Customer Reviews
What was I thinking?
I was a fool to buy this album, to think I could get into a few singles without getting infatuated.
I tried to sell it.
Too late.
It's just too good.
It's taking all my willpower not to buy up the whole catalog right now.
The sweetest chill
Most music I listen to nowadays is from the last five years, seven or eight at the most. One of the few select artists I still listen to after fifteen years is Siouxsie & the Banshees. I discovered them in my freshman year in college. TINDERBOX is my personal favorite Siouxsie album. The fact that it has my personal favorite Siouxsie song "Cities in Dust" nakes it all the more sweeter. There are two versions of "Cities in Dust", one of them is an extended version. "The Sweetest Chill" is another favorite song of mine simply for Siouxsie's distinct vocals. The swirling guitar riffs and haunting melodies also makes the song stand out with me. Another great song is "This Unrest". The disjointed melodies are a bit unsettling but in a good way. The song would be perfect in a chase scene in a horror movie. It has the scare elements in the melodies. Every song on the album is great. I can listen to TINDERBOX without hitting the forward button. TINDERBOX is a modern classic that has remained a permanent place in my stereo.

I remember loving this album way back when, and yeh, you read right: "album." I bought this originally in vinyl; I was a youth with angst and all that stuff; and the soundtrack to the early to mid 80's was colored with various textures including this package.
Sadly, I don't think it stands the test of time, and a lot of the sounds are quite dated. Don't get me wrong. I love Siouxie's voice, and "Cities in Dust" IS a true timeless classic, but I don't think the same can be said about most of the rest of the tracks.
But hey, if you want to discover or re-discover some of the more unique, underplayed-unerhyped sounds of that era, this is a good one to tour.
