The purchase of McGeoch is fundamental, a great record and the beginning of a new phase for the band, their first work marking a departure from the rougher, raw style of the first two (splendid, in any case) albums. Siouxsie and Severin reinvent the band and from here they begin to "refine" themselves, with their captivating and softer Dark-Wave that will characterize the following albums. This is an excellent record, featuring outstanding tracks like "Hybrid" and the trio of "Desert Kisses," "Red Lights," and "Paradise Place," as well as the very successful pop and lively pieces, McGeoch's irresistible riff in "Happy House" or even "Trophy" and so on. With "Juju" there will be a further step forward, with the most successful album of Siouxsie’s "phase 2."
