Disintegration

I do like Disintegration but I prefer the older more goth stuff like Seventeen Seconds and Faith

None. Listen to The Smiths instead

Disintegration is best because it's both sides of the Cure put into one album.

maybe not their best, but three imaginary boys (plus the other songs of that era) has been growing a lot on me lately

I take it you're around 15?

Best song is Fascination Street.

liberal arts major

Disintegration is like half crap. Closedown - obviously unfinished. Untitled - not even worth a title apparently. Pictures of You is about 4 minutes too long. Fascination Street is fucking transcendent neon 80s glitz though.

Overall Pornography and Faith are a lot better.

I agree that Head On The Door isn't that good overall but Close To Me is sick

Closedown isn't unfinished, it has the same song flow as All Cats Are Grey - extended intro, brief verse, extended outro. Untitled wraps up the narrative of the record and its closing words are absolutely pitch perfect. And while Pictures of You might drag a bit languidly that's kind of the album's MO in general, the same could be said for any other song that isn't the other singles.

Pornography
100 Years is one of the darkest songs I've ever heard, so that one imo. Or Siamese Twins

Yeah, the non-album versions are. The album version is dry as fuck, kind of like Bjork's All Is Full Of Love. Live/video performances are almost invariably superior.

What the fuck is with people on this board ranking The Head on the Door as the worst Cure album? Worse than The Top? 4:13 Dream? Wild Mood Swings? Three Imaginary Boys?

Get the fuck out of here

that opening song. those PRIMAL drums on "cold".

I like all their albums generally but I'm prettu indifferent to HOTD aside from its bookending tracks. The Top is such an odd duck that it fascinates me, 4:13 Dream is fluff as fuck but its atmosphere put its just above HOTD for me, WMS is merely uneven as it actually has some very good songs, and TIB is definitely amateurish but some of it is charming. HOTD, though? I can sincerely take or leave 8 of the 10 songs, I might feel A Night Like This on a good day.

I really like the single version of Close to Me.

I don't think Burn should be out of the running either even thought it was for a soundtrack. That song fucking rules. Maybe not the best but it fucking rules.
