"The big controversy concerning this CD is the quality of Siouxsie Sioux's voice. It sounds different to say the least. It's deeper and she seems to struggle to hit the notes. Was she sick or what?On the other hand, why would she release this recording if she wasn't happy with the results? I think you can make the case that her voice sounds creepy and compliments the dark subject matter of most of these songs. Rock n' Roll isn't always about being pretty, after all.The band sounds AWESOME and former Psychedelic Fur Knox Chandler fits right in, providing a gorgeously gothic guitar. But in all HONESTY, I'll be sticking with the original recordings that feature the Siouxsie voice I know and love."
