The Cure

[Jorge]

You know what's a good Cure song I never listen to? "The Promise", from 2004. Apart from Robert's hilarious scream at the start, it's a very satisfying listen.

very nice.



I don't know how Bloodflowers gets such a bad rap here. It's just brilliant! It doesn't come off as superficial (to me)...



The wife included this track on her RM - inspired Best of the 2000's mixtape. What a gorgeous song.

I love the scream!

That whole record is pretty good, definitely the best post-90s Cure release. Great b-sides too, as ever.

Apropos of nothing, Robert Smith's pretty wonderful home demo of 10:15 Saturday Night:

I was in the garage this weekend any came across my Love Song 45. 2 Late is another one of those little Cure gems.

Not sure if you've already seen but they recently played it live for the first time too:

[Jorge]

Nice performance.

[nyquillyn]

Seventeen Seconds is shear fucking bliss. To me, it's clearly their best early/pre-Top album. It destroys Pornography.

[LetMeSleep]

There's an early boot from Amsterdam dec 1979 around if anyone is interested. Yet to hear it myself.

[Birds in Hell]

Jesus!

That's every song from 'The Top' sprinkled throughout, some of which haven't been played since 1984.

i prefer Pornography, but Seventeen Seconds is sublime

In Your House and At Night are fuckin great

At Night is one of my fav Cure songs, easily



this version

[Birds in Hell]

As it's a live album, I always forget to mention Paris when I list my favourite Cure albums but it's definitely one of my favourite things they've ever done (and played a large part in cementing my die-hard Cure fandom back in the day).

Same here... Got Paris and Show, bundled together, and that's all it took for me.

[Lament]

Was there a Paris video? I remember having Show on VHS, but don't think I had Paris.

Nope.

[tattooedeverything]

About 10 years ago, the fucking awesome Paris versions of "At Night" and "In Your House" are what opened my eyes to the earlier Cure material. At that time, I was more about the stuff from '87 onwards.

[Birds in Hell]

They sound so good, I really hope they swing through here again soon (and keep these songs in the set, two all-time favourites of mine):

Great atmosphere

I am loving the shit out of Want at the moment.

[William Bloke]

Burn.

Doing some serious catch-up here with these guys at the mo.
