Average Rating: 
Rating:  - that voice!!!
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.
Rating:  - A top fifty all time debut...
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 ... Read More
Rating: - What a debut!
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.
Rating: - Essential listening
People were either introduced to the Psychedlic Furs by Pretty in Pink or the classic tracks Heaven and the Ghost in You. In contrast to Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me, Pretty in Pink is an excellent, original band track that just happened to be used in a poor, very dated 80's movie. If you didn't move past these Furs tracks or their parent albums, you're missing a lot. The Furs have just enough original albums/CDs to fill a CD multiplayer: P. Furs; Talk Talk Talk; Forever Now; Mirror Moves; Book ... Read More
Rating: - Buy the CD - see them live
I sought out the first Furs CD after seeing them live - and now can't stop playing it for its original raw edge. I went to see Death Cab for Cutie with the Furs on the bill and frankly the Furs blew away Death Cab - this was a big surprise. The final driving fist of a tune at the show - India - made me check out the eponymous first CD. If you like Interpol, Static Age, even Arcade Fire, you should check out this CD. Oh, and catch them live.
