5.0 out of 5 stars The final album and (IMHO) their best:, 22 Nov 2001
By A Customer
In similar vein to the latter albums (Peepshow, Superstition) but by far the most enduring, - their post-goth style now fully mature, personal rathen than 3rd person, cutting without a trace of being experimental & retaining their trademark power to take the familiar and give it an unnerving edge.
As along time follower of this band, tracks like "Stargazer", "Sick Child", "The Rapture" and "Double Life" are ones that I would not be without

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than nothing I guess...., 12 Jun 2005
By A Customer
As a lifelong Banshees fan.... it's rare for them to bring out a song that I cannot bring myself to enjoy that much 'Oh Baby'( a single no less) followed by 'Tearing Apart' are boring songs that kick this album off to such an uninspiring start. Further on there are moments of brilliance (namely the title track) where Siouxsie's vocals are seen at something like their dazzling best. 'Stargazer,'the Lonely One' are melodic and sprightly whilst the fury of 'Not Forgotten' also raises the standard. The later songs that were not produced by John Cale, but by the band themselves are far superior.... and see them experimenting in the way that die hard fans would come to expect.
Better than nothing i guess, but this isn't the Banshees at their finest. Siouxsie and Budgie as the Creatures later went on to put together stuff that was much improved on this.

4.0 out of 5 stars worth it for the title track alone, 1 Sep 2005
It saddened me to see the negative reveiws of this very listenable album so I decided to write my own and here it is: True this album is not the Banshees best, but it has many wonderful songs I would not be without like Fall From Grace, Sick Child, Not Forgotten, Love Out me which is one of their characteristic end of album 'last hurrahs' and The Rapture (not to say the other songs are disposable). The Rapture is an amazing song and I don't want to go all gushy but you should buy this album for that if nothing else (it is especially fabulous live). This album is one of the few I can listen to on a continuous loop because the first song is so different from the last. Not an album to get if you're just starting to get into Siouxsie and the Banshees (try Tinderbox it's a stunner), but if you already like them and you don't own this yet, why not?? There is no excuse, buy it now. If you're still on the fence I'd advise you to google for the lyrics to a couple of the songs. Poetry.
