Snake River Conspiracy made room for the Smiths on Sonic Jihad, the American industrial rock band's debut, which Reprise released in the US in July 2000. "How Soon is Now?", the Johnny Marr and Morrissey song, is one of five covers on a record with just six originals, keeping company with the Cure's "Lovesong".
It became one of the album's three singles, alongside "Vulcan" and "Breed", and one of the two that made the American charts. Critics warmed to the album's aggressive, inventive production and to Tobey Torres' singing, and a song this brooding is a fair test of both.
