The Sisters of Mercy, "First and Last and Always"

i wd like to vote for the last 3 tracks in one gulp but failing that i'm really torn

I've gathered that a lot of people dislike Hussey but his backing vocals are often the highlights for me.

For MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

lolol

Took me a few seconds to get that, Aldo.

This is the thread where you post in the style of Wayne Hussey

Voted for Walk This Way. :-)

having become of age in ls6 in the late 80s, i was kind of blind to this band as i felt the need to rebel against the postcode love.
however, there were certain tracks that became embedded within my system to the point that last year i got the remasters.
and yeah.
wtf re the debut album.
even in its remastered form it sounds like shit.
is there a story behind the reason as to why ?

i always attributed its sound to the fact that eldritch was taking vast amounts of amphetamines when he mixed it which is never a good idea. no amount of remastering can ever undo the horrible mix. "walk away" and "no time to cry" sound better as dave allen mixed them but even then he always struck me as an odd choice of producer.

An anniversary piece from The Quietus the other day, in case you missed it.

Still planning on voting Some Kind of Stranger.

When I first saw that "For MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" I thought it was the final line from Torch on Floodland…

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i was able to listen again before voting and agree that this is all about the last three songs. since i can't vote for all three will throw my vote to "Some Kind of Stranger."

the thing about the production on this album is that it's actually great & it is all other albums that sound like shit

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

SHOCKED!

wtf

Andrew Liles (NWW/C93) has marked the anniversary by recording his own version of the album and blimey I like it a lot.
