Greyish album ever after Seventeen Seconds, which is why I like it less. Still very good, and much much better than the acclaimed but somewhat 'grand guignol' bloodbath of Pornography.

Ooh! I like the sound of that. Everything just sounds so fancy in French. Twisted Evil

LMAO. Anyhow, the atmospherics on Faith are incredible. They extend the ideas of the wonderfully inventive & brilliant 17 Seconds even further, removing the songs even further from a pop context and going almost strictly for mood. No band painted with grey better. While I personally prefer the "bloodbath" that is Pornography better, the two are both masterpieces. If only I could find more albums like them. The search goes on. Very Happy

I still have never listened to an album by the Cure. It's high on my list.

What's a good first Cure album? I tend to prefer pop/accessible if possible.

I like how the album art for this and Pornography are a fairly accurate picture of what the album will sound like.

This album is strange and unique in many ways. And Faith is indeed not only one of the best albums of this decade but also one of the greatest albums ever made by a human being. What I just said is a fucking fact! Deal with it!


I'm letting Mercury state my case for now on. Mercury's the cat's pajamas! <3

IMHO Seventeen Seconds > Faith > Pornography

That being said, Faith is a bloody great record. If nothing else, I absolutely adore the basslines in The Holy Hour and Other Voices. Both unbeatable.

Track Picks:

The Holy Hour
Other Voices
Primary
Faith
