Oct 31, 1994 · The eerie guitar parts filtered through icy effects in “Cry Wolf” perfectly accompany Germano’s wounded and fragile vocals. Similarly, “Sexy Little Girl Princess” works in lilting six-string ambience, which subtly accentuates lyrics about the darker side of growing up too fast with a trembling subtlety and restraint.
