Its a great song from a great band. For comparison, heres the original 1978 version:

I think that on balance I like the original more, mainly because Devoto's singing has a lot more edge to it. Still, the recent version is good too.
Its nice to see a band reforming and not disgracing themselves. I still remember (with shudders) when the Velvet Underground reformed in the 90s (twice, iirc). They were pretty awful, at least when compared to their earlier incarnation. Devoto & co have done much better.

He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
