The Cure - Faith (RSD 2021 - Picture Disc) LP

***Recorded in 1981, this classic album took the band further down the road of despair, initiated with Seventeen Seconds, with an album full of mournful atmospheric tracks, including their hit single, "Primary." "ROBERT SMITH has expressed his appreciation for the music of Joy Division and I would say that this album, Faith, is The Cure's CloserÑdark, monotone, toy drumming with layers of anguish and compelling lyrics. 'The Funeral Party' is like Joy Division's 'Eternal'Ñdealing with loss in an effective, but original way. I compare The Cure's Faith album to Joy Division's Closer only to express how well I feel Robert Smith managed to make an effective albumÑthis is original, unique and beautiful music." Pressed on gray vinyl.
