Re: The Cure
Ok, time to jump into the world of The Cure. I'm already enjoying myself listening to Pornography. The Hanging Garden, Siamese Twins and The Figurehead is a lovely three song run.

This album is some real heavy listening. I like it quite a bit but it probably won't be an album I'll be able to put on a lot. It will be perfect if I'm in a certain mood.

It's pretty involved, yeah. "The Figurehead" kind of frightens me.

Re: The Cure
I'm also now listening to the album all the way through for the first time. The first song is sublime.

Re: The Cure
Well, that was a total shift in mood putting on The Head On The Door. 
The first song was really good. This is right up my alley.

Re: The Cure
The way "Pictures of You" starts with a totally different, more moody guitar part for the first minute or so and then breaks into the song you've only heard on a radio edit is *majestic*.

Re: The Cure
I really like that sound. It's all over the album. I think Robert is playing a six-string bass.

It's so thickly layered with Chorus peddles. Lush.

Re: The Cure
Six Different Ways make me happy. Interesting that they wrote songs like The Figurehead just three years before this.

I can't help but think the melody part on "Love Song" would've been played on Mandolin in the '90s.

Re: The Cure
The Cure's Disintegration sounds like the feeling of being in that whitewashed inbetween dream-like state before you go under in an operating theatre, and you're inhaling from the mask.

Re: The Cure
Just love how much dissonance and atonal melody there is in 'Disintegration', even though the bassline is fairly standard.

Re: The Cure
Really enjoying The Head On The Door. It's such a strange album with some confusing songs but it's really good. Thanks, guys.
Thanks, guys.-

How did they play Give Me It without Porl's anarchic sax?!

I know I'm talking to myself in here but that hardly seems reason to stop.
