The Best of the Banshees
"Peepshow" is without a doubt the best and most fully-realized Banshees album. It is both deliciously wicked and surprisingly sensual - featuring perhaps the best vocal performances of Siouxsie's oeuvre including the GLORIOUS "The Last Beat of My Heart" and "Rhapsody."
This album is MUST-own for Banshees fans and personally ties with "Boomerang" as being the greatest album that Siouxsie has ever been involved in.
As a side note:
Dear Siouxsie and Co.,
PLEASE REMASTER THIS ALBUM!
Changed my all time favorite band from the Doors
to Siouxise and the Banshees. Lyrics are astounding. No better album has been arranged or produced in my view.
Medieval Pop
As good as it is in places, Peepshow has it's flaws. Some of the songs are fine but other songs fail to convince. The single "Peek-a-Boo" will probably win over mainstream audiences, but is out of place among the rest of the album. "The Killing Jar" is an eccentric stab at mainstream and "Ornaments of Gold" recites portions of the Koran.
"Scarecrow", "Carousel" and "Rawhead & Bloodybones" conjure up childish nightmares, making a large portion of the album sounding very Dungeons & Dragons, but songs like "The Last Beat of My Heart" which shows a stripped down vulnerability set to a death march and "Turn to Stone" with it's flamenco guitar and gothic harmonies are on par with some of the Banshees best work. Not the Banshees finest hour, but worth making a part of your CD collection.
