Title: 40 Minutes Of Doom
Review: Over their rather extensive recording career, the Psychedelic Furs have attempted to be all bands to all people, from proto-Goths to poppy synth stars. Most critics point to their debut release, which has its moments, but is a little dense overall. This, their second release, is much more accessable. It opens with "Pretty In Pink," the original version, not the version heard on radio today that was cleaned up for the John Hughes movie of the same name. Other strong tracks are "Mr. Jones" (this ain't no Counting Crows here), "Into You Like A Train" and "It Goes On." Their next release, "Forever Now," was produced by Todd Rundgren, and started their slow-but-inevitable slide toward irrelevance. This one is different, catching them while they still had their initial vision intact.
