Okay, Let's talk (like adults) about the 'new songs'

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.

I'm very fine with most of the new songs - even some of them are ~10 years old :lol: :lol:

If I should pick out the a-sides, I'd choose:

crash and burn
summer
susanne
will I dream

I like the history, which is why I'm here. If you like the new songs? Good for you, I won't argue; each to his own.

And that makes this a wonderful place.

I don't like War On Drugs- the chorus is particularly banal.

The wailing wahoooooooooooo sounds like a throttling at a warped cowboy western hoe-down. Then it all speeds up at end faster & faster into one of those dodgy last numbers you have to suffer when you go to a disco birthday/wedding party & they all start swinging arms & legs together at increasing speed & you cannot escape :(

I like what I've heard of the new stuff - For me STILL could kick the ass of any stuff other bands are pumping out
COME TOGETHER - I really like the sound of this and I reckon it would be a bigger hit than MORE - if it went through a studio

Uh, like TBOT's song, 'Inter Alia' states, it's been 18 years now since Vision Thing, 15 years since Under The Gun and 13 years since Gary Marx and Andrew Eldritch could have made a killer album together.

Oh and almost a full 10 years since the official site has stated my signature.

Sorry but some of us are counting the days. :oops:

I'm off to invest in medication for this apparent case of OCD. :innocent:

The chorus of War On Drugs amuses the hell out of me.

I'd record these myself if I could find the inspiration to finish my own album, never mind anyone else's.

Though recording cover versions does sound like a nice way to test new equipment... time to bust out the bootlegs and start transcribing.

Just to qualify my last post and explore some sense of come together.
I just checked it out on a couple of repeats and definitely,
this intro is the sound a man's brain might make realising that yes, I do own that hard-on... :eek:

Does anyone else get that?

Some would say that's the whole point of the Sisters. ;D :wink: :P
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It was a reference to the band Suicide and their album, "A Way Of Life", which incidentally as a Sisters fan, influenced the Sisters (read some interviews or at least the inlay to Some Girls) and I thought everyone here would 'get it'.

Sheesh. :roll:

I do have every Suicide album, and I do know their influence on the Sisters, I just thought it was a lame one-liner :wink:
