Wow, this album is criminally underrated. The guitar riffs found on here are even more hauntingly melancholic than those on Pornography.

The album came out in 2000 and you probably haven't even listened to it

Maybe Someday is probably one of my top three most played Cure songs. Very underrated. It and Wish should get more love.

Better than Pornography but worse than Disintegration
Angel Anderson
It's top 5 Cure, I'd put it up there with Disintegration, Pornography and Faith. First third of the album is some of their absolute best material, especially Where The Birds Always Sing.

Objectively true. I wouldn't call Pornography "hauntingly melancholic", just downright haunting.

I think Seventeen Seconds is a bit TOO skeletal overall. Its high points are goddamn amazing but half the album sounds like rushed takes, with them infamously running out of recording tape on The Final Sound. I think the record would've been a top 5 had they had the budget to record the whole thing comfortably.

This basically describes my long distance relationship. Sometimes, the memories can feel more real than the actual reality... If there was a paradise would we go...?

I don't know I think that's what makes it unique, it's one of the few non-ambient albums that I can listen to past 3 in the morning

Smith was definitely running out of ideas here. ANOTHER self-hate dirge about sex with a rando? except this one's about a jap (brits and their orientialism/exoticism) and this one's 11 minutes. blegh.
oh, haha, the song called "The Loudest Song" is actually quiet, get it??? xD wuw
The Last Day of Summer is good though.

Pornography is quintessential "i'm going to rope tomorrow-core"
Gabriel Sanders
I suppose that does award it a unique ambience. Still, I do think some of the songs could've been recorded a bit better and as an album experience it slips just under Wish and KMKMKM for me. I will never deny the potency of Play For Today and A Forest though, that's when they proved they were something special and Faith drove it home.

After Wild Mood Swings can you blame him for going back to the basics? Still, I think that album's incorporation of brass and strings goes far too unnoticed, they at least tried something different on that album. Bloodflowers onwards have very much felt like glory day retreads though, especially the S/T which almost plays like a Cure checklist. I do like it and Bloodflowers quite a bit, though. 4:13 Dream is...well, it gets points for its youthful energy at least.

>Where The Birds Always Sing
In my opinion, this is the single most underrated Cure song. The song has quite a unique atmosphere and the piano in particular sounds beautiful.
