Heartland

Aaaghh... YCBTO, again! I can understand why someone would like this song - the lyrics are highly amusing after all. But sonically it is low-grade by any standard. I'm fairly sure it was intended as a fairly obvious joke, nothing more.

Since I started this thread, I've decided that my least loved song is Possession, followed closely by Torch.

I think the first single should be viewed in the context of 'mitigating circumstances'. I would also now include 1969 if it was indeed a true Sisters song rather than a cover.

Hmm. I agree abut 'Torch', which I think is kind of a dull song, but I love '1969' lots and lots due to the restless, perky anger this track has (OkaaYY!!).

Dr Jeep, I really want to love it but that horrible keyboard layer is just treacle slapped on top... Sounds like they didn't quite know what to do with it when they were recording so covered up the main riff & bass with all kinds of insubstantial fluff instead of adding the required aggression. The Speed Kings cut, while being a very average recording is way better, as is the '06 take. Bury Me Deep also fails to make the grade for me, musically OK but what's up with that singing?

You Could Be the One is without a doubt my least favorite.

Then 1969, but as someone stated above, it's just a cover.

Train follows a close third, I can't understand why this song gets so much recognition.

Everything else is gold.

Torch > Most of Floodland.

Do you even like the sisters?

We've been here before

@Dark

I swear you've claimed that "sandstorm" is the best thing Von has come up with...

Do you still stand by this?

Never Land (long version)

I don't think I claimed that, but I did claim that Sandstorm/Untitled/Ozymandias are some of the best tracks, but not necessarily THE best.

I preferred them when I didn't know anything about them, and I thought they were a goth band. Now I'm not so sure.

@ Archie your choice is not true and I know that, you know that, we all know that.

They are "tracks" rather than "songs", indeed. Actually, I've only ever heard these once, on the Dominion CD single, and I recall being bored senseless (not a feeling I usually associate with the Sisters). Having said that, I'm now rather curious to revisit my opinion, but I can't locate them anywhere at the mo.

I think her post can be classified under the heading of "sick jokes".

If you must get them, do so for completeness sake. I mean, I own them, and I'm glad I do, but they arn't sisters tracks really.

@Dark

I got the feeling you're an uber James Ray fan...more so than the girlies?
I'm just curious, not questioning "your right to be on a sisters forum". After all, I use heartland as an outlet for RS discussions as well

untitled is the finest instrumental never to be played live. it is,after all, just the dominion sax-solo fucked around with.

I do listen to James Ray tracks more than I do Sisters ones.. not least because Mr Ray once said I could do whatever I liked to his songs. So I took that as license to sample them to build some new songs (most of which then continued to be built without the samples). He doesn't know this yet.

I don't really come here for the Sisters once I realised how the band and some of its fanbase really are. I come because I like the vast majority of people here.

Torch is a big, steaming pile of poo.

Don't really like Black Planet any more either.

Ain't got a problem with Posession

BURN THE HERETIC

Only kidding I think thats a fair enough attitude to have.

What was your pre-conception of the sisters that made you get into them?

And then, what was it that you found out about them that put you off?

James Blast wrote:@ Archie your choice is not true and I know that, you know that, we all know that.

@ James of course I lnow that It must have been a typo. What I meant to write was BLOOD MONEY, that is my least favourite track.

I have no issue with Posession. I can't have an issue with that bass riff.

I adore the album version of Ribbons, but it never seems to cut it live, at least for me. Though I like Adam's solo on the M'era Luna 2001 bootleg...

I always wondered- what's up with the acoustic guitar on live versions of Ribbons? It's a background layer on the album track. That riff deserves as much crunch and chunk as can be thrown behind it, at least in my humble metalhead opinion.

I thought they were a goth band, and they wrote their songs because they sounded good.

I don't want to go into what's put me off.

The song "someday everything you need is just gonna fall out of the sky"... was the worst ever... giving a word and not making it...the Von!

Black Planet, I just can't get on with it.
Never Land (long version), a wee bit too long, much prefer the normal version. (Sorry Herr Blast.)
Dr Jeep, Sisters lite, just has a complete lack of testicles.
Ribbons, could take it or leave it, but now it always reminds me of that bloody 'I want it now' song or whatever it's called by Muse.

and about the general. i heard an opinion 'bout siss music that all their tracks are the same, to be more precise, that any siss songs has his own copy (a music) in other album. i makes my wonder and i get into point that in some way it's true, but only when we take flodland and vision thing as an items of investigation. some kind of music code, patern anderw used in VT the same as in Floodland, in the other hand it's natural that you tryin' to use a good formula when it works, but ...

definetely DrJeep. don't know why but i hate the song. I hate it when combined with detonation blvd. I want train back
