Title: Beautifully Dark, Melodic Classic
Product review: This is probably the Banshees' most immediately accessible album, and it is also one of their best. The lyrics are as dark as ever, but it never sounds overwhelming. To my ears, Tinderbox ranks with Juju at the very top of their catalog, although it is a very different style of album. The sound is definitely guitar-driven alternative rock circa the mid 80s. The songs are excellent. The album is most known for the single Cities in Dust, but The Sweetest Chill and the trio of songs that immediately closed the original album (on my aging vinyl) are much better: Party's Fall, 92 Degrees, and Land's End. This album also works as an album with a cohesive sound and theme. Highly Recommended.
