Tinderbox sent Sousie and the Banchees into the stratesphere. Virtually every song is a standout--Cities in Dust, 92 Degrees, Lands Ends. 2011 and it still sends shivers up my spine. Post Punk Rules!!!
Tinderbox has always stood out for me. LIke if you wanted to still listen to Siouxsie but take a different route for a change, Tinderbox was the album to do it.
Even though The Banshees have made more than their share of great albums (Hyena, A Kiss in the Dreamhouse, Join Hands, The Scream, Kaleidoscope, et al.), I am of the opinion that Tinderbox is truly...their finest hour.
Why on earth did they get rid of John Valentine Carruthers? So under-rated! The songs on Tinderbox were some of the most complex and beautifully atmospheric songs they'd ever written. I know Siouxsie's favourite was McGeoch - and his work is great - but personally I preferred the subtleness of Carruthers' playing. I mean, Cities in Dust, Candyman, The Sweetest Chill, Canons and this haunting song. What were they thinking?
@aerialkate Unfortunately, Siouxsie, Severin and Budgie seemed to find a new lease of life by sacking guitarists. After JVC came Jon Klein and a rich vein of songs such as Peek A Boo, The Killing Jar, Shadowtime, etc. Maybe they needed the change to survive so long.
if you listen to every song on the album, each one has the theme of a great catastrophe happening .....child killer, epidemic, nuclear war, global warming, nuclear war..........lands ends seems to deal with, at least for me, what the title implies..since its the last song on the album...the apocalypse...
Totally agree. I thought it was special at the time and now, on re-listening, I'm even more struck by how haunting and beautiful this album is. A masterpiece.
their best song, to me

@jramos83084 Land's End is a region in Southern England. The song is basically about two lover's suicide by jumping off the cliffs of Dover.

Tres Manifique! Siouxsie is timeless. This sounds even better today then it did back in 1985. The Banshees were always way before their time!
Priceless!
Thanks for posting this video it brought back good memories for me!

this album is timeless.
John Valentine Carruthers' performance is sooo 'wish i'd thought of that!'
what a brilliant guitarist.
why'd they fire him?
