I haven't listened to either LSL album in a long time, but I love "Fall On Tears" (from the second album) as much as any Furs song.

I, too, love "Until She Comes".

might quibble about the order of 2-4 but there's almost nothing between them to me. the album experience for the first 3 must be quite different depending on US/UK because of the weird and obviously wrong tracklistings chosen in the US

The re-sequencing of the first album especially is...bizarre.

1st LSL is very very good iirc, second one much less so

...well, no, though, looking up the Trysome Eatone track listing -- "Long Long Time" is real good, "Fall on Tears" is real real good, and "It Hurts When I Laugh" is real good -- if I can remember all those melodies from a very minor album all these years later, that speaks in their favor to me

this. the high points on LSL are devastating.

tho LSL would be classic if for no reason other than establishing just a single degree of separation between Richard Butler and Axl Rose.

Love Spit Love is brilliant. It's Richard reclaiming his lyrical crown and working with a band that nails the unique vibe he generates. Richard Fortus' touches with cello and mandolin and the sort of circus organ of Jon Brion creates a sound that is both aggressive and comforting. Their cover of "How Soon Is Now", a track that some days I could name as my single favorite song ever, is wonderful.

two months pass...

"Book of Days", damn, this song.

SHE'S 24 AND FEELS IT
LIKE A WASTED YEAR
FOR EVERY DAY THAT PASSES
SHE IS LEAVING ONE DAY
ONE DAY NEVER COMES

THIS ROAD IS POISON

I mean, I’m on the record re: Book of Days...

I ended up picking up "Book Of Days" and "World Outside" and really rate them. It's not surprising that not many even know them, all it takes is one bad album and the rats flee the ship and miss out on later excellent work (Gang Of Four, Killing Joke, etc.)
