Faith (The Cure album)
''Faith'' is the third studio album by English alternative rock band the Cure, released on 14 April 1981 by record labels Fiction and Polydor. Preceded by the single "Primary", the album was a moderate success commercially but was received ambivalently by critics. ''Faith'' saw the Cure continuing in the gothic rock vein of 1980's ''Seventeen Seconds'', which would conclude with the band's next album, ''Pornography''.
== Background and "Carnage Visors" ==
Following the tour for ''Seventeen Seconds'', the Cure returned to Morgan Studios on 27 September 1980 to record a new album. During this session, recordings of songs "All Cats Are Grey" and "Primary" were attempted, but neither ended up on the album. Robert Smith was hoping the tracks would sound "funereal", but instead he said "they just sounded dull".〔 Several other studios were tried: Red Bus, Trident, The Roundhouse and Abbey Road.〔
Much of ''Faith'' was written in the studio.〔 At least two songs on the album, "All Cats Are Grey" and "The Drowning Man", are inspired by the Gormenghast novels of Mervyn Peake.〔 ''Faith'' is the first album by the Cure to feature six-string bass guitar; the song "All Cats Are Grey" features Smith on keyboards and piano, with no guitar at all. The front cover, designed by former and future member Porl Thompson, is a picture of Bolton Priory in the village of Bolton Abbey in the fog.〔
The instrumental piece "Carnage Visors" (an antonym for rose-coloured spectacles; originally available only on the long-play cassette release) is the soundtrack of ''Carnage Visors'', a short film by Ric Gallup, Simon's brother, that was screened at the beginning of shows in place of a support band on the 1981 Picture Tour, and featured animation of several dolls in different positions and stances.〔 The film has since disappeared, and only Lol Tolhurst, Robert Smith and Simon Gallup own copies of it, though during a televised interview in the mid-1980s the host of the program surprised the band by playing a clip of the film on set.
