You should like it, but still consider it inferior to Pornography

>inferior to Pornography

Genuine 10/10

All songs go perfectly together to make one of the best dark albums
It's like full evolution of Joy Division sound

Pornography [A&M, 1982]

Why so glum, little boy? You got your contract and your synthesizers. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with them. Cheer up, there's no need to be upset. C+

Disintegration [Elektra, 1989]

With the transmutation of junk a species of junk itself, an evasion available to any charlatan or nincompoop, it's tempting to ignore this patent arena move altogether. But by pumping his bad faith and bad relationship into depressing moderato play-loud keyb anthems far more tedious than his endless vamps, Robert Smith does actually confront a life contradiction. Not the splintered relationship, needless to say, although the title tune is a suitably grotesque breakup song among unsuitably grotesque breakup songs. As with so many stars, even "private" ones who make a big deal of their "integrity," Smith's demon lover is his audience, now somehow swollen well beyond his ability to comprehend, much less control. Hence the huge scale of these gothic cliches. And watch out, you mass, 'cause if you don't accept this propitiation he just may start contemplating suicide again. Or take his money and go home. C+

>you should like it, but still consider it inferior to Pornography
They're two sides of the same coin and suggesting either is superior or inferior means you don't know the music very well.
Faith is darker than Pornography if that's what you're after.

I could like Disintegration better if the album weren't so stupidly long and bloated.

Faith > pornography > 17 seconds > disintegration

I think that's what I like about it the most. The songs, although meandering, add to the overall mood of the album. At least for me. Especially on a rainy bus ride to work.

you should make your own opinions

fag

so wrong

I'm not much of a Cure fan, but Christgau can always piss me off to no end about anything fucking godamn

I really like it, although I rarely listen to it in its entirety because

I fucking hate that man

Boys Don't Cry [Fiction, 1980]

The sound is dry post-punk with arty wit and flourishes abounding. Everything is also treated with a proper pnemonic pop overlay; listen enough and you'll be able to recall a phrase or two from almost all of these 13 songs. Intelligent phrases they are, too. But what are we to make of a band whose best song references Camus's "The Stranger", a book that was holy writ for collegiate existentialists since before Robert Smith was born? I mean, do we really need collegiate existentialism nostalgia? B+

This is not rock-and-roll. Sorry. This is bad synthpop.

hanging yourself. because you probably feel like it now.

the only "bad" song is Lovesong but the rest of the album is able to make it listenable

Christgau is the ultimate review shitposter

have yet to see someone of his caliber anywhere on RYM or any music review site

those bite size review paragraph are great

Or when he just does a one sentence insult and calls it a day.

doesn't he look like a retard in that cover art lol how cna anyone take it seriously

Jesus Christ, what an insufferable hack.
