Career context
At the time of its release in 1990, 'Vision Thing' was The Sisters of Mercy's third studio album, coming after their 1987 record 'Floodland'. This album marked a significant shift towards a more hard rock sound, influenced by the band's desire to reach a wider audience during the late 1980s and early 1990s, a period known for increased commercial pressures.
