The Cure: 'Jumping Someone Else's Train' (Fiction)
Someone should get a medal for the sound quality, which slices out of the speakers with icy precision, perfectly matching the harsh but detached tone of the song, a sneering rebuke to trendies and bandwagon-jumpers. Anyone who found the Cure's first efforts interesting but musically a little limp and empty will be shocked by the concentrated vigour of this one.
