Still an absolute classic album for me. I can still remember seeing them for the first time on this tour, I've still got a memory of where we were stood in the front stalls of the Birmingham Odeon, left of stage centre
The gig was a strange mix of all three albums up to that point and given how different the first is from Seventeen Seconds and Faith it shouldn't have worked but it did
It was also strange because there was no support band, instead they showed the film Carnage Visors which was basically a half hour long mad film with an instrumental track by The Cure (its on that there Youtube)
This album takes me right back to that night, every time
I'm also of the opinion that this is one of the very first Post-Rock albums, years before anyone had even decided it was a genre. It still sounds great and not really in a nostalgic way. If this was released tomorrow, it'd get a better critical reception than it got at the time
