''First and Last and Always'' was made at a tumultuous time in the band's career, which involved Andrew Eldritch out of his mind on amphetamines for large chunks of the sessions, stringing himself out until he had to be hospitalised, and culminated in guitarist Gary Marx leaving the band in a huff around the time of the album's release. For this album, they tried for a warmer sound with more sophisticated guitar-pop and less challenging lyrics.

''First and Last and Always'' was made at a tumultuous time in the band's career, which involved Andrew Eldritch out of his mind on amphetamines for large chunks of the sessions, stringing himself out until he had to be hospitalised, heaps of material being left by the wayside (some of it later reworked by Marx and Hussey to be used in Ghost Dance and The Mission respectively), and culminated in guitarist Gary Marx leaving the band in a huff around the time of the album's release. For this album, they tried for a warmer sound with more sophisticated guitar-pop and less challenging lyrics.

You could also count ''Gift'', which was released under the pseudonym "The Sisterhood" in 1985 by Eldritch, Morrison, Avalanche, Lucas Fox, James Ray and [[Music/{{Suicide}} Alan Vega]] in the midst of the legal dispute between Eldritch on the one side and Hussey and Adams on the other. The album secured Eldritch's legal right to continue as "The Sisters of Mercy" while Hussey and Adams were forced to rename their band to "The Mission" ("The Mission UK" in the US, as there had been another band with that name). Somewhat more importantly, they also have ''Some Girls Wander By Mistake'', a compilation of (most) of the singles and [=EPs=] they released during the early '80s before they actually had a recording contract. It contains many of their best (and a few of their worst, and they'll tell you that) songs.
None of these albums sound anything like each other, except for Eldritch's Darth Vader-ish vocal style. ''Some Girls'' was about icy, mechanical drum machine beats coupled with deep bass and high-end, minimal guitar riffs ("Alice" is notable because...well, because it's awesome, but also because the riff is almost always mistaken for [[Music/{{ACDC}} AC/DC]]'s "Thunderstruck" from 8 years later. The riffs are both one-string wonders using the same string). Note that Eldritch plays the drums quite horrendously on "The Damage Done", although most the other stuff on the the album use a drum machine. ''First and Last and Always'' tried for a warmer sound with more sophisticated guitar-pop and less challenging lyrics. It's also the most stereotypically gothic of the releases. ''Floodland'', produced when the band was reduced to Andrew Eldritch, a drum machine, the New York Choral Society and whoever else was around (Patricia Morrison on bass and a session guitarist for "This Corrosion"), is heavily synthesized, lushly (and bombastically) produced, and can be summed up as "industrial gothspel". It's also the one that depends most on Eldritch being a singer and a lyricist.
It's their best selling album.
