A soundscape that combines the melancholy and beauty of post-punk
This is the pinnacle of Echo & the Bunnymen's introspective and poetic musical world.
The richly shaded vocals of Ian McCulloch and the guitar of Will Sergeant create a deeply impressive soundscape. Songs such as "The Cutter" have a literary depth that transcends the boundaries of new wave, and are supported by the solid groove of the rhythm section. This is a masterpiece that represents the British alternative scene of the 1980s.
