The Greatest Music
The Scream
The 953rd greatest album of all time
The Scream is the 1978 debut album by Siouxsie and the Banshees that presents a tense, spare post-punk sound marrying angular guitar textures, propulsive basslines and stark, tribal drumming with Siouxsie Sioux's dramatic, enigmatic vocals. Its songs favor jagged rhythms, eerie atmospheres and bold lyrical imagery, making the record an early touchstone for gothic rock and the darker edge of new wave.
