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.
Reading NOTW in starbucks over a Latte, I turned to the music review page and low and behold I spotted a Sisters review !!!
*** star review
II's 20 years since their last album - but the pioneers of goth music show no sign of dying.
Frontman Andrew Eldritch leads his band through 90 minutes of brooding, dark music. His voice has aged well, as have 80's classics like Temple Of Love and Dominion.
A fine slice of nostalgia from The Sisters Of Mercy but the long wait for a new album is inexcusable.
Dave Freak
I guess he enjoyed the show as we did
Hey MR E, even NOTW want a new album.. Pull ya finger out and get it done !!!
Wondering what the hell is going on, more like. Stonking gigs, good sound, a singer who seems to have gotten his voice back, changes in the setlist, positive reviews in national media, highest t-shirt sellers, glowing tributes from other bands. About the only thing missing is the president of WEA down on his knees begging Von to come back.
Did aliens kidnap our Sisters and replace them with cunning, but not quite 100% accurate, body-swaps?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

When you summarize it like this I see no arguments against the record (not that I had any arguments against it before). Unfortunately my opinion does not count.
Lord, what can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man.
easy money on festivals, easy money on tees. and after positive reviews and info about best selling tee money will come larger stream. what he need more ? cats are happy when daddy isn't at only twa weeks. he's happy. everyone are happy. as we know it's easy to feel let down and overdose TSOM after/ during long tour.

Or: "I saw them once... [Twenty/ten/fifteen] years ago."
Probably unlikelier than just Unlikely, but I hope this is a sign of an upward spiral and not a freak occurance.
