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.
Goth before goth, Bauhaus broke up in 1983. It wasn't until 1998 that this compilation of Bauhaus' greatest hits was released with the LP hits as well as the English singles such as "Bela Lugosi's Dead."
