for the most part i agree with your ratings....but i honestly think Heroin is actually one of the most overrated songs and really is hyped do to the subject nature....don't get me wrong i love this song but i find I'll Be Your Mirror, Venus In Furs and All Tomorrows Parties to be the strong points of that album....and if i want to hear gritty retelling of beat heroin addiction i'd take Sister Ray over Heroin any day
