5.0 out of 5 stars The Banshees wail back to life!!, May 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Seven Year Itch (Audio CD)

Amazon has unfortunately have substituted the "Album Details" for a single-track tour souvenir booklet for this electrifying live recording by one of the most enduring, prolific, and continually inspired bands to come out of the 1977 UK punk scene. ("Dizzy" isn't even on this CD.) In a welcome remedy to last year's hit-oriented "Best of" CDs, this live set, recorded at Shepherds Bush, July 2002, includes the B-side "I Could Be Again," an obscure Beatles cover, and fantastic early songs. Essential for fans, and a superb introduction to a great band.

3.0 out of 5 stars What's with Siouxsie's voice?, June 22, 2004

The big controversy concerning this CD is the quality of Siouxsie Sioux's voice. It sounds different to say the least. It's deeper and she seems to struggle to hit the notes. Was she sick or what?

On the other hand, why would she release this recording if she wasn't happy with the results? I think you can make the case that her voice sounds creepy and compliments the dark subject matter of most of these songs. Rock n' Roll isn't always about being pretty, after all.

The band sounds AWESOME and former Psychedelic Fur Knox Chandler fits right in, providing a gorgeously gothic guitar. But in all HONESTY, I'll be sticking with the original recordings that feature the Siouxsie voice I know and love.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sadly, Siouxsie can't sing in tune anymore., January 27, 2004

Let me first say that I am a MAJOR Siouxsie & The Banshees fan, and have been for many, many years. I didn't add this uncharacteristically awful album to my iTunes collection of the entire Siouxsie & the Banshees catalog, because the out-of-tune singing is unbearable. I can only wonder what Siouxsie herself thinks of this album. Maybe the monitors on stage were not supporting her the way she needed, but she very rarely comes close to hitting a note during the entire show. The band sounds a bit thin, with only Budgie turning in a performance that could be considered memorable. But the singing... ugh.
