5.0 out of 5 stars Superior work. The peak of their form., August 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: This Last Night in Sodom (Audio CD)

Please read the reviews attached to the album "The Art of Falling Apart" - the lyrical and orchestral content is similar, the form more refined and less ponderous. Although it is a close race, I have to buck the trend and declare this Almond & Ball's best album. Squalor and desperation have never been put to music more incisively, invasively and insidiously all at once. You'll feel the need to take a shower after listening. DON'T start your experience with this album; I still recommend easing one's self into their perspective by starting with their first and second albums, Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing and Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret before moving onto This Last Night and The Art of Falling Apart. If you're curious as to whether or not your emotional memory/reaction to "the club scene" is/was common (and just how well it could be described through music), you will not find better. Far, far ahead of its time in every way back then, it's still ahead of its time now.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Personal Favorite!, December 2, 2003

This review is from: This Last Night in Sodom (Audio CD)

I'm 39 yrs. old and used to be a punk rocker-new waver of the late 70's to early 80's. I've heard it all 100 times over. This is absolutely the best Soft Cell album ever made barnone,... period! Listen to it in the dark, turned up real loud, on a hit of acid and see if you can walk away unaffected. Weird, darkly humorous, dirty, creepy, aren't strong enough words to describe this band's strange unclassifiable music. God I love this band!!! Murder my Angel*****

If I were on a desert island and only allowed 10 CDs this would be on my list. I don't even consider myself a huge Soft Cell fan. This recording has stood the test of time. I've had this for about 15 years and it still sounds fresh everytime I hear it.
