      I also agree with this whole list with the exception of Bloodflowers being ranked higher than Wish. For me personally I sometimes I rank wish higher than disintegration but that’s only because some of those wish songs have meant so much to me. Bloodflowers has some great songs but I feel Wish beats it.

  • @Thomas_of_the_forest

    Faith is my personal favourite. I think part of that is it wasthe album that finally made me go,
    Yes. This is 100% my favourite band right now. But there is such a damn excellent gloomy sound to that and how all the tracks go from one to the next is so perfect.
    I Understand Disintegration being at top for most, and it's a close first for me. But Faith really does just hit differently for me.
    The Top is very underrated. Yes it's weird af at times, but I vibe with that. Shake dog Shake and the TItle track are such excellent opening and closing tracks to it particularly.
    The Head on the Door is one I've actually come to not like so much over time. Despite some excellent tracks on it, there are some that just annoy me to the point of wanting to skip like Six Different Ways
    Also , Concert is definitely not out of Print. Very easy to find from what I've seen

    Excellent video, well researched and presented. Good takes. I remember I couldn't stand Bloodflowers back in 2000. Like Wild Mood Swings (which I liked) for you, I listened to Bloodflowers exactly once. However, I'm going to revisit to see if my opinion from 24 years ago still holds. I think the new album is amazing. Ordering on CD at your recommendation just to get the full sonic experience.

    Aside from swapping out Bloodflowers with Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me and moving Wild Mood Swings up into the Good category, your list is pretty spot on. The first track off Wild Mood Swings - Want - is in my top ten Cure songs and is as good an album opener as they've made.

    Your picks for "Classic" would be mine as well. My entrance was an EP that was released in the GDR and that contained 4 tracks from The Head On The Door. My real entrance later was Kiss Me. And my first CD that I bought after the reunion of Germany was Disintegration.
    For me, the Trilogy alongside with Head and Songs Of The Lost World are the picks from my end.

    Two places I would definitely disagree on. I think The Top is a fantastic album, Shake dog Shake alone would put this into the Great category. I would also put Concert in a higher category, simply because the track listing is a perfect best of playlist for this point in their career. It was a big catalyst for taking me from a casual Cure fan to a hardcore Cure fan. Great video, thanks for posting.

  • @slydale
    @slydale 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    This is truly a cure fan's extensive, thought-provoking work. Im at a lost why you didnt include the In Orange concert footage? For me, I enjoyed this footage so much at the time I converted it to cassette tspe and brought it everywhere back in the day. Its to me quintessential. Classic Cure. It should had at least honorable mention. Ive never considered my Cure collection complete without it. When doing my Spotify, Ill recreate a listing using that concert's setlist. It always satisfies, blends well into other setlists I created, plus other preferred live performances. Further, like any other fan, we all have our preferences. I for one think Kiss Me³ while consisting of some best Cure material ever, sure, can drop a tier. Lost World, too. I've enjoyed listening to it past week, and maybe I'll change it back to your listed position here later. And I'd place Wish among the classics, but that's probably only bcz I waited for it, attended its tour, held it amongst favored memories with friends at that time. Good job with this listing, I've enjoyed this immensely.
    Caveat-my favored songs on the Lost World release this week are Endgame, and Drone. I think Drone should had been the album's opener, just saying.

The standout studio album at the time was Head On the Door but The Walk EP and Concert because of their general obscurity and insight to the band. Just One Kiss is epic off The Walk.

    I respect anyone's opinion on where albums rank. I'm happy to see so much love for The Top in some of these comments. It's an odd album and all over the place. Which is why I like it. I can say--as someone who's been a Cure fan for about 40 years (though I skipped the albums from '96 to '08 while still listening to the previous ones and only later listened to them)--that this album hits me much like their music did when I was a teen. Some find that too nostalgic, I guess. Thing is, this album doesn't sound like their '80s work, really. It just hits the same nerves.

    I don't know why The Top always features so low on people's lists. It's a great transitional record between the darkness of Pornography and the lighter Head On The Door. It also provides the template for Cure albums that represent the different moods of their music, from the delirious psychedelic pop of The Caterpillar to the dark, paranoid title track. It is probably the nearest you would get to a Robert Smith solo album as he does most of the writing and playing on this one apart from Lol on keyboards and Andy Anderson on drums. Quite remarkable, considering that he was also still the guitarist in the Banshees at the time of recording, the influence of this on the Cure can definitely be felt here. It's maybe not quite a classic but The Top is a great Cure album and deserves more credit than it sometimes gets. However, for me Wish and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss me are classic Cure albums and both superior to Bloodflowers.

    I agree with you very much with your placements. Pornography has been my favorite since it came out. Faith is also a favorite. I get why you have The Top where it is,as so many do, but I love that quirky work. Kiss Me is fantastic, I think. I love Disintegration and understand why so many have in on top. It has variety and is well produced and, most importantly, great song writing. It's arguably their best, certainly. But Pornography tops it, slightly, for me because of its singular cohesiveness. It's fuckin' dark. It's what I want from The Cure. I respect that Smith and the band looked to move in another direction--artists should (perhaps) not destroy themselves following a destructive path for the sake of creating. Part of me would have, selfishly, liked to have seen the next rung down on that ladder but it wouldn't have been good for them. They've gone on to do so much more and, reflecting, it was obviously a good choice to lighten it up. I admit, I kind of stopped listening to The Cure after Disintegration. I was looking for heavier music and didn't give much of their music too much attention after that. I gave Blood Flowers repeated, fair listen only about 3 years ago. It was as if I had unearthed a new Cure album. Made me VERY happy to feel so sad. "Watching Me Fall" deserves more discussion than it gets, I feel. It's a little long and the dramatic "... watching me faaaaaaaaaaalllll" was a little much. But had they shortened it by maybe 2-3 minutes and relied less on that refrain it would be one of my favorites, maybe. This new album, I fookin' love. The first time I heard "Alone" I thought it merely good but got goosebumps from the experience, nonetheless. Like finding a family member I thought dead. Most of my favorite albums, in general, are ones that were a bit more difficult to really grasp. The whole album has grown on me and has been pretty much every other (avoiding burnout?) album listen since I received it. We'll see how it digests over time but it'll stay up there for me. It's appropriate for where I am in life and makes for a cathartic experience. I'm happy to see that you have enjoyed it so much, as well, and have given it a good spot. A point: no need to revoke anyone's "goth card" for not knowing song names. First, I'm horrible with song names. I'm almost more likely to tell you about how long a track is. Horrible with peoples' names, too. Second, goth is an f'n fashion. Smith, himself, doesn't like the association. All you need to be "goth" is your mum's credit card and a Hot Topic. Lastly, give this album a listen with a good system ON VINYL. The warmth is amazing. Apologies for the long comment but enjoyed your video and felt like it lent itself to a conversational response. Take care and thanks.

Wild Mood Swings is so annoying it almost makes me angry. I have donated all 3 of those CDs to my local goodwill since I have no desire to ever listen to them again.

    Just my humble opinion. Classic: 17 seconds (it is one of their best albums ever, so unique), faith, pornography, disintegration. Wish could have been a Classic by replacing some of the b-sides with the mediocre tracks of Wish. I'd see three imaginary boys as great because of the title song.

    I would place only Head On The Door and Disintegration in the Classic Tier for studio albums. Songs of a Lost World has no creative spark. I like Alone, but the heavy theme of the album, its repetitive song structures (do you really need a long intro almost every time? It's unnecessary), there are no risks musically, no shifts in tempo. I'm surprised there hasn't been a dark wave of suicide within the goth culture. With Trump's return to power, I wouldn't fault them. But this is a dirge. Not what I expected after 16 years. Yes, the mood is consistent. A great album if your idea of enjoyment is attending funerals and sitting bedside to a terminally ill Hospice patient in a coma.
    I would place it in the Good category mainly because I cannot fathom under what conditions in my life I would want to listen to this. I've seen death, I've experienced almost unbearable loss, I've indulged depression and sadness. Life is too short.

    1) pornography
    2) faith
    3) 17 seconds
    4) disintegration
    5) wish
    6) head on the door
    7) bloodflowers
    8) kiss me kiss me
    9) 3 imaginary boys
    10) songs of a lost world...

    Totally agree re Bloodflowers. Easily their best since Disintegration and far, far superior to the new album.

      Bloodflowers doesn't beat you over the head with how good it is. It just is.

      It was either that or "Clean Up in Aisle 6". I stand by my choice.

    can't understand the love for the new album --- its so lyrically weak...i'm lost, alone, its dark, its cold, its the end, lament... we've heard it all before and done much better... its not terrible, it just par for the course like many 80s bands recent releases.. its an average ok ish Lp but not a patch on 17 seconds, faith, pornograpy and disintegration.. i think that in time people will come to their senses and re evaluate songs of a lost world... i do understand the desperation for something new to like... its not terrible, its just very formulaic..... almost like it was made by a tribute band...

      Honestly, John, it might have something to do with the eternal absence of a GOOD Cure album that makes me feel that this is a GREAT Cure album. Whatever it is, I love the new album.

    Unpopular opinion I think Kiss me kiss me kiss me is bloated and needs less tracks. Not essential for me, maybe great, definitely good.

      Kinda my take, too, in a way. Could have one really amazing single album with the right track selection.

    It might be perceived as blasphemous, but I would move The Top to "good", and the last LP to "ok" ... I found this very boring, uninspired, almost a caricature. I would have loved to see Faith and Wish as classics but this can't be said because of weak tracks like like Wendy Time, Doubt, Cut ...

    I disagree with Head on the Door as classic, the album is just too poppy for me.

    • @NOTIMETOROCK
      @NOTIMETOROCK  11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think that since I started from a pretty balanced starting point, I'm pretty cool with The Cure's brand of 'pop'.

      Broad generalization answer: Young Person (gender not relevant), dresses primarily and almost entirely in black, often wears dark make up, known to possess 'doom and gloom' attitude about everything including existence itself, sometimes consider themselves vampires or different otherworldly being..... I'll let you take it from here ...
