Talk Talk Talk (1981) — The Psychedelic Furs

This was a very fun album. Right away, I was endeared by Richard Butler's vocals, but the rest of the album held its own, too.

There was a refined sound throughout, even though the music itself was super varied and dynamic. The lyrics weren't revolutionary, but they were clever and loose. They worked well with the music and fit the overall theme of the album.

This was one of those albums that probably could've been a mess if they hadn't put so much care into it. That care made this an enjoyable listen the whole way through.
