The Rapture
You have to respect Siouxsie Sioux's role as an influence-without her,  there wouldn't be nearly as much black nail polish at Lollapalooza-but  artistically, she's been treading water since the mid '80s. Siouxsie and the  Banshees'The Rapturecontinues the singer's long, sad decline into  shlocky, synthesized cabaret music. The only one of the 12 tunes that stands out  is the strings-drenched, 11:32 title track, and that's only because it sends you  running to hit fast forward.--Jim DeRogatis
