The Sisters of Mercy - Vision Thing

So far the latest studio album by the British "Goth"/Post-punk/Hard rock band The Sisters of Mercy. Vision Thing was released on November 13th, 1990 on EastWest records. By now, the Sisters had abandoned their Post-punk sound for a more Hard Rock influenced sound. Arguably the first attempt to combine Goth rock with Hard rock (apologies to Andrew Eldritch for using the "G" word). So technically, proto gothic metal, in the words of Andrew Eldritch "A fine album". Q Magazine included it in their Fifty Best Albums of 1990'. The album itself is a criticism of then president George Bush, the title is taken from an interview with George Bush, when suggested that he focused more on long term policies rather than short term ones, he responded "Oh, the vision thing.
