Tinderbox is the most musically up-tempo of all Siouxsie and the Banshees' albums and the most stylistically consistent one since The Scream and Join Hands.
Siouxsie's best album: dark, somber, smoldering, the songs here take the change of directions begun the year before with Kaleidoscope (and the addition of John McGeoch (RIP) on guitar) and focus on craft and power.
Originally released in 1980 as the follow up to their debut album, three imaginary boys, and featuring a new line-up that included Simon Gallup and Mathieu Hartley.
