The Raven

by The Stranglers

The Raven cover art

The Stranglers successfully navigated the changing post-punk landscape by incorporating increasingly complex, heavily sequenced synthesizers into their menacing sound. 'The Raven' is a remarkably dark, highly rhythmic, and surprisingly progressive new wave album that perfectly balances cold, anxious aggression with Dave Greenfield's highly melodic, playful keyboard wizardry.
