The Mission
Gods Own Medicine
Genre: Goth Rock
3.75 out of 5
2 parts Sisters of Mercy, One part Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry and some others is what this record is, apparently. Seems like this was happening a lot back then. Bands getting fed up with each other, splitting off, creating new versions of the same thing but with slightly different takes.
You know what, though? Instead of that slave-to-Bowie sound that was Sisters of Mercy, this is more accessible, more…Ocean Rain-ish/U2-ey. That just means it’s derivative of the latter instead of the former. There’s a reason I never heard of The Mission.
