Wait for remaster!, Aoû 2 2004
You know what, it's not a bad album at all and "The Drowning Man" is amazing, but, if I were you and if you're a fan, which would in turn make you like me, I'd wait for the digital remaster due out in a few months. Robert Smith, the singer, always said the record company messed up the original mastering of this album on CD to the point he feels the cassette tape sounds better; he hopes to correct that by supervising the remaster. It'll also contain an extra disc of bonus sides.

Definitive cure, Jui 16 2004
Par Un client
By all accounts, the first 4 Cure albums are essential listening, but 'Faith' is the one album that possesses an integral majesty. This is an album that is at its best played from beginning to end.Outstanding tracks are 'The Drowning Man' (Smith's tribute to Peake's Gormenghast) and 'Faith', seamlessly connected by 4 clicks of the drumsticks...The greatest of the Cure's recordings, beautifully produced and wholly moving.

Faith.... for lack of a better word, Avril 21 2004
When I was in college ( a little over 15 years ago ) I took an overdose while listening to this cassette. I was considerably depressed, and this music seemed to either take me to this place I was at, or get me away from it. I still haven't figured that out, but that's neither here nor there. For years I couldn't stand to listen to Faith, because it brought back so many bad memories. But now I see it for what it is: grand in scale, hauntingly beautiful, moving, atmsopheric, not "rock" not "pop", it is what it is. Faith. A perfect thing. Full of so many emotions - helplessness, fear, dread, anger, doubt. Especially now ( in the age of digital downloads ) that I have heard many different live versions of the songs on Faith ( I especially like the live version of Faith, the title track, taken from the b-side of the Charlotte Sometimes 12" single, recorded in Sidney in 1981 - it is ESSENTIAL Cure - and the several live versions of the Drowning Man and All Cats Are Grey I have heard, which vary in quality as far as sound and technical proficiancy ) I have a new appreciation of the songs on this cd. Faith was not released in the US when originally issued, until a year or so later, by A&M, as a double cassette called "Happily Ever After" ( I still have a copy of it )which coupled Faith with Seventeen Seconds, from the year before. Then when the Cure were picked up by Elektra in the mid-eighties, Faith was re-issued by itself on cassette with the Carnage Visors soundtrack on the b-side. It is a 20 minute-plus instrumental, and I am sure it will end up on the cd re-issues that are due later this year. Although I consider it non-essential for the casual fan, completists ( of which I am one ) will find it interesting, if only because of its relative rarity.
