The Sound - Sense Of Purpose (HQ)

[@olivierdupire6355]

the best hidden treasure of all time

[@kkrampage]

Agreed. Makes no sense this band didn't receive more airplay.

[@brucewillis542]

@@kkrampage It does and doesn't, if ye listen to the Cure from the same era and prior to the Sound, you'll see that they nailed what Borland couldn't/didn't.

[@gizmo4639]

Underrated band. Absolutely in love with this album.

[@RickRock337]

The structure of the beginning alone is enough to consider this band the greatest in Post-Punk. How the bass, then the drums, then the guitar and then Adrian's voice starts is inimitable. Perfect balance between atmosphere and rawness.

[@gabrielceballos8789]

one of the most powerful and inspiring songs ever honestly.

[@massivegat5087]

Powerful, raw, emotional and vaguely threatening. Adrian's emphasis on personal agency here is very unique in my opinion. He can't make the decision for you, but he can encourage you to take whatever measures available and improve your lot in life. "What are we gonna do? I'm asking, I'm asking you." We've all been there, and it's up to us to pull ourselves out. Channel that frustration and do something about it!

[@Billaki36]

I just discovered this band, how did this slip by me???? Totally underrated, I agree!

Adrian Borland was a genius !

[@gasda25]

one of the best songs from one of the best albums by one of the most underated bands ever

[@1002radio]

One of the best post-punk albums of all time. Borland always sang with conviction on every song.

[@alexanderpascuzzi2672]

*The best post-punk album FTFY

an all time classic track. gets better with every listen. dark , urgent - and yet still packs a great pop hook. Is there a more criminally underrated 80s band?

[@nsny24]

Some clame the chameleons as the most underrated 80s band but I believe this is far superior.

[@massivegat5087]

@@nsny24 Agreed. I quite like The Chameleons too, but The Sound is probably one of the most monumental bands ever to sadly go mostly unnoticed. They're damn near untouchable!

[@nsny24]

@@massivegat5087 I agree, damn near untouchable. I can appreciate the Chameleons but next to the Sound they 'sound' dated. There's a sense of urgency with Adrian and his lyrics. Also, he refused to promote the band through commercial music videos when everyone else was doing it. The band didn't go for happier sounding pop tunes either which was a must in the 80s top 40 radio. I suppose they were too genuine and there's a price to pay for being so. But admire them for being true to themselves.

[@massivegat5087]

@@nsny24 Same here. Adrian was extremely devoted to his music and under no circumstances would he and the band ever 'sell-out'. I hear All Fall Down was born from that desire to not conform to industry norms and the demands of their record label, creating an inherently anti-commercial LP. I don't think it's as bad as critics say either, I don't find the record to be hard to get into, it's just not a pop record; none of their stuff is. It's clear that songs like Party of the Mind would never receive radio play and that's okay. They kept true to themselves. On some days I actually enjoy Second Layer more than The Sound, Adrian and Graham's side project is bloody brilliant. So cold and almost wicked in a way, it's quite something! Just another example of them doing as they please and not compromising themselves and their vision at the behest of an overbearing label or the chances of commercial success. We lucky few who know of The Sound and Adrian's larger body of work are blessed. He is sorely missed.

[@nsny24]

@@massivegat5087 Not much i could add to your great reply. Party of the Mind is one of my favorites as well as Where the Love Is. That album is easy to get into if you have good taste in music. However, I'm embarrassed to admit I had no idea of their side project. Thanks for mentioning that. I'm looking forward to listen to it. Peace.

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

I chat to Mike Dudley and Graham Bailey of The Sound occasionally. A classic record by The Sound. C.P. 2022.

[@lucapasseroni6371]

one of the best new wave song

[@foxbatx]

Although their musical journey was not a commercial success, Nevertheless The Sound were such a creative and talented band in constant evolution, through their musical legacy we discovered their creativity, a distinctive sound among their compositions, poetry from the heart and musical greatness. It cannot be denied that they belong among the best bands of the 80s. What are we gonna do?

Seems a sincere journey indeed
