I just can't stomach the American cock rock leanings of Vision Thing, if it wasn't for the Drum Machine, it could be any American "Metal" band of that era
, some will disagree, but to me, it was like Motorhead bringing out a Rap/Hip-Hop LP with Latin American Samba influences, it just wasn't what I wanted or expected............sorry.
You are a man after my own heart Scotty.
It may seem an over-reaction these days.But in 1990,we'd waited 3 years for a new Sisters album.It was a huge event for most of us.
What did we get?"detonation boulivard" and "Doctor Jeep" .What the f**k?
the most important alternative music band since The Sex Pistols had SOLD OUT.
I suppose people will come on here to tell us about musical progression blah blah blah,but Vision thing was an enormous step backwards for alternative music and a major own goal to the mainstream rock opposition.
Hearing "Vision thing" today,I hear a soul-less empty piece of very average Adult orientated rock,its not too bad but it ain't good either.A bit like Brian Adams,I suppose.
Thank god The Nephs put out "Elisium" soon after or I might have given up on goth altogether.
And comparing it to Motorhead is ridiculous(Not you,Scotty),Try playing "Ace of spades" or "Bomber"(The albums) then "Vision thing".Notice the difference?I think its called "Having the bollocks"!
