Different This Time is a stand out on this excellent album. The driving bass line sucks you into the poignant vocals so the lyrical pain can slap you down. But the title track, Rain, is the Pièce De Résistance. The Purge always makes me so happy to be made so sad.

While I tend to fall out of Goth/Industrial these days (please don't take my card, black is still my favorite color) and into other genres, The Purge always brings me back. The track "Self Repair" really hit home for me, lyrically and musically. The Cure influence is unmistakable, but it's also obviously a unique homage and not a stolen sound. Highly recommended.

I think a lot of people will become fans of The Purge because of Only Black, as it resonates with every goth. But It's a Bad Idea is a much more accurate personal anthem for me.

A perfect slice of summer gloom for those hazy, overcast days when only baritone-voiced post-punk will do.
