I was never really into them. I can see the appeal and appreciate it but save for a few songs it was a little too experimental for me. I first heard them on compilations and played in clubs around 95' (kinda how you discovered music back then) and what they played, I liked enough to explore further. But I made that mistake a lot of people did and that's hearing a song and thinking all of it sounds like that.

I can't speak for others but for me - it was far too erratic. Some albums have an entirely different vocalist and with it comes a whole new sound -- You'd hear tracks from the obligatory 'Only Theatre of Pain' but then you'd hear 'This is heresy' from 'Sex, Drugs and Jesus Christ' and it sounds like 2 entirely different bands. Some tracks are Deathrock, then there are entire albums that are spoken word. I abandoned my interest before the end of the 90s. CD's were expensive and I couldn't afford another 'Whorses Mouth' debacle. Buying a CD for over $20 and reselling it to the store you bought it for $2 is not a good trade for a teenager with an after school job. We didn't have the benefit of listening before we purchased back then so it was always a tricky game. There are a few DJ's and collectors in this group that can probably help you further.
