Thanks Janzoon, but change of heart, I think I'll take this in a lighter direction for now and start with the...

Sisters of Mercy

Beginning with their first track

The Damage Done 1980

It is often forgotten that the Sisters were around long before they put out their first official album, debuting on the scene with the Damage Done in 1980 which is....not so good.

The 7 inch featuring 2 tracks and a filler song is plagued by shotty production, poor mixing, and some atrociously drumming by Eldritch on the A track, small wonder why he chose to go with a drum machine on the next outing.

The Damage Done




Alice: 1982

Thankfully there subsequent release is when the band began to hit their stride by formulating their classic sound around the track Alice, with a B side that features a high energy song with some good echo and a driving bass line.

Alice



So thumbs down and * star for the horribly produced the Damage Done, but thumbs up and *** stars for Alice.

Next up Temple of Love and the Reptile House
