The Scream is the debut studio album by English post-punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees, released in November 1978 on Polydor Records.

The Scream was an almost instant commercial success, peaking at number 12 in the UK Albums Chart. The album was also a critical success and is now regarded as a landmark of post-punk.

Famous quotes containing the word scream:

    I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it. That is why the children of survivors are so tragic. I see them in school. They don’t know how to handle their parents. They see that their parents are traumatized: they scream and don’t react normally.
    Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
