Anyone else like The The?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Absolutely loved the Infected album when it came out, about the same time that I started properly listening to the Sisters (c. 1986) - I remember being the only person at school who liked them.

When I listen to it occasionally these days I realise how massively over-produced Infected is, but that applies to a lot of music from the eighties (but I think Infected suffered from 80s over-production more than most).

With the production values, I always thought The The were a big influence on :von: when he was planning his chart assault pre-Floodland, and Dominion still sounds that way to me. I remember that Uncertain Smile was regularly played in Leeds indie clubs in the early mid 80s. No surprise really that a lot of Sisters fans of that vintage like them.

Love The The. Became a fan with Soul Mining.

Funnily enough - when I got into the Sisters in 87 and knowing nothing of their old material, bought a bootleg tape of Stuttgart 84 & asked the guy in the shop was Heartland a cover of the The The song...

Groovy!

There was an excellent 12" RSD release of Giants this year (with a not so excellent remix on the B-side)
Styles are a lie.
