Overbombing covers a slightly patchy time in the Sister's career from First And Last And Always through to Vision Thing and their newer singles. This means that classics like Lucretia nestle alongside promising newer material such as Under The Gun, but also the slightly iffy Detonation Boulevard and Dr Jeep. For the long term fan its only real appeal is the first two tracks which are not available on other albums, but for a newcomer its quite a good introduction.

Some SoM purists have sneered at this compilation (just check out some of the reviews here) but do not be deterred: this is one seriously good selection of proud moments. There's a real energy and power as the setlist rips through Under the Gun, Vision Thing, Mine, Lucretia, Dominion and This Corrosion at breakneck pace. Stick it on, and let it unroll right through to the end - no fillers here.

Of course, "Greatest Hits" is not equivalent to "Best of". The Sister's strength was in creating albums that were full pieces of music, to be listened to as a whole. Take songs out of context and the recording suffers a bit. Also, many of the best songs were never released as singles (Marian, Floods I and II, Some Kind of Stranger... off the top of my head), so of course, they don't get a look in. Finally the track list is in reverse chronological order, which will give a bit of a skewed listen to first-time experimenters with the band.
But.
Let's face it, all the songs here are, individually, very good. It's weird to hear tracks from such differently orientated albums juxtaposed together, but it's a great record to stick on in the car and just revisit a selection of the Sister's fine (if not finest) tracks. Advice though, if you know you like the Sisters of Mercy, just buy all the albums, they're all worth it :).

People are being very picky if they are downgrading this wonderful collection on the basis of a track listing which is, I'll admit, a bit lazy. Read more
