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.
