I chose an eternity of this Like falling angels The world disappeared Laughing into the fire Is it always like this? Flesh and blood and the first kiss The first colors, the first kiss

Possibly (well in my opinion) their best album. They performed ‘A Strange Day’ and ‘Cold’ from the album when we saw them last December (could have done the lot for me) which was brilliant. I think that the opening drums on the album set the tone and are rooted deep within my brain. Cheers!

I used to think it was perhaps their best album, but I’ve allowed that Faith has its own purity that is unmatched by most of their albums and I tend to think of The Top as being their best album no one but myself seems to admire (it’s not quite as good as the other two, but it has *something* that is missing from everything after Head on the Door).
I used to be able to recite all of the lyrics in order from Pornography from beginning to end without the aid of music. It is the album that probably shaped me most in my teen years.

I would agree regarding your ‘shaping’ comment. Faith is certainly comparable but with a different mood, and I love Seventeen Seconds for its sparsity. Head on the Door too. I always like how each album is uniquely The Cure, yet with a different feel.

Exactly. You know you are listening to the Cure, even before Robert sings, but it might be like nothing else they’ve done before. Kind of the same with Tones on Tails, except it was song-to-song for them.

Blast from the past. Never really got into them. Same with Pete Murphy. I found some of his solo work a bit hit and miss although I do really like Dust when his middle eastern/ Arabic influences took hold.

I liked some earlier Peter Murphy but, as you said, it’s uneven. I might have to give Dust another chance, it’s been a spell and my tastes have evolved.
