Free Music Notes for This Last Night in Sodom

Free Music Review: Best of Soft Cell
Hit: 5 Stars

These boys sing about depression, sex, sleeze, porn, murder, drugs, self abuse and self destruction.

Last Night in Sodom is sort of a slight departure from the previous works in that there is some guitar in some of the songs. The songs are more angrier in tone as well. "Mr Self Destruct" may be the closest Soft Cell has come to making an actual rock song. "Slave to This" is a chilling dirge where Marc Almond's lyrics are never more angry and desperate in this artsy track. "Meet Murder my Angel" is a great song that describes the mind of a killer before he takes out his victim. It is very creepy much like "Martin" is from the "Art of Falling Apart" CD. "Down in the Subway" is a catchy song in which Almond almost makes killing himself sound like fun or a happy event..heh. "Where was your Heart" is about a girl "giving it up" and losing her virginity to someone who never cared about her and just wanted to have sex with her. No, as you can probably tell there is no "Tainted Love" part 2 on this CD.

Hey, its great stuff from an 80's group who was way ahead of everyone else during this time period in ideas and also in sound. Almond is a great singer and his study of theater really shows when he sings. David Ball is one of the best keyboard players off all time......a must have.
