The second full-length studio album by legendary British Dark Wave/Gothic Rock band.
While the goth scene in England was picking up commercial steam in the mid-'80s, the Sisters Of Mercy may have seemed quiet, but they roared back with 1987's "Floodland". Andrew Eldritch (along with bassist Patricia Morrison) creates a black soundscape that is majestic and vast. While the earlier Sisters releases were noisy, sometimes harsh affairs, "Floodland" is filled with lush production (thanks to Meat Loaf writer/producer Jim Steinman and the New York Choral Society) and lyric imagery that is both scary and glorious. The slower tracks, like "Flood" and "1959", are some of the best ethereal sounds Goth has to offer, and the downright regal "This Corrosion" is one of the best songs of the genre. Being close to an Andrew Eldritch solo album, "Floodland"’s ultimate place in The Sisters Of Mercy’s discography may be unclear to some. The album considered by many to be a step sideways in the band’s musical direction, but it’s definitely a nice wandering off the beaten path of Dr. Avalanche.
"Floodland" and its singles had a positive commercial performance. The album debuted in the United Kingdom at number 9. Its pre-orders assured it Silver certification status from the BPI on the day of its release. The three singles released to support the album were "This Corrosion", "Dominion", and "Lucretia My Reflection". In the UK, "This Corrosion" peaked at number 7, "Dominion" peaked at number 13, and "Lucretia My Reflection" peaked at number 20. In Germany, "Floodland" entered the top 100 albums chart on 14 December 1987, staying there for twenty weeks and reaching number 32. In 1988, the album was certified Gold by the BPI for selling 100,000 copies in the UK. The album also peaked within the top 40 in other European countries. It reached number 101 in the Billboard 200 on 12 March 1988. In 1993 "Floodland" went Gold, with 250,000 sold units.
A definite milestone!!
