The Cure.

For me, Faith, Pornography, and The Head At The Door are the best Cure albums, and in that order.

 

I agree with Edwin that Disintigration is a bit too long. Still a good album though.

[Zorin Industries 0]

I'd go Pornography, Boys Don't Cry and Faith, in that order. Boys Don't Cry gets second purely for Fire In Cairo, my favourite Cure song and in my top five songs ever.

Anytime i read "A Night Like This" my brain automatically thinks of the James Iha version instead of the Cure version, even though I know and like the Cure version better. But James' stupid deep voice always trumps it. Eh, its not that bad but its weird.

One overlooked song that I really liked is "Cut Here" on their best of album.

I agree with the above post. "Cut Here" is like...my 3rd or 4th favorite Cure song behind "Pictures of You" and a few others. Really good song, there.

I've long believed that there should be a video for "Mint Car" that involves Robert Smith rolling around in a field with a bunch of puppies.

Also, 'Lullaby' gets a bit overlooked.

No it doesn't.

I like that song.

So do I. I think it gets a fair decent shake on the album, probably more so than Fascination Street.

Killing an Arab is so random for the Cure.

Boys Don't Cry sounds a lot like Boy, especially those solitary ringing guitar notes on "10.15 Saturday Night."

So Seventeen Seconds is the most boring album ever. "A Forest," aside.

I tend to associate all my music with either winter or summer, unless sometimes something I bought in the summer works a lot better with the winter.

Wrong thread, bro.

 

So, Cure fans, what about Seventeen Seconds? Such a mechanical, lugubrious affair. And deceiving! It's only 35 minutes, but it felt at least twice that.

[Wyld Cannon 0]

i think people overlook the catchiness of Six Different Ways.

 

which is now going to be stuck in my head all day.

[Guest "Go, Mordecai!"]

I liked Boys Don't Cry more than Disintegration at first, but the latter grew on me. Too much content. I wasn't ready. All the snappy little post-punk songs on Boys Don't Cry are much more palatable on the first listen. Good repeat value, too. It's a good album, or rather American compilation.

Its been a long time since I listened to Seventeen Seconds all the way through, I do like a Forest and Play For Today though. I'll probably give it another listen when i'm around town tomorrow and see how it sounds as a whole.

It's a mood piece. It's quite enjoyable if you're in the right frame of mind for it. But I can definitely see where it becomes a chore otherwise.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Fair enough, but I can dig and do enjoy a lot of sad bastard music. This one is, as you said, a chore.

I got about 30 seconds into Secrets when I thought "Bollocks to this, i'm just going to listen to Faith again"

 

I can listen to the odd song on its own, but as a full piece its a hard slog.

Did anyone like the newest self titled album? It's probably one of the few Cure cd's where I never skip a single song. It's good from start to finish, IMO.

I'm becoming less sure about this band as time goes on, but I've come to like Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me more and more.
