Floodland LP 1987
The Sisters of Mercy's second album Floodland contained the one thing that First and Last and Always was missing. The quintessential song that you could play over and over again all day long, namely"Lucretia My Reflection" a classic goth song framed around a simple 8th note baseline, reminding us that sometimes simplicity is all you need. Unfortunately, the albums sound as a whole is heavily dated, largely as a result of the bands move towards a more contemporary rock sound, accompanied by synth beats. Thus despite some quality songs, you can't escape the fact that this album is firmly entrenched in the 80's. Thumbs up *** Stars.
Lucretia, My Reflection
