Japan--Quite Life vs. The Cure--Seventeen Seconds

Here we go the 1st battle of the Albums.

Two Albums that have a similar ambience and releaced with in 6 month of each other. I think this is a good match up. The Quite life LP which was realeaced Dec 1979 and Seventeen Seconds in May of 1980. Both Albums are a bit moody but you can tell Japan's Quite life is a bit more instramentally advanced played by more compitent and tecnically proficient musicians.


Japan better win this one.

"Seventeen Seconds" by the Cure wins this one. I was never a big fan of Japan, have tried listening to them multiple times, and just could never get into them, although I do like David Sylvian's vocals. The only thing I remotely liked by Japan was "Gent
