The Cure - Seventeen Seconds (Vinyl LP 180g)
180g Vinyl • Remastered by Robert Smith • Picture Inner Sleeve
‘A Reflection’ opens on a few piano notes and a guitar line that barely moves. ‘Play For Today’ picks up the pace, a clipped drumbeat under a chiming keyboard riff. ‘A Forest’ is the centrepiece: a long, misty guitar introduction, a bassline that keeps descending, a vocal pushed back into the haze. At the end everything falls away and the bass carries on alone. ‘Three’ drifts by as an instrumental. The title track closes slow and grey, the drums steady to the last bar.

About the album.
Seventeen Seconds is the second album from The Cure, a post-punk record released on Fiction Records on 22 April 1980 that set the cold, atmospheric sound the band would carry through to Pornography.
Recorded at Morgan Studios in London, it was the first album Robert Smith co-produced with Mike Hedges. The line-up of Smith, Simon Gallup on bass, Lol Tolhurst on drums and Matthieu Hartley on keyboards appears only here, as Hartley left soon after.
‘A Forest’ was released as the single and became the band’s first UK top 40 hit, and the album itself reached the UK top 20. Built on space, repetition and restraint, the record pulled away from the jumpier new wave of Three Imaginary Boys and toward the gothic rock that followed.
This 2016 reissue on Fiction Records is pressed on 180-gram vinyl, remastered by Robert Smith, and comes with a printed picture inner sleeve.
The atmosphere it set up runs right through the band’s catalogue, from Disintegration in 1989, which took it to a far grander scale, to Songs Of A Lost World in 2024, their first album in sixteen years.
