great band!

Yup! could be rather interesting...

If ever there was a band with a sound like SoM...

Bloody hell. They do sound very much like the Sisters. And that voice is eerily familiar

And this is bloody scary

If the 2004 pic of "Marvin" didn't have hair, I'd be throwing conspiracy theories around now

There must be a common denominator. Germany = high cheekbones, cowboy hats, sneering dismissal and sunglasses.

Downloading now...

Cheers!

dear oh dear. identikit sisters sounds with weedy guitars and a singer who tries so hard that he isnt actually able to let loose - he's too studied and self-consciously von-esque. there's no "him" in there. no power or feeling. he cannot howl or scream.

they're s**t.

pale empress? pale wanker more like.

what QB said.

Pale imitation even.

There's some life, not much though... too studied and self-consciously von-esque - definitely!

they're s**t - nah, I wouldn't go that far...

I downloaded some of their stuff a while back, and haven't yet listened to enough of it to discern whether they are great or complete cack.

Oddly in accord with my opinion of Rosetta Stone.

Unashamedly so.

I'm in complete agreement with Erudite on this one - compared to the Sisters' amphetamine fuelled rock 'n' roll, Rosetta Stone churned out Nescafe-fuelled jingles, lacking in any power, passion or meaning.

Just my opinion, mind.

They sound alright to me, but nothing special. Too bland.

the two I could stand before hitting 'stop' sounded nowt like a certain English beat combo.

No redeeming factors, please move along.

Whoops, I've left it on the creaking heap of neolithic s**t I'm forced to call my workstation. According to The Boss, all this 'porn-surfing' is what's jiggered my machine.

And not the fact that it's running '98 without a service, overhaul, or defragment in the three years you've owned it? Shurely shome mishtake?

Is a wee box so you do not have to stop surfing if you need to go to the bathroom?

This is without a doubt the smartest thing I've ever seen written on this forum. It reflects THE WAY IT IS. There's no point in discussing them any further.

Sweet fancy Moses, someone needs to cram a boot up the ass of this s**t. Or a gun.

Put your fingers in your ears and you'd really think Bruce Dickenson was in the room with you.
I wonder what it sounds like backwards

But back on topic, the pile of cack this thread is about actually feature in HLs very own photo gallery here

Ah, you had it in your avatar a while ago, eh? Classy. As long as you don't advise me getting the thing on the left of the picture *shudder*

I like Andy TG's beard. Other than that, the muppet in the middle really doesn't look like AE.

Cheers, Mr. M!

Well,I daresay there are many Lou Reed/Cohen fans out there deriding Eldritch as a copyist..
I'm pissed out of my skull right now and have no reason to post..
Last band I can think of who sang about drugs and cheap sex as well as TSOM were Suede..

Nothing special and no need to bother about them
