The second studio album from British alternative rock bandThe Cure, the 1980 album is considered an early example of goth-rock and new-wave, the album is led bygloomy, downbeat and atmospheric tracksfilled with ambient vocals.
From short instrumental pieces to robotic pop, Seventeen Seconds is where the Cure shed all the outside input and became their own band. AllMusic
The Final Sound, is so positively gothic you could almost be fooled into believing that it was lifted from the soundtrack of some Hammer horror gorefestJeff Apter, Never Enough: The Story of The Cure
