I'm checking out Dreamhouse currently, and I'm up to Green Fingers thus far. That said, the out of tune, poorly played flute is absolutely abysmal. Yuck.

Yep, Green Fingers is a bit of an oddball, I get what you say, but for me it's still a great album. Slowdive, Cascade, She's A Carnival, Melt, Painted Bird..... some of the best Banshees stuff ever imo.

Watched Live in London show with Ripper Owens for reasons I am not sure of at this moment.
I see why they picked him at the time but those new songs from his era of albums were just not good at all. And Ripper's go to move of low note to high screams 10 times/10 with ZERO dynamic shifts anywhere were just tiring to listen to

I didn't dislike it. I just would've "lost" that track (not the song) if I was mixing or producing/whatever for the album.Yep, Green Fingers is a bit of an oddball, I get what you say, but for me it's still a great album.

JuJu over Dreamhouse for me - but McGeogh was prime Banshees for sure. But I was in London in 1981 when JuJu and the first Creatures EP were released.
The stuff from Dreamhouse gradually disappeared from the setlist over the years, but they still played Arabian Nights, Spellbound, Night Shift and often Christine and/or Happy House.

I hated that the Wahlberg film tried to add drama to Rob's exit and make it out to be something it wasn't.Watched Live in London show with Ripper Owens for reasons I am not sure of at this moment.

I hate that film across the board. "Accurate" or not

I'll take Wahlberg acting a bazillion times over him making music. Unless it's the song he does with John C. Reilly in Boogie Nights 
Rock Star is bad, chiefly because people already think metalheads are dumb enough as is without making some stupid "biopic" with the names changed about one of the best bands of the genre ever.
That Sheila E. horn riff is one of the first things I learned once I got a guitar synth

Juju is my second favourite Banshees album. It could well be my favourite, except Dreamhouse holds a lot of memories for me from back in '82/'83.
But having said that, the first album, The Scream, has its moments. Join Hands, the follow up, has a great side one ( vinyl),
side two, The Lord' s Prayer, is, to me, unlistenable.
Kaleidoscope? Nah...........
