Which Cure album is the best?

disintegration

this, it's a cliche for a reason

Pornography

Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me

their singles compilation, unironically

the one where he gets a haircut

Seventeen Seconds
Faith
*Japanese Whispers*
Head on the Door
Pornography
Three Imaginary Boys aka Boy's Don't Cry
The Top
Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
Disintegration
Wish
everything else

in the flat field

Disentegration is undeniably the magnum opus
I’m a big fan of Faith and Seventeen Seconds also
But they also have a metric shitload of non-album tracks that are basically all worth listening to

1. Disintegration
2. Pornography
3. Faith
4. Bloodflowers
5. Wish
6. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
7. Seventeen Seconds
8. The Cure
9. Wild Mood Swings
10. The Top
11. 4:13 Dream
12. Three Imaginary Boys
13. The Head On The Door

Bottom one might be controversial but it's definitely the one I find myself the least enthusiastic to revisit. Never was terribly crazy about it.

Just got into disintegration, where to next?

What were your favorite songs from it? Disintegration is kind of a cumulative effort, it's a bit of everything the band had ever been up to that point in their career.

jesus fuck your list makes no sense

Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Pornography
then
Wish and Head On the Door

Mixed Up is underrated

Pretty much the stretch in the middle plus the title track.

I'd like to think at least the top 4 do. Still,

>Seventeen Seconds would be higher but I think it's a bit skeletal overall for its high points to completely carry over more full-bodied efforts like Wish and KMKMKM
>I think the S/T is quite underrated and a perfectly decent record from top to bottom
>WMS has some atrocious songs but also some very good ones like Want, This Is A Lie, and Numb
>The Top is a mess but it's an utterly fascinating one and the band's purest descent into psychedelia. Points for uniqueness but still a lesser record
>4:13 Dream is WAY too naive for a band as experienced as The Cure were at this point but it's also probably their most youthful sounding, oddly enough. Even if I don't think it fully panned out I sorta get the dreamlike vibe they were going for but by and large it's just a worse WMS
>I don't think even Smith liked how TIB turned out, there's some good stuff but the tracklist is really inconsistent. BDC is probably better but I've yet to listen to it
>I'm just not into HOTD. Inbetween Days is brilliant and Sinking's pretty good but I'm simply ambivalent about the rest of it. Pop music that's in one ear and out the other.

Hmm, probably Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me then if you like a set that diverse, though if you're feeling the title track then definitely give Pornography a look.

1. Disintegration
2. Faith
3. Wish
4. Bloodflowers
5. Pornography
6. Seventeen Seconds
7. The Head on the Door
8. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
9. 4:13 Dream
10. Wild Mood Swings
11. Three Imaginary Boys
12. The Cure
13. The Top
imo

I only like pornography and S/T. They have the most gothic sound to them. I havent bothered listening to the rest of them.

Listen to Seventeen Seconds and Faith. Your next best bet from there would be Disintegration, then Bloodflowers at a stretch. At the very least those latter two might have some songs you'd like. Beyond that, they're a bit of a hard sell if you're in it for the gothic vibe.

Nice one Granddad
