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.
Mixed Up is a remix album by The Cure. The songs are remixes of some of their hits, reflecting the popularity of remixing of existing songs and dance culture of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The record features a "minimalist and crunch" sound, a more "playful vocal range" than his previous work, and explores themes of self-medication in place of self-care within everyday life.
