Before Peter Murphy was to become my MAIN GOD I discovered "The Psychedelic Furs" and got to see them live THREE times between '83 & '87!!!....When Richard Butler and Co. came on the stage back then something fucking SHIFTED IN THE UNIVERSE FUR-EVER!!!...
this album always reminds me of being an alienated teenager in the early 80s. it's got a "bored sunday" aspect to it, it makes me slightly queasy like most existential things. i still wear a black raincoat. i love this song the most on the album. a great song to listen to post-spliff.
You can't compare this with the Pistols or Clash. This record is a masterpiece, as Never Mind the Bolocks was...4 years before. I think the period 77-82 was one of the greatest in music history, with gems like this and many others (Pistols, Buzzcocks, Joy Division, Cure, Bauhaus, Felt, Josef K, Killling Joke and many others).
Amazing, cant go wrong with their first 3 LPs. Their time will come again and it will be because of songs like this. Richard! How about a live album from this period!
easily one of the most overlooked and influential records of the early 80's underground scene...as good as the clash...superior to the pistols...and reached a very very wide audience of disenfranchised anti classic rock american kids starving for great music...what memories!
@14jwh "superior to The Pistols" hahahahahahah..............why would you even compare? The Pistols were SO INCREDIBLY INFLUENTIAL your comparison beggars belief. There would have BEEN NO CLASH if it weren't for McLaren/Pistols. Have you taken leave of your senses? Talk Talk Talk was punk rock AT LEAST FOUR YEARS AFTER IT WAS INVENTED BY THE DAMNED & THE PISTOLS!
Love this song.

This is awesome. Reflecting on it, many years after first hearing it, sounds like Wire a bit.

One of the best albuns i ever heard.
With Heaven up here, from Echo and the Bunnymen
and closer from Joy Division, it is one of the gratest albuns ever.
