Words from the Front is Tom Verlaine's third solo album, released in 1982.[1] It was issued on compact disc in 2008 by Collectors' Choice Music. Music videos were made for "Words from the Front" and "Clear It Away", directed by Ed Steinberg.
The Globe and Mail wrote that Verlaine's "shadowy, intense vignettes do cast a kind of spell, but there are few new developments here in the territory he has already mastered."[11] The Boston Phoenix said that Words from the Front "is probably Verlaine’s weakest album, but it holds up."[12]
Words from the Front was ranked among the top fifty "Albums of the Year" for 1982 by NME.[13]
