The Sisters Of Mercy - Amsterdam 1983

Review by Gus

Amsterdam 1983 by Sisters of Mercy is a live album that captures the energy and intensity of the band's performance during their tour in the Netherlands. The album features a mix of classic tracks from their debut album First and Last and Always, as well as some new material that would later appear on their second album, Floodland.

The album opens with "Burn," a slow and brooding track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's signature sound, which blends gothic rock with post-punk and industrial elements, is on full display throughout the album. The guitars are heavy and distorted, the drums are pounding, and the vocals are dark and moody.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Emma," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's ability to create atmospheric and emotional music. The song builds slowly, with Andrew Eldritch's vocals becoming more intense as the track progresses.

Another highlight is "Floorshow," a fast-paced and energetic track that gets the crowd moving. The band's chemistry is apparent on this track, with each member contributing to the overall sound.

Summary by Gus

Amsterdam 1983 is a must-have for fans of Sisters of Mercy. The album captures the band at their peak, delivering a powerful and intense performance that showcases their unique sound and style.
