Well, Siouxsie is certainly indeed my favorite female singer. She is so ironic in her lyrics and music and does not care one bit if it pleases anybody. Even with The Creatures's albums she sticks to the same formula. This is why it's so hard for t...he listener to understand what Siouxsie's lyrics mean. WHO CARES? She's wonderful anyway! :)This is my favorite of all records, next to "The Rapture". The music did start to sound more alternative/pop from the late 70's/early 80's and continued to remain the way the band was during that time. For anyone who's also into Siouxsie & The Banshees, listen up! You want to hear these tracks. 'This Town Ain't Big Enough' is the most powerful opener I've heard and will immediately get you hooked to that Siouxsie woman. :) She does a good version of Bob Dylan's 'This Wheel's On Fire'. This is also the first album that brass is incorporated (you can also hear brass on The Creatures's "Boomerang"). You can find it on 'Strange Fruit' and 'The Passenger'.You'd also love the haunting melody 'You're Lost Little Girl'. THIS is what I mean about Siouxsie being ironic and keeping us music listeners guessing what's up her sleeve. 'Gun' is also powerful when she tinges into a bit of a western voice in the first verse. 'Sea Breezes' is also a haunting melody. So you'd BETTER listen to this album if you're a newcomer to Siouxsie & The Banshees. Don't forget to also pick up the albums from Siouxsie's side project, The Creatures (there are approximately 5 albums from the latter). JoshCarson City, Nevada Read more Less
