Yes, do that. Begin today.
Ok, why not. Is Pornography and The Head on the Door a good start?
Yes.

I will report back. (Maybe in a Cure Thread if I find one)

Or look for the album with 'Disintegration' on it.

Just know that (and Spenno will disagree with me here, but) Disintegration is their greatest album. Their catalogue is wide and filled with all kinds of treasures, but I don't think they ever released anything as powerful, consistent or enduring as that album.

I meant the album Disintegration when I said I haven't delved deeper than that.

I will keep that in mind.

Is there even a song called that? I'm showing the gaps in my knowledge.

Cool, I'm not going mad then. Or I am, but for other reasons.

Go backwards from disintegration and you can't go wrong.

Pop Jam have still not written anything as good as "Friday I'm in Love".

Am I the first to point out that the production and style of this track make it really sound like an instrumental demo which Eddie put his fixins all over?
It has a great middle 8. If you take out the strumming you've got a song that musically sounds very similar to Force of Nature. I can see myself growing to liking this one more than the others if I can get past the repetition.
I want to see this on regular radio rotation because it has enough hooks in it to pull in the casual knownothings but something tells me they'll pick something like Getaway because it's more PJ signature.

It doesn't sound much like Force of Nature at all

LB sounds more like Unthought Known.

i don't think swallowed whole sounds much like either of them. FoN never even occurred to me so the next time I listen to it I'll try and spot that.

4.5 stars! (voted 4)
This one will be one of my favorites on the album.
After listening to it more than 15 times i am lovin' everything about it.
Has potential for a single. Great uplifting solo from Mike.

A montage from "A Bug's Life" plays in my head when I hear this song.

Na, most people are saying R.E.M. I think Counting Crows myself. But I only mentioned The Cure in more general terms, pop music.
