This was literally the commercial back in the 80s.
Nothing can compare to the original, but I’m glad we get to live in a world where this happened.

This takes me back! I remember listening this album on repeat a road trip to Seattle in ‘96 or so. He’s definitely on my bucket list of artists to see live, but he can’t seem to finish a tour.

That’s a perfect description. If you want to check them out, the Wings Of Joy album is a good place to start. Or the EP collection. Their late 90s and 2000s stuff isn’t really to my liking, though.

They’re more shoegaze than anything else, especially in their later albums, but they had a couple of heavier songs like this one early on. They opened for The Cure on the Wish tour in ‘92. I think the singers weird toddler-sounding voice put a lot of people off and they pretty much disappeared by the mid-2000s.
I saw them twice in the 90s. They were a pretty cool live act; very down to earth - I remember a few of the band members hanging out behind the theater after a show smoking cigarettes with the fans.

Yeah, the main riff is kinda dorky but I like the sparser guitar work during the verses.
Tolhurst’s drums carried the whole album though, and it’s probably my favorite album by The Cure. It’s just so bleak!

I tried to like them but I feel like they don’t really even care about me.

The octopus is my favorite. Spider is a close second.

Nothing particularly original or unique - mostly off-the-shelf except for the fence, but a little light and fog go a long way.

Saw them over the summer and they played this song! Great show with lots of surprises.

As someone born in the 70s, I have to correct you - 1975 was not 48 years ago. 30 maybe. 35, tops.

I’ve wondered about this too. I posted a song a couple days ago that got downvoted to hell.. I just assumed people hate Doja Cat. I’m no fan either, but it seemed like a good connection to me. 🤷

Love this song. They’ve been playing it on their tour this summer!

Numan is great. I’ve seen him twice in the last year or so. All of his songs hit harder live. His guitarists are amazing and really steal the show for me.

That’s good to hear. I’ve been going to see a lot of these old guys lately - some are better than ever (Gary Numan), and some should have retired years ago (Sisters of Mercy).

Haven’t watched this video in a very long time. Going to see them live in just a few weeks!
