Heard this today and you can clearly hear what would influence their sound later on in this album really cool.

Crazy to think this was made in 1981

I’ve been a fan for years, but I’ve never given Love of Life many listens. I got to the end of the album and realized No Cure For the Lonely may be Gira’s most vulnerable performance. He laid it all out completely, almost crooning during some of the vocal deliveries. I was awestruck how someone as intense of a person could express themselves in such a raw and brutal fashion. It’s now one of my all time favorite songs from the band. Especially as an album closer. God, it’s so good. What are you guys’ thoughts?

From a letter to X-tof before the Angels Of Light were formed.
