The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry (1980 US Pressing)
Out of stock
$85.00
In the spectrum of self-conscious postpunk British bands, the Cure fall squarely between Wire’s sophisticated, jagged architectonics and the Undertones’ concise, wide-eyed pop music. They incorporate a little of each. I guess this means that these guys average out at the college-sophomore level, which is appropriate, since their first English single (the desert-spare “Killing an Arab”) was based on an Albert Camus novel. The Stranger. It’s hard to pull off such a feat without being called pretentious, but Boys Don’t Cry, the Cure’s American debut, proves they can transcend their Comp. Lit. 201 (Elementary Angst) scenarios.
