Nerves In the Flat Field is the first album by Bauhaus, one of the greatest goth bands,this was the band's 1st and arguably best studio album. In 1980, after almost single-handedly inventing the "Goth" generation with their debut single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead," Bauhaus recorded In The Flat Field for England's influential 4AD label. In The Flat Field is classic and influential, a deadly compilation. Though Bauhaus may be labeled as "Goth," the pealing feedback that opens the record ("Dark Entries") and the anguished howl in the first line of "Double Dare" (I dare you to be real!") prove that they arrive with the same punk rock pedigree as many of their contemporaries.
