The Cure: Robert Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Simon Gallup (bass); Laurence Tolhurst (drums).
Engineers: Mike Hedges, Graham Carmichael, David Kemp.
If you ever observed (or were) a pale depressed-looking teenager dressed entirely in black, sitting in the corner scribbling frantically into a marble bound notebook, then you already understand the Cure. In the '80s the Cure provided the soundtrack for an entire generation of misfit toys, and if SEVENTEEN SECONDS was a wake-up call for the dispossessed, FAITH is the daily affirmation. Scaled back down to a three-piece with the loss of keyboardist Hartley, the Cure is a lean, mean fighting machine, ready to rumble.
"Rumble" is the best way to describe the propulsive bass playing of Simon Gallup, whose rolling bass anchors both mid-tempo numbers like "The Drowning Man" and faster fare such as "Primary." While no new ground is broken ("Doubt" is basically a rewrite of "Play for Today") FAITH is stunning in its simplicity and haunting beauty, as evidenced by "All Cats Are Grey" and "The Funeral Party." Even Drummer and mascot Lol Tolhurst's minimal beats work to perfection next to the spare but effective instrumentation of "Faith." This is quintessential Cure.

Certainly not the "darkest" the Cure would eventually get, Faith is, as represented by the cover art, one of the most "gray" records out there. Melancholy and despondent (the feel of funerals and old churches just oozes from this record) without the anger that would over take Pornography, Faith comes off as not just a collection of songs, but as a full piece. "The Holy Hour," "All Cats Are Grey," and the spectacular "Faith" are slow atmospheric pieces that take the softer elements from Seventeen Seconds, and -- when sidled up next to faster tracks like the single "Primary" and "Doubt" -- paint an overall picture of the ups and downs contained within a greater depressive period. But it's not all gloomy keyboards and minimalist percussion, Faith is also a milestone for Robert Smith lyrically, branching out into questions of faith and spirituality he never quite touched on so well ever again. A depressing record, certainly, but also one of the most underrated and beautiful albums the Cure put together. They would not touch on this sort of lush sadness so well again until 1989's Disintegration. ~ Chris True

The Cureの81年の3rdアルバムの2CD版でDISC2にはデモ音源などを収録。オリジナルアルバム自体がモノトーングレイなジャケも相まって地味に捉えられがちだが、アッパーな名曲「Primary」や、澄み切った真冬の森の中でゴリゴリとベース音が鳴り響くような壮大ナンバー「Other Voices」など実は注目度の高い作品。初期好きはマスト作です。

前作で基盤を固めトリオで製作された3rd。行き場の無い『死』への感情が作風になっており、以降も発揮される独自のダークネスやゴス・ロックの要素、モノクローム感醸し出すベースラインが展開されるけど、これが『陰』だけでなく時に神々しく聴こえてくるから凄い。
