That Petrol Emotion put out "V2" in September 1985 as a single that belonged to no album, a Seán O'Néill song that followed "Keen" and came before "It's a Good Thing". It's indie rock with its sleeves rolled up, and it earned a warm notice in Spin, where John Leland heard guitars riding a driving shuffle, with the drums pushing the whole thing ever higher. He cheered it as a throwback to the post-punk days when hammering the same idea over and over was how a band built up a head of steam, and he reckoned this lot remembered how it was done.
