It's actually a cool track, I don't mind it in the least.

It was after their third album though, when they stopped being a dance band and started being this stadium rock behemoth. Their first two albums are two of the most essential records of early-90s dance, and two incredibly rare instances of really, really good dance albums. The albums after that were where they went into being a completely different band. They're still electronic, but appealing to rock audiences rather than the dance massive. It's possibly a minor distinction, but I don't think they'd be as well thought of for their earlier stuff as the post fat of the land stuff.
