*glass breaks*

Lullaby totally fit the aesthetic of that record, it's pretty dark.

prayers for rain best song

Aesthetic, perhaps. The sound is in step with the others. The general theme of the album is that of trying (and failing) to keep a fading relationship together, with the back half of the album almost playing out like a straightforward narrative. in the middle of all these lovesick tunes though is a soft horror tale of a spiderman haunting someone's dreams. That might have some relevance on a symbolic level or something but at face value it's a bit off from every other song on the album thematically. Still a nice little bit of spooky, psychedelic pop but if you put a gun to my head and told me to cut one song from Disintegration or die, Lullaby's taking the hit.

Pick one

>upbeat cure
>goth cure

Goth, all day every day. Disintegration, Pornography, Faith and Bloodflowers are their great albums.

they are.
but I surely can't decide which "phase" I like more

WAITING FOR THE DEATH BLOW

WAITING FOR THE DEATH BLOW

...

Goth hands down, but their pop tunes are god-tier and you can't deny it.

The Walk, The Dream, Lovecats, Why Can't I Be You?! GOAT!

>It doesn't matter if we all die

great line to start an album

I do think The Top/Japanese Whispers is their most intriguing point. Not necessarily the best but the one to look at and think "huh, that's neat". That material sounds very much like the awkward but underacknowledged transition from goth to pop that it realistically is. It makes it make sense that the same band that gave us Pornography also gave us Head on the Door.
