Cure's "A Night Like This: Live At The National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, UK September 20th, 1985" on splatter vinyl is a trip down memory lane for all us old goths who were too young to catch them on their Pornography tour.
As a seasoned music reviewer, I can confirm that this album captures the essence of Cure's moody, atmospheric sound with crystal clear audio quality.
From the moment Robert Smith's iconic voice croons out the opening notes of "Shake Dog Shake," you know you're in for a treat.
The band is on fire throughout the entire performance, with Simon Gallup's bass lines rumbling like thunder and Porl Thompson's guitar riffs slicing through the air like a sword.
Highlights include the haunting rendition of "A Forest" which sends shivers down your spine, and the infectious energy of "The Lovecats" that will have you dancing around your living room like it's 1985 all over again.
The real gem of this album, however, is the jaw-dropping encore featuring an extended version of "A Night Like This" that will have you reaching for your hair gel and eyeliner faster than you can say "Robert Smith is my spirit animal." Cure's "A Night Like This: Live At The National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, UK September 20th, 1985" on splatter vinyl is a must-have for any die-hard Cure fan, and a damn good time for those who are just discovering the magic of this legendary band.
So grab your black eyeliner, slip into your leather jacket, and let The Cure transport you back to a time when music was dark, brooding, and utterly captivating.
