★Mo-Fi 半速重刻，解放歌德搖滾經典黑暗的吶喊。

★AMG讚譽：「…作為下一個音樂世代的音樂藍圖」。

  這張首發專輯可以說是該團體最重要的作品。該團體於 1980 年成立，在 1983 年發行兩張EP後迅速走紅，準備發行第一張專輯，無奈阮囊羞澀，於是該團奔波各地巡迴演出之際，該團的主唱 Andrew Eldritch 四處尋找願意支援的唱片公司，最後與 WEA Records 簽約，順利出片。雖然團員自認這專輯的樂風是老搖滾的延續，但不少樂迷將這張專輯視為歌德搖滾的聖經。

The template for all goth-rock records that followed, Sisters of Mercy's First And Last And Always stands as one of the - if not the most - influential albums of its kind ever released. Distinguished by Andrew Eldritch's ghostly singing, which gives the impression of hearing a forlorn ghoul croon from a foggy English graveyard, the 1985 set is drenched in gloom, claustrophobia, black humor and dance-ready beats that provide exhilarating contrasts. Fans of the Cure, Depeche Mode, Love and Rockets, Peter Murphy, mid-period Nick Cave and Joy Division will find it to be a new favorite record.
