Our Take

With a title like "Floodland," you might expect to be inundated with a wave of musical brilliance. And let me tell you, Sisters of Mercy's album does not disappoint. From the hauntingly melodic vocals of frontman Andrew Eldritch to the pulsating synths and driving drumbeats, this album is a gothic masterpiece that will have you dancing in the dark.

Listening to Floodland is like taking a journey through a dark and twisted fantasy world. The opening track, "Dominion/Mother Russia," sets the tone with its foreboding atmosphere and powerful chorus. Eldritch's lyrics are cryptic and poetic, drawing you in with their sense of mystery and longing.

Tracks like "Lucretia My Reflection" and "This Corrosion" showcase the band's ability to blend gothic rock with infectious pop sensibilities. The result is a sound that is both dark and danceable, a perfect combination for anyone looking to lose themselves in the music.

Overall, Floodland is a timeless album that has stood the test of time. Its blend of gothic aesthetics and catchy hooks make it a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that is both thought-provoking and fun. Sisters of Mercy have truly created a musical masterpiece that will continue to captivate listeners for years to come.

About the artist

The Sisters of Mercy

SISTERS OF MERCY: The gothic rock legends that oozed more darkness than a midnight graveyard rave. This Leeds-based band, fronted by the enigmatic Andrew Eldritch, burst onto the scene in the early 1980s and quickly became the darlings of the alternative music world. With their signature blend of post-punk, new wave, and epic gloom, SISTERS OF MERCY were like a swirling vortex of black eyeliner and existential dread. Eldritch's baritone vocals could make even the most jaded listener feel like they were trapped in a gothic cathedral on a stormy night. Their seminal album "First and Last and Always" is a classic of the genre, with tracks like "Lucretia My Reflection" and "Marian" still sending shivers down spines to this day. SISTERS OF MERCY knew how to create a mood, and that mood was always one of brooding intensity. But don't let their somber aesthetic fool you - these guys had a sense of humour too. Just check out their cheeky cover of The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" for a taste of their playful side. And let's not forget their famous feud with former band member Wayne Hussey, which was like a gothic soap opera playing out in real time. So if you're in the mood for some dark, moody, and utterly captivating music, look no further than SISTERS OF MERCY. Just be sure to wear your black eyeliner and velvet cape - they wouldn't have it any other way.
