The Sisters Of Mercy – Greatest Hits Volume One – A Slight Case Of Overbombing

79,99

A Slight Case of Overbombing gathered together material from goth merchants the Sisters of Mercy’s three major-label releases. That fact immediately sets the stage for complaints from longtime fans desiring their indie music. However, for the listener more familiar with the band’s mid- to late-’80s college radio tracks, this is a very good collection. The lyrics are rather pointless and Andrew Eldritch’s vocals lack dynamics, but his singing has personality that overcomes his limitations. It’s the edgy, hard gothic rock of the music that is their strength. There’s an undeniable pull to songs like the galloping “This Corrosion” or the epic “More” (both produced by Jim Steinman). There’s also a mix of “Temple of Love,” featuring Ofra Haza, and an unreleased track, “Under the Gun.” Not essential, but a good record for the casual fan (although more extensive liner notes would have been nice).
