5.0 out of 5 stars
outstanding,
This review is from: Vision Thing (Audio CD)
vision thing is the sound of a rock band at the height of its powers - an intellectual and visceral tour de force. it takes a different direction to other sisters output, with a clear metal inlfuence. but don't be fooled by the initially quite superficial sound, which will soon begin to reveal many layers and subtleties. this is a record fuelled not by testosterone and angst but by irony, wit and venom. never has a songwriter produced such astonishing lyrics: "her lovers queued up in the hallway/ i heard them scratching at the door/ i tried to tell her about marx and engels, god and angels/ i don't really know what for/ but she looked good in ribbons/ SO JUST WALK ON IN" and allied them to such a pounding, savage sound. it's not all amps turned up to 11, however, as a couple of more reflective songs shows. don't listen to those that will tell you the sisters are goths. they're not (although quite a few of their fans are). this is more than just a rock record. this is an example of rock band at its most audacious, its most ambitious. it's a towering achievement.

The Youngest Sister of Them All.,
By PalominBeaut (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vision Thing (Remastered & Expanded) (Audio CD)
First of all the typographical error has been corrected on the spine and the skipping on Something Fast doesn't exist now.
A good album, but not as essential as First and Last etc and Floodland. I could never ever get to grips with the track Ribbons on the original LP, but listening to this song now gives me goosebumps. What was mainly of interest to me was the additional tracks, especially the remix of When You Don't See Me and the two live tracks of which all formed the German import single of 1991. The tracklisting listed here is incorrect and the second version of More should read When You Don't See Me (see image for further proof). This CD lasts for just over 67 minutes and what would have made this album greater would have been to include the live bootleg tracks originally included on the Doctor Jeep b-side. A good album to have, but buy First and Last etc and Floodland albums first.

Flawed first pressing: wait for the second!,
By trystero (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vision Thing (Remastered & Expanded) (Audio CD)
I'm happy to see this album re-issued with the B-sides (and the alternate mix of "When You Don't See Me"), but the initial pressing has two flaws which mar it for me:
(1) The spine misspells the album title as "Visioin Thing". Okay, not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to get it right. (2) More significantly, the final track, the live version of "Something Fast", has some skipping. This is not due to damage to the disc: it's on the master. Rhino UK has supposedly issued a second pressing which corrects these flaws, but I'd suggest hunting for this disc at your local dealer rather than at an online store, since there's no way to know which version you'll get from the latter. Which is a shame.
