Most 'nondescript' Sisters song?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Let's face it - we're all here for one reason and one reason only.....YCBTO. :von:
Many -- nay, too many -- words have been written about that song. It certainly is not the nondescript. :roll:

I fully understand skipping that track, though. ;D

Ozymandias is "Dominion" played backwards :innocent: Sandstorm was a component and not meant as a stand-alone release.

Otherwise, there are NO Sisters non-descript songs. :notworthy:

PROOF: Listen to an Internet Radio station for awhile, when DJ, DB, Torch, etc. come on, they :idea: outshine :idea: what was just played. Or, if you have a multi-disc stereo, set it to shuffle.

WHAT IS REALY HAPPENING: The human mind tends to 'screen out' what is too familiar like listening to the same somgs (myself 16+ years) continuously. SOLUTION: Play less often or play other artists.

Romeo Down : starts, goes on a bit, stops. Dull as hell.
Posession does much the same : no drama, no reason.
Doctor Jeep (Overbombing edit). Lordy, that's boring.

Well Hello Ferrette & welcome.
I hear what you're saying & I stand by what I say.
They are "reach for the remote control to skip" tracks.
IMHO ;D
Cheers.

Have not heard "Romeo Down" yet so I will pass on that one...for now.
"Possession" I used to skip this song-by-committee until I heard it on headphones, the last part has a 8) stereo effect with Andrew's voice going left and right in an, ahem, how shall I put this :oops: , intimate way., Really! :D
"Doctor Jeep" motors along with a rapid beat, and, again, :oops: on headphones, the musical elements slide in and out (make of that what you will). As this is not the lyrics forum, I will refrain from commenting on the treasure trove within. :wink:

Well put Rob.

Possession live, particularly the 90s versions, kicks total butt.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Don't know how i found this thread but i did.

Slept and Still for me. Both are a big so-what, no emotion and defo gig filler to say "look, new stuff!" Bunch of arse.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

After getting involved more and more with the Sisters I believe I can now say what songs I find most "nondescript".

Body and Soul-
For simply not having any beat or groove and being sung way too high for the Sisters.
Torch-
I find myself again and again forgetting about this song. It's got nothing special, I think.
Rain from Heaven-
Although I don't think it's a bad song it just doesn't to anything to me.
More-
Not as much as the others, but still it cannot spot, too mediocre, no extravagance.
It's good to be back

The reason the Sisters are my top band is that every song works at some level on some occasion. Admittedly some require more alcohol than others..... :innocent:

I totally agree! It IS the most boring song the Sisters ever made. YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU COULD BE THE ONE :urff: .... c'm on, :von: , you can de better than that ...

I love Afterhours though. The monotone pounding sound gives me that feeling of melancholy which I miss in contemporary music .

Yep - well put!

:lol:

Though on a recent 10hr flight I did find myself going "oh yeah, forgot that one" every time I heard 'When you don't see me'

dj jeep 7" is over too quick to actually make much impact

the 12" however has some very cool of soaring "panzer-attack" guitars weaving in & out of the mix. very cool :von:

detonation blvd is a bit cock rock, and not really very good cock rock. but it does have a few lines in it that eldritch sounds very cool singing... all that nonsense about 'the l.a. rain' (rose of avalanche anyone? :lol:) and ensenada 8)

me? i can take or leave torch, and more is a bit, well, arse, but there aren't really any that i think are nondescript (apart from one or two of the 'newer' songs :o :oops: :lol:)

That is my opinion, thank you for listening.
i couldn't agree with you more on the first three emma!; dr jeep, though... hmmm... depends how rawk i'm feeling.
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?
