A vast, immersive plunge into gothic gloom and beauty, anchored by 'Pictures of You' and 'Lovesong'. Widely considered the band's masterpiece. Best experienced as one long, enveloping mood. The one in the run that sometimes gets overlooked — don't let it.
On vinyl: The original pressing is often easy to find second-hand in good condition.
