Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

and a lot more reverb & echo on the chams guitars
if it helps, the track you are most likely to have heard is 'swamp thing', and that's from ST.
ST is generally regarded as the point where the band went a bit too american indie/college rock and lost their uniqueness. they split up not long after that. while i agree its probably their most accessible sounding album (a term often used as a criticism), its still an absolute classic and contains some stunnign songs, such as caution, soul in isolation, etc etc

Strange Times is my most played Chams album, I wouldn't say it shared any similarities to FALAA in production or style, next up I'd go for What does Anything Mean, Basically (my most enduring Chams album), I find the production on Script of the Bridge a bit sparse and gloomy and expect to be shouted down for this

Strange Times is i'm with you completely on that one, herr blast
script has some very fab songs on, but TBH i find there isn't the variety of texture on the individual song production for me... some of them tend to merge into one, despite them all being classic songs...

I do know a certain member in Forres who would disagree with oor appraisals, maybe a split to General Chat would be appropriate as a nice bit of ChamChat is allas welcome

I like them all...BUT... WDAMB to me is the most enduring, beautiful, melodic album I have, it's the album I love to play people who've never heard of them.
plus the cd now has in shreds tagged on the end
