80s Jams #23: The Cure "All Cats Are Grey" (1981)

Nearly any track from the Cure's astonishing Faith album could be singled out as particularly strong or striking even for them, but "All Cats Are Grey" has a better claim than most. A lengthy number, with drummer Lol Tolhurst's simple but effective work, softly echoing and bouncing from speaker to speaker as the song progresses, it's one of the band's best codifications of bleak mood as surprising, close warmth, musically and vocally. -- Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:gpftxzl5ldhe
