Blunders And Mistakes - Robocop Kraus

Advantages: Takes me back
Disadvantages: None

...The Sisters of Mercy are fronted by a very gaunt looking Andrew Eldritch. We saw then in Las Vegas, House of Blues in 1999. They were ok but something was missing. I know what it was, it was the haunting voice of Miss Patricia Morrisson. They lacked something , even though it brought back memories to my punkie gothic days. I didn't have the gothic look more of the Billy idol look I always preferred blondes. I still loved all the music though and all my friend were a mixture of goths and punks. Because Iam now going on 40 I have totally changed with my appearance but the foot still taps when the Sisters come on. The album Girls wander by Mistake is an excellent album, it opens up with Alice The other tracks are 2:Floorshow 3:Phantom 4:1969 5:Kiss the carpet 6:Lights 7:valentine 8:Fix 9:Burn 10:Kiss the carpet (Reprise...

Disadvantages: No real variance but still a good album
