I do like More, and all the extended versions but YCBTO is just tops

Ribbons, yes, great song, - "Flowers on the Razor Wire" is a gorgeous image.
But I can't agree with the defenders of More. It was an attempt to top This Corrosion, but sadly I don't see it sitting very easily in the Sister's canon. Just too bland for me. Video's good though, definitely the Fellini parody they wanted.
You Could Be The One, however is a fantastic tongue in cheek attack on the hippie-esque nature of where goth had gone, into the Carved in Sand and Martha's Harbour territory. The Sisters were always at their best as a corrosively acerbic post punk outfit. There's no room for sentiment in Anaconda, or in the sleaze of Flood.

YCBTO is a balls to the wall rocker, with good (ie. humurous) heavy metal lyrics, nothing more nothing less
just dig it!

There was a band in Lincoln by that name. I think the singer(?), Ed, was quite a Sisters fan, but I seem to think he hated Bauhaus.13th earl wrote:"Flowers on the Razor Wire" is a gorgeous image.

Whay's wrong with Bauhaus?

Nothing much, but I have to be in a certain mood for them. And even then, only about 1/5 of their songs.

Did someone just say YCBTO??? (Wakes up)
Absolute travesty that wasn't on the LP. What a song!!!
"Threatened species, they adore me".
Beautiful stuff.

How can anybody dislike Ribbons, When You Don't See Me, Something Fast, Detonation Boulevard, Dr Jeep, I Was Wrong and More?
Then I realise what a crock "Vision thing" is.
No offence,people but I really hate it!
Mind you, they do still play "Alice" 
Righty-ho. I'm off to "get my flowers pressed". Or some kip
