Faith, along with Seventeen Seconds and Pornography, take me back to design school. The Cure remains one of my favorite post punk bands. Thanks for the reminder.

As famous as The Cure are, and Robert Smith almost as much... this remains underrated beauty.

I was a kid in the 80's and somehow missed this! Wayyyy back I really only scratched the surface of The Cure, so thanks for this!

OMG, it is one of my FAVORITE bands of all time! I love every single song that they have written. Like the Clash, the Cure will always be a part of my life. 🫶🫶💝💝👏👏

Agree with all of that. Couple of friends and I played the album when it first came out all night, as my parents were away, and we all still remember the experience of hearing All Cats Are Grey with a thunder storm going on outside in rural Gloucestershire. My favourite Cure album.

One of my favorite songs by my favorite band of all time. The first time I saw them in concert was in NYC on their 2011 Reflections tour during which they played their first three albums (Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds, Faith) in their entirety. When they played All Cats Are Grey, it was one of my best ever live music moments. They followed up those three albums by playing three encores for a total of 46 tracks and over three hours on stage. One of the top five concerts of my life.

The Cure is a group I've consistently listened to since I heard about them back in the '80s. Robert Smith's voice is still the perfect fit for their pop-emo sound. Excellent choice with this song. Thank you for bringing back this classic.

They’ve never been afraid of long intros. Even on the new record. You don’t hear it much anymore. At all?
