Saw them for the first time tonight. Great show and I had great tickets. About 20 rows back. Combination of pop hits, darker tunes and hard jams. Very pleasantly surprised.
They turned 'Killing An Arab' into a hard rock tune.
Glad I went!

uh for years the whole gothic style turned me off. i thought i didnt like their music at all....until i came across the album bloodflowers. underrated is an appropriate term that applies to this band. they have accumulated a catalogue of pretty good songs. i guess one problem is they're not a classic british rock'n'roll band like the stones or oasis but rather a representation of pure british indie art from the 80s. edit* theyre also one of them bands that the rolling stone hates with a vengeance

One of the first bands I saw live, way back on the tour they did to promote their album "Faith"
I remember they had a really weird video that they showed before they came on called "Carnage Visors" ... why my memory still retains this after 40+ years will forever be a mystery!
They lost me after the Pornography album. Maybe I should give them another go? After all, it has been over 40 years ...

You can hear the full soundtrack to Carnage Visors on the deluxe reissue of Faith.

It's incredible that they're still in a top form after decades. Saw them last year for the second time again and Robert Smith's voice never gets old.
