Siouxsie & The Banshees

The Rapture
Sealed 1995 Limited Edition Fluorescent Vinyl Release With Custom Song Hype Sticker And Original Tower Records Price Tag On Shrink. "It Would Have Been Easy To Write Off The Banshees After The So-So Superstition, Especially Given The Fact That It Came After Two Uneven And Disappointing Albums (Including The Unnecessary Covers Collection Through The Looking Glass) Frankly, One Of Punk's Most Consistently Invigorating Acts Seemed To Have Run Their Course. Sure Enough, The Rapture Proved To Be Their Final Recording. The Surprise Is That It's A Career Highpoint. The Band Deny, Incidentally, That They Knew This Was To Be Their Last Album. Quite How Siouxsie, Severin And Budgie Rediscovered Their Chemistry Is A Moot Point - Some Credited Producer John Cale, Who Worked On Four Tracks - But Rediscover It They Did. Despite Nods To The Band's Past In The Savage "Not Forgotten," The Real Gems Are The Sunny-Side-Up "O, Baby" (When Did Siouxsie Ever Sound So Genuinely Happy?) And An 11-Minute Title-Track That Is As Dazzling As Anything They Have Ever Performed. A Classic Case Of Leaving The Scene On A High Note, And A Fitting Final Chapter From One Of Punk's Finest, And Most Dignified, Bands." AMG - Alex Ogg
