Vision Thing

The Sisters of Mercy

Aggressive drum machines meet sleazy hard rock riffs. A cynical, high-octane pivot from ethereal goth into a gritty, neon-lit urban wasteland.

September 13, 1990 · Super Tape

A high-octane, cynical sneer delivered from the back of a speeding car at midnight.

Moments Worth Listening For
The mechanical, bone-shaking drum machine intro of the title track that signals a pivot toward hard rock.
The sudden shift to sparse acoustic strumming on 'Something Fast' providing a rare moment of desert-hued vulnerability.
The relentless, satirical vocal delivery on 'Doctor Jeep' mimicking the sensory overload of 1990s media.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
