Description

Faith is the third studio album by The Cure and one of the defining releases of the post-punk and gothic rock era. Released in April 1981, the album deepened the atmospheric, minimalist sound introduced on Seventeen Seconds, with Robert Smith crafting a haunting collection of introspective songs that have become some of the band's most enduring work. The album reached No. 14 on the UK Albums Chart.

Featuring standout tracks including Primary, The Holy Hour, Other Voices, All Cats Are Grey, The Funeral Party and the title track Faith, the album remains one of The Cure's most critically acclaimed releases and a cornerstone of their early catalogue.
