The first of the three records that firmly cemented The Cure as Goth Rock royalty. Seventeen Seconds has all the mood, mystery and majesty we’ve come to expect from Robert Smith & co and his incredible songwriting chops cut through the gloom with soon to be live staples “Play For Today” and “A Forest.” One in a long line of Cure classics it’s a record that is equally suited for a variety of nighttime activities including crying into your pillow, mourning a lost love or dancing ’til dawn.
