So i'm going through their discography again. They're one of my fav bands, no surprise.

Im going to rank all the albums, and pick the best tunes of each one.

So i'm listening to Faith right now.

Talk about an underrated record. The atmosphere is perfect, the songs are sad and beautiful at the same time. I feel like jumping in a endless hole.

Tell me if All The Cats Are Grey isnt one of the most relaxing songs ever.

The Funeral Party was a song to Robert's grandma. I feel totally involved when it starts.

Try to check this album in a cold dark night.

You can feel his despair in the song The Drowning Man, it's a powerful tune.

Faith is one of the best closers to an album, ever. Lyrics, music. Everything is right on spot.

His best vocal performance til Pornography.


I went away alone...with nothing left but faith.

Edited for new rank.

does this have anything to do with the freeleech on the greatest hits on what?

i only have disintegration

Talking about Three Imaginary Boys, its not a big expression of The Cure sound, but it was the beggining of it all.

Basically they had a more "punk" sound, more rough. Just a bunch of kids anyway.

But you cant deny that there are some great songs from that era. Boys Don't Cry still a classic, but it's not the only good one.

17 Seconds is a transition to their more well known dark sound. I dont know if its a transition to be sincere, since it's a complete different sound already.

If you analyse the demos from the 3IG-era, there are some songs like Winter, where you'll notice the begginning of their darker sound.

Well....i just wanted a thread to talk about them.

Whenever i want to do it, i have to bump an old thread.

I recommend The Head On The Door, from the bottom of my heart.

Pornography, their 4 album, is one of key albums of their carreer.

Robert totally possed by a dark sound. No wonder they're called goth by some people, and how they inspired many new goth bands, without even being goth.

It's more angrier than Faith and even more somber.


The opening lines:

"Doesn't it matter if we all die"

The closing lines:

One more day like today and I'll kill you
A desire for flesh
And real blood
I'll watch you drown in the shower
Pushing my life through your open eyes

I must fight this sickness
Find a cure
I must fight this sickness

edit for new rank.

I like Wish

It certainly will be on my top 5.

Do you like Dinsitegration?

Pornography is a flawless record. One of their best.

8 killer songs.

Then it comes the Top.

Oops....the first wrong step in their career.
Not a terrible album by any means, but if compared to the previous and the next one, it's bad.

The band were in crisis, Robert hired some guys to record the instruments, he played the most of them. It was a big mess. The biggest during The Cure career.

Anyway, it's a important record because it introduces a more poppier sound, a thing that would continue with the next 2 records.

While it's probably their worst record, there are some worth checking tunes.
The famous Catterpilar is here, also Piggy in the Mirror and Dressing Up. The rest i will left to the key songs thing.

i couldn't get into disintegration, i'll listen to the greatest hits tho and see what happens

i'm not huge on their early 'classics' like pornography and i think bloodflowers and the self-titled are great albums that fall only a little short of their best work. does this baffle you?

you may like it, then get The Head On The Door




hmmm depends, what you think about these albums:
Faith? Head On The Door? Wish? Disintegration? Wild Mood Swings? Kiss Me?

Faith: like i said not much of a fan of the early goth stuff

Head on the Door: great album, those songs are irresistible

Wish: a few songs I'm not big on but at it's best i think it can hang with disintegration, which is no small feat

Disintegration: one of the all-time greatest albums in music history. a lot of praise has been heaped on it, it deserves all of it and much much more.

Wild Mood Swings: meh, i don't hate it as much as most seem to but it's a big step down for them.

Kiss Me: love it, a sprawling mess but that's what makes it so good

I'm a huge Disintegration fan, but I also enjoy their pop side, which is why I favor Wish. It has the gloom and doom and lush instrumentation of Disintegration as well as some kickass rock tunes and some of their most awesome pop songs.
