Sisters Of Mercy – Vision Thing (1990)

December 5, 2024

Holy smokes! What a left turn! Straight off a cliff! Holy fuckski! LOL. If I was the ancient Egyptian god Horus I’d be pretty fucking pissed that my eye was on the cover of this dreck. Does Eldritch even know what it is? Is that what the “vision thing” is? Man probably banged a goth girl once who had it on a necklace or something. Cosmic.

Anyway… what the fuck is this? Like, I’m two tracks deep and finally understanding why SOM decided not to make any more albums and “focus on touring” lmao. Man literally made an 80s rock album in 1990 (lmao) and then decided to mix in the lazy, shit, cringe side of industrial to try and modernise it a bit (industrial being something he has, in all honestly, kind of had a hand in so the state of this shit is doubly sad).

I honestly have no words for how bad this is. Irredeemable.

Edit: like… I skipped songs. I SKIPPED songs. I NEVER skip songs. 3.5k albums deep into my review journey and I’ve never skipped songs. Until now. This is the absolute cultural nadir of rock music distilled into one album.
