With "Ice Cream," McLachlan switches to a more upbeat, happier mode, with a bouncy guitar line. This style suits the song's uncharacteristically silly refrain that "Your love/Is better than ice cream," and the insertion of a "lollipop" popping noise is perfect for the song's mood. With a sound that befits Hole's Courtney Love more than McLachlan, "Ice" is her unsuccessful attempt to work an electric guitar with high amp into her music. The bass of McLachlan's confidante Pierre Marchand is present, to good effect, but McLachlan's electric guitar proves distracting and overpowers Sarah at points...

Then Miles' drums and Hendrix' guitar produce a series of machine-gun rattles that turn the mood from melancholy to chaos. Hendrix' solo is cinematic montage of the tragedy of war over the constant refrain of the machine-gun beat. His voice is choked and unsure, perhaps the worst singing by Hendrix on record. But the warbling voice gives way to Hendrix' guitar which rings loud and clear like a siren, then mimics the sounds of conflict: hysterical sobs, helicopters, motorcylcles tearing through urban canyons, ghostly...

...there is a very good reason why the earliest moral codes developed by humanity command us to refrain from, say, stealing or committing adultery. The moral catch phrases mentioned above seem hollow because they are the mere reflection of this fundamental principal. Quite simply, basic honesty is the absolute foundation upon which any successful and benign society must rest.
