Sisters Of Mercy (rock, albums, effect, cover, tracks)

Any fellow fans here?

I've always loved the Floodland album personally.

Favourite tracks would probably have to be Lucretia, Flood II and This Corrosion and Driven Like The Snow (so pretty much the whole of Floodland!)

I find it pretty hard to take them seriously, but they're a fun listen every once in a while.

I have a soft spot for these and 'Floodland' is a particular fave. 'Vision Thing' was piss poor though and with the exception of 'Ribbons' the attempt at a more Rock orientated sound backfired badly. 'Afterhours' from the 'Body and Soul' 12" remains my favourite track. Wonderfully atmospheric and drone like.

I have a serious soft spot for them too and I have to admit I actually like Vision Thing quite a bit, though I like Floodland better. For a long time those to albums were all I really listened to by them but in the past couple years I've checked out some of their other stuff and I love a lot of it. And, damn, do they do a kickass cover of "Gimme Shelter".

They also put on a hell of a live show.

I like them. It is rare that I have ever purchased greatest hits albums but I found theirs in a bargain bin for not very much so grabbed it on speculation. I was impressed. Ofra Haza had a seriously good voice and they used her very effectively.

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
