They went on to enjoy commercial elevation and much bigger hair, but let’s remember The Psychedelic Furs as lean, hungry and thrilling. European sisters and brothers swooned to Richard Butler’s rakish rasp and the collective pulsing, throbbing post-punk drone. By the time US college radio got to it, the game was sadly up.

Wait a second, I myself played this record on US college radio when I was a US college student. Great disc.
For sure, you were a groovy early adopter... :-)
A classic - having heard the single "We Love You", I have fond memories of a friend who lived in a bedsit, but had a great stereo, playing this album - the opening minute or so with the fiddling, scratch sounds before the band kicks in gave me a visceral thrill then, and still resonates now. Subsequent albums still good, but veering more to conventional, stadium rock, although some stand out tunes. Oh how success spoils!
resonating.....
I saw them in KC 1981--the B brothers were fighting, boys really.
seemed a little Roxy music-ish at the time, with that sax player.
Good they are back on tour--that r.Butler's art work sucks.
Nice
