Totally. Even if you don't like the hits then the Flood II, Driven LIke The Snow, Neverland, Torch, Colours, Emma sequence are all up there with the second side of Closer or a the really good bits of an early Gary Numan record. None more black.
I absolutely loved Floodland when it came out in the 80s but cannot stomach it one bit now & quite embarassed by my brief dalliance with Eldritch. Strange one cos I still quite like the other kings of goth Bauhaus esp the last record Burning from the Inside
Could it be the drum machone thing? I know that is / was a barrier for some people.
