Customer Reviews

that voice!!!3
I never liked Richard Butler's vocals I think they are to raspy like he has a bad cold all the time or something. However I can not deny that this is a solid alternative rock album SISTER EUROPE and SUSANS STRANGE are actually alright. Maybe he is an aquired taste for me it was more so the rest of the bands playing I liked more, Butler came second. I will be fair and say its worth getting.

A top fifty all time debut...5
Amazing, ground-breaking album. A true "vinyl length" lp, it has been released in a few forms, but I find the Columbia release from 2002 to be the finest issue. The added demo version of "Flowers" is devastating.

This, to me, along with the second album, is the punk rock version of the Furs. Incidentally, it's also my favorite version of the Furs. Punk Rock in that it sounds so very terse, yet you can identify all of the atmosphere and melodicism that marks the later works. It just.....sounds more raw, like the best debut albums always do.

To me, an essential addition to any upstanding record collection. To you, this should be the first of their proper lps to buy. "Wedding Song/Blacks/Radio/Flowers" is 20 of the best minutes you'll ever spend in front of a pair of good speakers.

What a debut!5
This is the best band to debut in the 80's. They had even better albums than this one, but this sure wasn't a bad start. The only album to be avoided, at all costs is Midnight to Midnight. Aside from that, do yourself a favor and buy everything by this amazing band.
