About The Sisters of Mercy

The Sisters of Mercy is an English rock band, formed in 1980 in Leeds. After achieving early underground fame there, the band had their commercial breakthrough in the mid-1980s and sustained it until the early 1990s, when they stopped releasing new recorded output in protest against their record company WEA. Currently, the band are a touring outfit only. The group has released three original studio albums: First and Last and Always (1985), Floodland (1987), and Vision Thing (1990). Read more on Last.fm

Reviews

  • The most complete album by the Sisters

    By commissionerleaf
    This album is the most complete Sisters record, and the most consistent. Saying it is the best is a bit difficult, because for the rock and roll guy there's no "Ribbons" here; fans of the post-1996 Sisters live shows may be shocked at what they hear on the record, which is atmospheric and detailed rather than loud and distorted. Flood II is indeed a highlight; it is the song that sold me on the band in the first place. The "remastered" version includes the "Emma" cover and "Never Land", which is funny considering that the band was lobbying for years to get "Torch" and "Colours" taken off the album (they were not intended to be on it. Never Land (A Fragment) -was- the full version of Never Land, so I'm far from sure what a "full version" is supposed to be. Some other recorded material from the Floodland recording sessions that Warner had a hold of, I guess.

  • Yes, the BEST ever

    I agree with the other reviewer– this is possibly the best album of modern music...ever, certainly the best Sisters recording, (with Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express and Bowie's Eno recordings as close contenders). This album is essentialy THE standard by which I measure all other music made since. Besides the extrodinary music itself, the production and the instrumentation is astounding. The lyrics are SO profound, I am finding new meaning in them even today. This Corrossion is the obvious apex of the album, but Flood II is it's full realization– as close to perfect as one can get in music, in my humble opinion. But I have to disagree with the other reviewer, this isn't simply "goth". This record goes way beyond the somewhat peripheral world of goth, into dare I say, Art. Truly, a masterpiece (I measure my words carfefuly, believe me. I don't throw that M word around very often.) I only with Eldritch would get into the studio and make more like these. I guess what I am trying to say is, get it. PS: For the Sisters enthusiasts, it is noteworthy to mention Never Land, the full version, is *finally* on this re-release.

  • BEST.ALBUM.EVER.

    FLOODLAND is not only the best "goth" album, the best album ever. the band has not disbanded as it is stated here on iTunes, the Band is only Andrew now. SoM tours about every 2 years the last being the Oceans to Oceans Tour in 2008.
