I was discussing the Furs with a friend of mine recently, a diehard fan of theirs, and it prompted me to go back and listen to some of their earlier material which I hadn't really been hugely into before. And you know what? I'm still not really into it, or at least their first album. Too ramshackle, too unfocused, too hard to discern any real melodies under the noise. And while I'm not particularly pro or anti Richard Butler's voice, it's pretty grating on most of the debut.
This is, however, a lovely song - and a good indication of the (vastly superior) direction they would be taking in the future.
