I know this is just a silly theory, but I think they actually took the photo of the reflection of the Bolton Abbey Priory in the water, flipped it, and put that on the front cover, rather than a photo of the Priory itself taken on a foggy day, and then blurred or whatever.

Top voted comments:

"Cannot decide between this and Pornography. Both are masterpieces of the darkest and the most "goth" Cure period. Holy Hour against One Hundred Years, All Cats Are Gray against A Strange Day and so on..."
- LedZep (Rating: 90/100)

"This is my favourite of the earlier darker records. It's consistent all the way through with stunning moments such as, the holy hour, all cats are grey, and the title track. I always found, seventeen seconds, a little uneven, but this is right on it from start to finish. A great band record, when The Cure were still a band and not a Robert Smith solo project."
