Context is everything.
I can only imagine what it would have been like to be an all-female post-hardcore band in the 1986.
This is compilation of their two mini-LPs (6 songs and 8 songs) with 5 additional tracks
The first track draws you in with feral, dare I say, erotic wailings.
The first mini-LP (fire party) is droning guitar and bass and guttural moans and screeches. Their full album (New Orleans Opera) kicks in with tracks consisting of more melody and intricate instrumental work.
Love the drum intro to Gethsemane.
Amy Pickering's voice is infectious.
Overall the songs are good. Standouts include Pilate, Gethsemane, Basis, Are You On?, How To, and Stray Bullet.
It's easy to see why they chose to include additional tracks as they are all standouts in this compilation.
7.5/10
