Free Music Notes for Scream (Dig)
Free Music Review: Harsh punk classic now enhanced
Hit: 4 Stars
My first encounter with Siouxsie and the Banshees was the vinyl single Hong Kong Garden, which has now been included here along with another early single, The Staircase (Mystery) from 1979. The melodic Hong Kong Garden with its oriental feel is atypical but welcome on this album of harsh heavy metal blended with psychedelia and its disturbing themes dealing mostly with the more unpleasant aspects of the psyche.
The overwhelming guitar onslaught is pierced by Sioux's stabbing shrieks and wails, creating a doom-laden atonal cacophony. Jigsaw Feeling is one of the few tracks that are immediately accessible. Their version of The Beatles' Helter Skelter is chaotic and chilling but nevertheless impressive. Another memorable outing is Metal Postcard (Mittageisen) with its vivid imagery and ominous chorus.
Overall, the music is extremely aggressive and the mood claustrophobic. I loved the second album, Join Hands, where they showed that one could create the same eerie feeling by being melodic and gentler on the ear. The Scream isn't an unlistenable album, but it takes guts and persistence to appreciate it. The Scream now gets four stars because of the addition of the aforementioned two songs.
