Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Psychedelic Furs perfected their signature wall of sound on 'Talk Talk Talk', driven by Steve Lillywhite's incredibly dense, layered production. Anchored by the era-defining original recording of 'Pretty in Pink', the album is a lush, highly energetic barrage of droning post-punk guitars, swirling saxophone, and Richard Butler's sarcastic, deadpan poetry.
