Siouxsie and the Banshees

A major success, the Banshees return to the harder-edged sound of their first two LPs while retaining the dreamy atmosphere from Kaleidoscope, furth upping the bleak, drug-addled nightmare imagery and claustrophobic feel. Post-punk and goth rock in a nutshell: "Spellbound" and "Arabian Knights" turn into the fetishistic violence of "Night Shift" and "Head Cut."
