YCBTO: Time to seperate the wheat from the chaff

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Don´t love it...
Don´t hate it either...
I just take it for what it is... a B side, like leftovers from the chinese restaurant a week later.

Not too bad - not the best Sisters song, but better than a lot of other people's stuff.

I don't skip through it on a CD.

Why does it have to be so black and white ? Don't love it, don't hate it. Hardly ever listen to it in fact. Weak tune IMO, but that's no big deal.

If it had been one of the last ten or so "new" tunes, everyone would have loved it. People also hated the '90 album/sound/concerts, which were all better by miles than the current songs/lineup/gigs.

YCBTO is, as should be obvious, the finest, purest example of the Sisters doing best what they do best.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It's gloriously over-the-top cock-rock of a sort that only the Sisters could pull off, and it represents a fine distillation of a major aspect of the band. It's sleek, loud, and gloriously, knowingly stupid, with tongue planted so firmly in cheek that permanent disfigurement is a very real risk.
