Isn't Floodland one of the best albums ever?!

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.

Hate to break it to you, but no it isn't. It is rather weak overall; though "Driven like the Snow" is pretty damn awesome.

(FALAA on the other hand is almost as good as DLTS on average.)

The chinese stuff is getting my vote at the minute, though. Crispy Duck, duck spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, egg rice...

I like the song itself but I don't like it on the album.
if it was released as a single to promote the album i would probably have loved it.

This Corrosion is a bit overdone by Mr. Steinman, but not that bad at all ...

One Nine Five Nine is a bit drippy. At least the original vinyl didn't come with Torch, so I guess we should be grateful.

M&S Spring Rolls are very good, check them out man.

Floodland was the first album I ever bought (after hearing This Corrosion on some awful (obviously with the exception of The Sisters) hits album) and the album* remains in heavy rotation till this day.

*Floodland not the awful Hits album

A slight case of over brackets?

Good you stated 'album' in the topic title, because The Reptile House is way better, mood-wise.

This Corrosion is over-the-topness that needed to be on VT, not Floodland.

That's it, I'm off there now to buy some chinese stuff for the neet. :D

On a minor issue, I don't like the 1959/This Corrosion extremes of the album.
To me it's all about the whole Flood/DLTS/Dominion rolling, spreading merging, music.
But there you go... that's why we have a skip button.

Floodland, the whole Floodland and nothing but Floodland. ;)

Definitely one of the best of all time! Must listen to it everyday or suffer bad withdrawals. Then again, that happens with VT & FALAA also :lol:

Had them, but I'm a rice man. I have to be careful with most prepared stuff as I HATE that proccessed garlic taste/smell.
...Hence my joy when I find foods that don't have it!
