CURE – FAITH

Description

Released as it was between the seminal ‘Seventeen Seconds’ (1980) and ‘Pornography’ (1982), The Cure’s third full-length ‘Faith’ (yep, you guessed it, 1981) is often slightly overshadowed by the enormity of the albums either side of it. This is to do ‘Faith’ an injustice – perhaps the most gothic and portentous of all of their early LPs (and that’s saying something), ‘Faith’ is just as crucial a record in the band’s development as any of those other early tomes.
