I FUCKING DESPAIR...The Cure 2011

[Pixiessp]

Bloodflowers is my least favorite of the trilogy. Pornography and Disintegration are stellar.

[sbessiso]

I got Disintegration on vinyl tonight and gave it a spin. What a spectacular album.

should I assume the deluxe reissue? Friend back home is obsessed too had that pre-ordered so many months in advance. Its fucking awesome, i kind of want to get all the re-issues. and it kills me that i dont have "Join The Dots", i hold it every time I go to Amoeba but can never afford it.

[Pixiessp]

Anything on Pornography, Seventeen Seconds,Faith and Disintegration is gold. The rest is just ok.

BlueBlazer. I see you with brand new eyes.

[Pixiessp]

the past two years i've listened to 17 Seconds the most of any album by far...

i actually want to create a band just to do that album front to back

I'll play bass. I know all the songs.

[getbetter]

What no The Head on the Door love?????

[chiapet]

Hey, I gave it love a page or two back :P

I was really happy that the tour(s) I caught around the 2007/2008 time frame were heavily focused on that album. Sooo good live.

[sbessiso]

What no The Head on the Door love?????

The first cure album i ever loved. holds a special place in my heart.

(cant find the album version on YT)


i believe this was the song that got the most tears


i cant even fully describe to you what that set was to me. so powerful

BlueBlazer. I see you with brand new eyes.

oh im president of the elblueblazer fan club.

[Pixiessp]

I honestly do not know why it has taken me till today to post in this thread. Before the Pixies it was the Cure that resided in this black heart.

I got the chance to meet Robert and Simon at Disneyland the day before their remarkable show at Dodger Stadium in 89. I was so infatuated with Simon that i could barely speak. He is not very tall. I thought it was funny that he had to stand in line, like everyone else, for the Peter Pan ride but Robert could just walk up and get right on.

Pornography is my favorite Cure album followed by:
Faith
Seventeen Seconds
Disintegration
The Head on the Door
Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss me
The Top

The Cure in Orange is my ultimate favorite of all their DVD's. Actually, I have it on VHS.

The record reissue doesn't have all the extra singles and live tracks and whatnot, but it's the remastered version, so kind of halfway right.

I got Join the Dots back when it came out for xmas that year. The first and second discs are spectacular, and the other two arent' bad, but I got tired of remixes after awhile.

[bballarl]

I keep meaning to buy Join the Dots used from Amoeba, but I always leave it for next time. One of these days. "To The Sky" is an amazing tune.

[chiapet]

I have join the dots, but as it turned out, a lot of it was stuff I already had (via singles & boots). Worth buying if you can find it used though.

I literally hold it in my hand every time im there. and its right by the register too.

[Mr.Trent]

I always plan on getting that red vinyl version of pornography but never really can find it at a decent price, last time I checked ebay and discogs had it but at quite high prices

[bmack86]

How high? I'm seeing it new for 27-8, which is steep but maybe not as steep as what you've been seeing.

[sbessiso]

One of the better songs on the last album, buried near the end



wonderful dancing at 1:03

[chairmenmeow47]

i am also not that familiar with bloodflowers. i know maybe someday, but only because some friend of mein posted a picture of me on his live journal with that song lol.

and as far as album closers, 3 imaginary boys is awesome. it sucks though because all my cure CDs were burned for me by an ex-boyfriend. and the last song on pretty much every CD is all scratchy for some strange reason i really need to just buy the albums.

[bug on your lip]

that boyfriend didn't know how to close the deal..

[Mr.Trent]

about $40, there's one on ebay for 38 and some others on discogs for 42... I'll wait though. I should have bought it at coachella in 09.

[Mr.Trent]

and this my friends, is 100% pure distilled gold

[sbessiso]

holy shit. what an intense performance. I highly recommend watching this

Is this the press your talking about?

[Mr.Trent]

Is this the press your talking about?

score! I didn't know about that site

holy shit. what an intense performance. I highly recommend watching this

oh leather Robert era is just otherworldly

[CellarOwl]

I really wish they would ditch the fucking backing tracks they're using at shows over the last few years. That shit is distracting and really tacky. Kinda brings everything else down a notch.

[sacleonard]

Well if we're going to do this, then why stop at 5? For their full length releases:

1. One Hundred Years - Pornography
2. In Between Days - The Head on the Door
3. Shake Dog Shake - The Top
4. Plainsong - Disintegration
5. The Kiss - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
6. Want - Wild Mood Swings
7. 10:15 Saturday Night - Three Imaginary Boys
8. Open - Wish
9. The Holy Hour - Faith
10. Out of This World - Bloodflowers
11. A Reflection - Seventeen Seconds
12. Underneath the Stars - 4:13 Dream
13. Lost - The Cure

Edited: what's nuts is that only one of those (Lost) isn't a great song.

Good list. Mine would look like this:

1. The Kiss - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
2. One Hundred Years - Pornography
3. Plainsong - Disintegration
4. 10:15 Saturday Night - Three Imaginary Boys
5. In Between Days - The Head on the Door
6. Shake Dog Shake - The Top
7. Open - Wish
8. A Reflection - Seventeen Seconds
9. Underneath the Stars - 4:13 Dream
10. The Holy Hour - Faith
11. Want - Wild Mood Swings
12. Out of This World - Bloodflowers
13. Lost - The Cure

[chiapet]

Haha I just noticed that it looked like he has crimped his hair in that In Between video. Oh Robert.

[sbessiso]

wow, you guys really dont like "Lost" from the s/t, eh? I think its a fantastic opener, really starts the album off right. Amazing production

[Mr.Trent]

oi! I know Japanese Whispers is not a proper LP but nonetheless I regard it as one:

1. One Hundred Years - Pornography
2. Plainsong - Disintegration
3. The Holy Hour - Faith
4. Shake Dog Shake - The Top
5. The Kiss - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
6. Let's Go To Bed - Japanese Whispers
7. Open - Wish
8. In Between Days - The Head on the Door
9. 10:15 Saturday Night - Three Imaginary Boys
10. Out of This World - Bloodflowers
11. Underneath the Stars - 4:13 Dream
12. A Reflection - Seventeen Seconds
13. Lost - The Cure
14. Want - Wild Mood Swings

[chiapet]

Lost isn't terrible, it's the only opener I don't really like. It's tough to find a Cure song that's really "bad", you know?
