'IT' do you think about it all the time or was it a waste of Time on SOTT?

Really can't see the point of this track given the stuff that was culled from the Triple set,Would've made a good B Side and sounds amazing live on the DVD but on CD i always skip it.

IT is a perfect fit on the album.

It's got a catchy beat, with some really awesome layering going on at the end.

If I could just figure out what "it" is I might enjoy it more.

Seriously, the song has a good beat but it's so damn repetitive. Belongs on the CD but is one of the weaker tracks.

I agree that there was better material that didn't make it on SOTT. Much of that material was revolutionized, so he didn't include those.

I like the "positivity" vibe on the song.

Great song.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

It's OK, but I could live without it. Is 'It' really better than the other
tracks that got left off?

Rebirth Of The Flesh
Crystal Ball
Rockhard In A Funky Place
The Ball
Joy In Repetition
Shockadelica
Good Love

Personally, I'd have prefered any of the above to 'It'.

I love It...It was one of the first songs I became really really fond of on that album (besides the singles) during my first listen.

problem is none of the songs really fit well in the place of IT
i would choose Joy in repetition
but somehow giving the order of the songs it just doesn't fit

In the context of the LP only, I think 'It' tops all of those except for Joy In Repetition.

This song rocks! headbang seriously,I think "It" should have been a single.I love the hard,hypnotic beat.It's actually a dark song,very moody.

At first I hated and thought it was very creepy. Now for some reason I love it, maybe because I'n more into the more 'dark' Prince songs now.

"It" was the best song on the album. Too bad the whole album wasn't like it.

Nothing wrong with 'It'. I wish the vocals were more to the front, but that is my only criticism.

I love the song. In fact I want to do IT with my band.

A killer minimalist rock song. I wish he'd sing like that more often, in that rock singer range.

Hell NO!! One of his sexiest. When I first got SOTT this was one of the songs I couldn't get enough of. It's really mysterious.

It's the first song I gravitated towards. It's the only song on the album that has that cold "Old Prince" sound.
