Nope, Floodland was a low-point but they raised with Vision Thing.

Next you'll be citing "Will I Dream" as the new Alice

I can't believe people don't like Floodland. Tastes are different though I suppose. It was somewhat different to earlier stuff.

Here here.

And it is by far the best and most articlulate album. A classic IMO.

Up there with Unknown Pleasures for me as the best ever. Your right, it is the most articulate.

I liked "Floodland",it was good,but would have been fantastic if Steinman had been kept away from the album at gunpoint.Everything that man touches loses any hint of subtlety it had..I will believe to my dying day it was his idea to add the female soul singers to "This Corrosion"!

Posted: **04 Feb 2006, 09:51**

Wow, I ran back to listen to "This Corrosion" to hear some trace of these aforementioned "soul singers" but all 5 versions I have only seem to be graced with a choir. And just to add my 5cents/pence - FLOODLAND is one of only 2 CDs I've managed to ever actually wear out.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

Floodland is the masterpiece, Vision Thing is the low point. All in my (not very) humble opinion of course.

You'd only have to listen for under three minutes!2:41 to be precise.Whatever you'd call the ladies doing the "groovy" "Ooh" noises after the first chorus they deffo aren't a choir!
Steinman=inappropriate and campy female backing vocals.See "More" for further example..

Posted: **06 Feb 2006, 07:25**

Without Steinman, "More" = a decent CULT song with no lead guitar part. I revel in the bombastic nature of his Sisters contributions. His work with Meat Loaf, however...

PipoTheClown wrote:I'm a sisters fan too, but I must say I totally agree with DeWinter. I would like to go even further. In my humble opinion hasn't written a decent track since FALAA. The old work had many layers, many melodies. The unreleased "new" songs are a complete joke. To me they sound not even half finished, I'm sure nobody notices this when they are being played VERY LOUD. Which is a shame really, and a surpising, given the fact that the man had 16 years time of giving them a proper beginning and end.. and what about something in the middle?

I'm sure you don't agree, but please don't kill me

Of course I'm not agree with you.
And I will not kill you.
I just want to ask one question: how many tracks have

written on FALAA?

Agreed ruffers, when I listen to "Vision Thing"(which is'nt very often) I keep hearing this

wet as flood?

OK, I will stick up for VT, slick American rock it maybe but I like it now.
At the time I was mega disappointed. But then I had played the 12" inchers and FALAA plus all the Floodland stuff to death. I never played VT to death.

go figure

Exactly.

Have to agree with Ruffers. Floodland along with The Reptile House Ep are the ultimate records. Whereas First Last suffers from iffy production and Vision Thing does seem too slick.

Still as a friend of mine said, if The Sisters never release another album at least you know they've never released a pile of crap! Unlike some bands, who keep churning out album after album when they should have stopped along time ago.

Matt..

VT live line-up were an ultimate 'rock machine':
Mr. E - vox Humana
twin guitar attack - Bruhn and Brchenco
kybds/girly vox - that sweet lady who's name I've forgtten

basso proffundo - an old punk rocker that used to sneck Janet Street-Porter

that's what I call a Rock Action night out!

Oh yes!

New album, different style. I think every album has got charmes. My fav songs come from all the different albums/EP's. Beginning of the end? Nah..new beginnings...again and again.

Next one?

Just listened to "More" from VT.... the word "sing-along-schlager-rock" comes to mind

"When you don't see me" ?: Bon Jovi on a bad (hair) day!

VT? Ultimate crap-record![/quote]

Yeah.... but: "I was wrong" = only love song von has ever written.

Ribbons = quintessential LSD paranoia song

"Something Fast" (minus female chorus) = one of my personal favourites.

I like how he tries to adopt to the American market, but fails considerably because he cant hide his intellect.

*ducks and covers*

WYDSM = best VT song.

nope, I was thinking of the lady on the Miami DVD

Hm.. actually, while we're on this subject, who sang the female vocals on CN/SKOS 21/12/93 (Dark Christmas In London bootleg?)
On the version I have, her singing is louder than Von's at some points.
