"It all takes shape on Faith. Just listen to "The Funeral Party", a gorgeous, slow-moving synth wash that anticipates both Disintegration and the theme from "Twin Peaks". This album winds its way from ultra-sophisticated pop thrills ("Primary") to synth mope ("All Cats are Grey") to fierce snarls ("Doubt") to snakey exoticism ("Other Voices"), all without ever changing its raw, minimalist instrumental setup or really seeming to shift course at all. It's packed with effortless old-fashioned emotional communication; it's a stone-cold classic".

It's packed with effortless old-fashioned emotional communication; it's a stone-cold classic; and here we reach the point where critics temper fan-boy impulses and leave well enough alone".

"... But it's not all gloomy keyboards and minimalist percussion, Faith is also a milestone for Robert Smith lyrically, branching out into questions of faith and spirituality he never quite touched on so well ever again. A depressing record, certainly, but also one of the most underrated and beautiful albums the Cure put together. They would not touch on this sort of lush sadness so well again until 1989's Disintegration".
