VISION THING © profelipe ™
The Sisters of Mercy has officially released only three albums, two compilations, one EP and several singles.
In recent years, with the decline of the CDs, the group failed to release records. The musicians chose to do concerts and show new songs in the festivals.
Everything is available on the official website, including previously unpublished videos.
The last official album, "Vision Thing", had a tour that began in Brazil in 1990. There were great shows (I saw one in São Paulo and two in Rio).
About the album, Charles M. Young wrote an objective and interesting critique in the Playboy (October 1991):
"The Sisters of Mercy (...) call the President of United States a motherfucker in the title song of 'Vision Thing' (Elektra). Now, that's getting to the point! Lyrically and musically, the energy emanates from the dark side but in ultimately liberating, because The Sisters (who are mostly Andrew Eldritch) can name and locate the darkness accurately and poetically. Yeah, I suppose they're Gothic, but there's a lot more to these guys than dressing in black."
Critics wrote about the Sisters of Mercy in the Melody Maker or sometimes in the New Musical Express. The text of the Playboy was to another audience that do not know what is called “alternative music”.
Charles M. Young wrote with objectivity to describe the group and last album. Since then, I started to pay more attention in the writings of Young. As for the band, I was a fan and I still like the work of Andrew Eldritch.
