instance.

This is a great track imo, but I agree that I'd doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. I really enjoy his '90s albums.

I like it--always have. And while it did stand apart from the album's general sound, it was good in and of itself, which I Rock Therefore I Am was not. And I liked the little taste of something different.

.

Actually, now that I think about it, IRTIA, while no good at all, was so jarring that Into the Light and I Will seemed to fit in stylistically with the opening tracks, which they really don't, now that I think about it. Then Dig U Better Dead drops in from a completely different album (or might as well do so) and Had U clearly doesn't sound anything like that opening sequence either.

.

This album is not nearly as rock-oriented as I tend to think of it as being. It just tricks you by starting out that way.
