I hear a lot of Pornography in this.

How do you guys feel about Robert Smith's other musical ventures, like his time in Siouxsie & The Banshees, and The Glove?

Never listened to The Glove but I have a hard time getting into the poppier end of the spectrum when it comes to the Banshees. I'm less a KITD/Hyaena/Peepshow guy and more a Join Hands/Juju/Tinderbox guy.

Staring at the Sea is classic

>Join Hands/Juju/Tinderbox
My fucking nigga. I'm assuming you've already heard The Scream. You should check out some of their early singles, B-sides, and Peel sessions if you like their more punk-sounding stuff.

I got caught up talking about the Banshees and forgot to mention The Glove. It's a side project of Robert Smith and Steve Severin of the Banshees. They only released one album, but it's worth checking out.

based and dare i say it? redpilled

Kiss me, disintegration & head on the door are my top 3 no order.

>covering 20th Century Boy and not changing the male pronouns
Siouxsie radiates big dick energy.

I really like the whole pop aspect to it. I was considering putting head on the door instead but mint car really tipped it over for me

Three imaginary boys
Seventeen seconds

Granted, Mint Car is stupid underappreciated. The solid cuts from WMS are indeed worthwhile. No one ever gives stuff like This Is A Lie, Numb or Treasure credit.

Siouxsie has the biggest metaphorical dick.

I like the cold synth and drums of porno better

Thanks like it

2. Strangeways, Here We Come

Predictably popular answer and I can't argue with that, but they certainly have more good stuff than just these 3.
I intially wasn't impressed with all their 00s material, including Bloodflowers. While I'll certainly return to that one, what about the other two? I liked them even less and kinda hesitant to even give a second chance. Do they have something good to offer, that I missed are there some good standout songs you'd rec to revive my interest?

Bloodflowers is my 4th favorite, excellent album. I personally think S/T is underrated, get past the production and it plays like a bit of a career retrospective that delves a little heavier into Pornography than any other era. I don't think it has any outright bad songs really with Lost, alt.end, Taking Off and The Promise as highlights. Not nearly as keen on 4:13 Dream - Underneath The Stars is pretty good and I get what they're trying to do with the looser songwriting but at the end of the day it just feels like an awkward WMS 2.0, like some unholy mix of Strange Attraction and Jupiter Crash.

Faith is a bit more consistent, but I'm equally close to putting The Top there. I love that record, the sounds are so incredibly colorful, and the B-side totally just goes.

Thanks for a reply, gave me some interesting perspective to go into s/t, seems to be really divisive one.

It is intensely divisive, the production leans more on the plodding side and it ruins the album for some. I've seen people here give it like a 3/10 and I think the songwriting on its own merits more than that, a tune like The End of the World is still the kind of hit Smith could pen in his sleep.

Oh, and one little known quality about the album - Smith went out of his way to improve his vocal range on it so it's arguably his most diverse vocal performance on record, or at least since The Top.

These three, all equally excellent. Like said it's a predictable answer, but they're the most cohesive albums, to my mind

BONUS: Charlotte Sometimes is their best single, fite me

Based as fuck
