'Disintegration' is one of the greatest albums ever, irrespective of genres. 'The Cure' has some magnificent songs like 'Fascination Street', 'Disintegration', 'Lullaby', 'Lovecats' etc.
The extended version of this song is absolutely phenomenal. I never get tired of the guitar tone on songs like this, "Just Like Heaven" and "In Between Days".
Robert Smith sounds as good at 60 as he did in 1980! He is amazing talent!!! Songwriting, guitarist! I love the Cure! He and his wife have been marry for 35 years. Some said he was goth. But he said no. He wears black,lipstick,eyeliner,still does.
These labels are worthless, really. What’s New Wave anyway? I remember Bowie asking Lennon what he thought of Glam. Lennon said it was rock music with lipstick. That’s the Cure.
Got to see them live on tour last year. Show was magical. The first encore onward was nothing but hits. The crowd was even feeling the new songs from the upcoming album, holding up their phones without prompting. Robert seemed touched.
Disintegration was their best album (and one of the best songs) - even South park says so. For me its Fascination street (on Disintegration also). Its all about the bass lines...
All the alternative kids AND the preppy kids loved them in high school. Goth music that is happy go lucky. Brilliant. He still sings great live although he looks like your Aunt Edna now.
The cure are amazing. Their songs come from the heart. Burn from the crow soundtrack is my favourite I think but it’s close with pretty much every other song they released
This song was written after a fire happened at Robert Smiths house that almost burned everything! Robert took the only thing he knew he'd miss if it was gone, a photo album. He wrote the song only for him and his girlfriend (now wife) but she thought it was so good she wanted him to put it on an album!
Old punk and metal guy, but The Cure are in my top five bands ever. You may like “Burn” from the movie “The Crow” (original, not the remake) good reaction
I was always told that “prevention is better than the cure” but cannot find any songs by Prevention anywhere. Must’ve been an obscure one hit wonder.🤷🏼♂️
Lol 🤪..But on a serious note..Robert Smith is a fan of/collabed with the group he feels is even better,, The Twilight Sad",, with plenty of songs for you to check out.
Post punk is my fave genre. I love tge million pieces rock broke into after Johnny Rotten screamed ANARCHY. Cure were on the London scene, and Robert Smith played with Siouxsie as the Banshees were being born. Disintegration, released in 89, was the mainstream breakthrough for them. Several songs got onto 120 minutes on MTV, radios picked them up. Then their next album made them household names with Friday I'm in Love.
One of my favourite bands. They've done so, so so many great songs with a lot of variety but his voice is always so recognisable. I think Catch might be my favourite, but it'll likely be different tomorrow 😂
My favourite period of The Cure is the mid-80s, when they released a series of great pop singles, all of which charted well in the UK. Rappers React should check out "The Love Cats", which is a happy, weird jazz/pop song and a big hit on this side of the pond.
The Cure are GOTH. Pure Goth. They and Siouxsie and the Banshees essentially created the genre. So not post punk, not New Wave not "Alternative", THEY ARE GOTH. Indeed Robert Smith and Siouxsie Sioux are known as the King and Queen of the Goths.
Archaeologists now believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza (at least) was built by tens of thousands of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of tax payment (levy) until the construction was completed, pointing to workers' cemeteries discovered in 1990. Wikipedia
Also Deftones have done a cover of If Only Tonight We Can Sleep by The Cure. It's an amazing cover and you should check out the live version from MTVs Icon.
I discovered their Disintegration album after watching a scene in the Ant-Man movie where him and Yellowjacket were fighting in a suitcase. But i listened to the title track instead of the song that was playing in the movie 'Plainsong'. Nirvana biographer Michael Azzerad said the sound of Disintegration was 'the culmination of the musical directions the band were pursuing over the course of the 80s', combining the gothic rock of the gothic trilogy of their 2nd to 4th albums from '80 to '82, and the new wave pop of Japanese Whispers, The Head on the Door and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.
The cure is such a great band. My older sister was the one that told me about this band way back in the day.😊🎉 I guess I have my whole family to thank for all the music I like these days.😊😊😊
I saw them in concert in the early 90’s, the most boring concert I have ever been to, I was highly disappointed but came home with an amazing contact buzz!😂
The Cure was never a band I was a big fan of but, I certainly know some of their music. Hearing it just seems to take me back and I'm sorta reminded of my life during that time when their music was popular
i also have a love/hate relationship with this band. there's a handful of songs of theirs that i like, a couple that i love, and one that makes me foam at the mouth with rage ("lovecats").
The cure are multiversatile genre but they shine in more dark tone with post punk/goth rock , but they can do everything pop, Jazz, funk, electropop.....and there is not EMO in 80's and 90's.....
Robert Smith is a crazy good guitar player, they can play the songs twice as fast live and it still sounds great. Three Imaginary Boys is a great album
I love you guys. Clearly the song brought back memories and you connected with the lyrics. This is what art is all about right ? Engaging with what you see or hear. Great band The Cure, the do indeed have a few different spins of genre, but always had that Goth style about them.

mthrfkkr are you wearing a WHALERS hat?? i was born in Binghamton, NY. i think when i was born the Dusters [?] were playing in the Arena but soon after it was the Whalers. :)
The Cure are a post-punk band that insists on evolving on each record. Sometimes they're goth. Sometimes they're punk. Sometimes pop. Please react to "A Forest".
Art rock new wave punk they been around since 1979 with song the forest and he played and wrote for many different groups and there rock and roll hull of fame in Ohio
@justindoplayer1516 I guess. I mean more like an attempt at goth that came out looking like a man/Frankenstein/fat little girl. Halloween costume. I was 11!!!!
I think the song is about someone he loved but they are no longer in his life. Sounds like he is maybe mourning a loss 🤷♀️ My dream car is a 1967 red Mustang convertible 😊
Digging your reaction vids, and know it's off-topic from the Cure, but would really like to see your guys' reaction to Mother's Finest a funk/rock band formed in Atlanta Ga in the early 70s specifically thier 1979 Mother's Finest Live album with a funk Somebody to Love cover and Fire. Mickey's Monkey, Magic Carpet Ride, etc. Pretty sure you will groove with it once you hear it. Regardless keep them vids coming ...
This song has a sinister subtext: the lyrical self is a perverse egoist. Your sadness is the fact that your ex-girlfriend has come out of depression and consequently out of a toxic relationship.
Hell no the Cure is not Emo. That's such blasphemy. They are Post-Punk/Goth 100% through and through. Even their more "pop-ish" sounding music is Post-Punk/Goth. Disintegration is one of the greatest albums ever made. A Forest is a masterpiece of a song. Robert Smith has one of the most amazing voices of the past century. And the Cure has inspired almost every current best selling band since the 80s.
unbelievable song writers and musicians...people will get caught up in the subgenre, but they are new wave for sure... goth, post-punk all that stuff...but New Wave
'Disintegration' is one of the greatest albums ever, irrespective of genres. 'The Cure' has some magnificent songs like 'Fascination Street', 'Disintegration', 'Lullaby', 'Lovecats' etc.
I was hooked by Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.
Came here to recommend Fascination Street next. Also, The Forest and Hot, Hot, Hot.
Disintegration is the best album ever! - Southpark ! they made Smith into a superhero in an episode
Kyle spoke the truth! ^_^
This is from their 1989 album Disintegration. It’s their best album, IMO. The entire album is incredible.
The extended version of this song is absolutely phenomenal. I never get tired of the guitar tone on songs like this, "Just Like Heaven" and "In Between Days".
I was going to say the same. The intro is amazing on the studio version. They cut it down.
Started out in the late 70s believe it or not. Couple of early songs, "Killing an Arab", "Boys Don't Cry", and about 20 more albums!
The Cure is Post-Punk / Gothic Rock band
Robert Smith said they weren't Goth and that real Goth bands got pissed when people said The Cure were Goth.
@@allengator1914 Robert Smith did that to piss off the Smiths fans that would say the same about the Smiths.
Glam, New Wave, Gothic, whatever label you want to give it. It’s all rock music.
@@allengator1914he can say that but every goth looks like him😂
A MUST SEE/HEAR track,, The Cure "Lullaby" (Official Music Video A MUST!!) 🔥
That is my favourite The Cure track ❤
"Disintegration is the best album ever!"
Stan Marsh
The Cure are an amazing unique band over such a long period.
Robert Smith sounds as good at 60 as he did in 1980! He is amazing talent!!! Songwriting, guitarist! I love the Cure! He and his wife have been marry for 35 years. Some said he was goth. But he said no. He wears black,lipstick,eyeliner,still does.
The Cure have an amazing catalogue. "The Forest", "One Hundred Years" and "Push" are absolute bangers!
Emo was not a thing in the 80's. The Cure were *New Wave*
These labels are worthless, really. What’s New Wave anyway? I remember Bowie asking Lennon what he thought of Glam. Lennon said it was rock music with lipstick. That’s the Cure.
@@DJ-bj8ku It's not worth my time to explain it to you
Robert Smith, David Bowie, and Billy Idol all wore makeup. Just saying 😉
I love The Cure
The album version is better as it is longer.
Lol, we know nemeth😅
The cure is always good
Got to see them live on tour last year. Show was magical. The first encore onward was nothing but hits.
The crowd was even feeling the new songs from the upcoming album, holding up their phones without prompting. Robert seemed touched.
Disintegration was their best album (and one of the best songs) - even South park says so.
For me its Fascination street (on Disintegration also). Its all about the bass lines...
Fascination St is my fave also
I agree with everything said. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me was great and then Disintegration was even better.
Agree on “Fascination Street”. It was one of my go-to songs for getting dressed for clubbing in the early ‘90’s.
All the alternative kids AND the preppy kids loved them in high school. Goth music that is happy go lucky. Brilliant. He still sings great live although he looks like your Aunt Edna now.
amazing song, amazing album, amazing band!
The cure are amazing. Their songs come from the heart. Burn from the crow soundtrack is my favourite I think but it’s close with pretty much every other song they released
Yes,BURN from the Crow soundtrack is awesome!!! 🎶🔥✌
Yes, I love that too!
That song is fire 🔥
The cure, no genre, just LEGENDS!
This song was written after a fire happened at Robert Smiths house that almost burned everything! Robert took the only thing he knew he'd miss if it was gone, a photo album. He wrote the song only for him and his girlfriend (now wife) but she thought it was so good she wanted him to put it on an album!
The cure had such a unique and instantly recognisable sound. Years ahead of their time.
Arguably, the most successful "New Wave" band...at least, that's what we used to call em back in the 80's.
should have dome the extended version. Killer intro.
YES !!!! It's almost like foreplay !!! Most reactions don't though...
Old punk and metal guy, but The Cure are in my top five bands ever. You may like “Burn” from the movie “The Crow” (original, not the remake) good reaction
The Cure has a plethora of hits that are worthy of a deep dive. Friday I'm In Love is probably their biggest hit.
I was always told that “prevention is better than the cure” but cannot find any songs by Prevention anywhere. Must’ve been an obscure one hit wonder.🤷🏼♂️
Lol 🤪..But on a serious note..Robert Smith is a fan of/collabed with the group he feels is even better,, The Twilight Sad",, with plenty of songs for you to check out.
I see what you did there. :-)
Beautifully sad song

The band formed in the late 70's..still performing..just saw them last summer at M.S.G...still my favorite band!
One of my favourite bands. They've done so, so so many great songs with a lot of variety but his voice is always so recognisable. I think Catch might be my favourite, but it'll likely be different tomorrow 😂

These guys were my favorite 80's KROQ band
Disintegration is the best album the cure has ever done. And pictures of you is the best song. It’s a piece of poetic gold,
They were the best live performance I've seen in concert.
The Cure are GOTH. Pure Goth. They and Siouxsie and the Banshees essentially created the genre. So not post punk, not New Wave not "Alternative", THEY ARE GOTH. Indeed Robert Smith and Siouxsie Sioux are known as the King and Queen of the Goths.

You should try A Forest from 1980 It's a Banger
Awesome band! And it's Robert Smith's (lead singer) bday today! 🎂Happy Birthday❤❤❤
The cure is such a great band. My older sister was the one that told me about this band way back in the day.😊🎉

“Fascination Street” would probably be your favorite Cure song. The groove will blow you away.
I'm pretty sure the song Smokey was talking about was "Kyoto Song" by the Cure
Nah, probably close to me.
Cure was the coolest band ever.
311 did a cover of Love Song by The Cure.
I keep associating The Cure's music with high school prom, in my mind.
Almost every band did a ballad at some point, this is theirs. The Cure has some bangers worth checking out.
The cure are multiversatile genre but they shine in more dark tone with post punk/goth rock , but they can do everything pop, Jazz, funk, electropop.....and there is not EMO in 80's and 90's.....
Never been a big fan of The Cure but Burn from The Crow soundtrack was always a good one!
Robert Smith is a crazy good guitar player, they can play the songs twice as fast live and it still sounds great. Three Imaginary Boys is a great album
The Cure ranges from New Wave to Dream Pop to Goth Rock
The Cure🥰😍 is magical ❤
Bro is repping the Whalers! Hard
I remember seeing the album cover of Three Imaginary Boys when it came out and I bought the LP because of that. Robert Smith is a genius.
I love you guys. Clearly the song brought back memories and you connected with the lyrics. This is what art is all about right ? Engaging with what you see or hear. Great band The Cure, the do indeed have a few different spins of genre, but always had that Goth style about them.
Andorra, is a sovereign landlocked country on the Iberian Peninsula, in the eastern Pyrenees, bordered by France to the north and Spain to the south.
Old school goth rock
The funny thing is the band didn't consider themselves goth. The community just adopted them and their music, the rest is history.🙂
@@Nightdominiamainly because they recorded three of the best proto-goth albums ever made. What we think of goth was heavily influenced by the cure.

This is a great song objectively, and Robert Smith is a very underrated guitarist and songwriter
We really have dominated the music scene in history 🇬🇧
I love that Robert still wears the makeup because his wife likes it
One of the great bands of all time
My dream car is a 88 or 89 formula firebird. Anyone who knows me knows I love 80s and early 90s vehicles.
In Between Days is one of their best songs.
Alternative indie pop in my mind. Good stuff. btw - This was the short version. You started after the long instrumental opening.
I think you guys will like “Burn”….they wrote it for the original “The Crow” soundtrack, so it’s a little darker and more goth rock. Amazing song.
mthrfkkr are you wearing a WHALERS hat?? i was born in Binghamton, NY. i think when i was born the Dusters [?] were playing in the Arena but soon after it was the Whalers. :)
The extended version has an amazingly long suspenseful intro.
A Forest, The Hanging Garden, The Lovecats or Charlotte Sometimes. Can’t go wrong with any of these Cure songs.
amazing
The Cure
The Cure are a post-punk band that insists on evolving on each record. Sometimes they're goth. Sometimes they're punk. Sometimes pop. Please react to "A Forest".
Morning guys!! Such a good song! One song I really liked by them. I think there's only 1 other lol. 🤓❤️
The MIXED UP cd has amazing long mixed versions of their best songs.
He did a song in the movie The Crow, look it up!
Would like to see "disintegration" by the cure on this channel. Robert Smith goes all out in it Reminds me of MJK from Tool.
Art rock new wave punk they been around since 1979 with song the forest and he played and wrote for many different groups and there rock and roll hull of fame in Ohio
The Cure started in the late 70s and they did a few different genre's including Goth's being very into them
I never thought you guys will react to the cure. Btw, the cure is not emo
Emo...lol...I mean it was emo long before emo. Gothy Emoish...I used to look life Robert Smith and it was so bad...I was trying to look
@@bonniebennett6866 So..... Gothic
@justindoplayer1516 I mean actually like him.. white face red lips black eyes black hair... not cute, not goth, it was frightening
@@bonniebennett6866 oh, you mean it's pioneering emo look
@justindoplayer1516 I guess. I mean more like an attempt at goth that came out looking like a man/Frankenstein/fat little girl. Halloween costume. I was 11!!!!
I think the song is about someone he loved but they are no longer in his life. Sounds like he is maybe mourning a loss 🤷♀️
My dream car is a 1967 red Mustang convertible 😊
Epic song
67 mustang fastback light car light motor absolute perfection. Though a good choice Smokey is the opposite heavy car heavy motor 😆
Thus is way before Emo was a thing! 🤣🤣🤣
Dinosaur Jr do a brilliant cover version of ‘Just Like Heaven’
I love your whalers hat!
I still call the cure goth like joy division or Bauhaus sisters of mercy they were all piooners of gotv music
cool fact! Robert smith the singer.... Johnny Depp based Edward Scissorhands on him!
Love song
Depeche mode and the smiths were another couple groups that were also like this. Well, kinda!
Digging your reaction vids, and know it's off-topic from the Cure, but would really like to see your guys' reaction to Mother's Finest a funk/rock band formed in Atlanta Ga in the early 70s specifically thier 1979 Mother's Finest Live album with a funk Somebody to Love cover and Fire.

The cure was Goth back in that day.
I wasnt Goth but this is one of my favs by them although i wasnt into the Cure like that
They invented Goth
Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Bauhaus too.
My blue Mustang was my dream car. I miss it so much but had to get rid of it. Not a good car for driving in the snow 😕
Hell no the Cure is not Emo. That's such blasphemy. They are Post-Punk/Goth 100% through and through. Even their more "pop-ish" sounding music is Post-Punk/Goth.

t disagree they were all that but they were also early emo
same deep water as you also from disintergration is great to react to the darkest song from disintergration
unbelievable song writers and musicians...people will get caught up in the subgenre, but they are new wave for sure... goth, post-punk all that stuff...but New Wave
