Yeah Pornography is #2 for me as well


Standing on a Beach is my actual fav release overall but counting a singles comp as an album for this purpose feels weird


I can't make it through Disintegration tho

Pornography-worship is basically its own genre.

Best Cure albums in order:

Disintegration
The Head On The Door
Pornography
Faith
Seventeen Seconds
The Top
Kiss Me 3x
Wish
Three Imaginary Boys

Then it drops off considerably after 1992 with Wish. Wild Mood Swings and Bloodflowers has a few good songs, and haven't bothered with anything since.

Favorite band live, though. 10/10, would see again (saw 5 times already)

Wild Mood Swings is probably my favorite, even though I know it's one of their worst albums.

Can't listen to this band for extended periods, maybe one song and you move on. The gothic appeal they tried to capture seems forced, rather than a band like joy division where the darkness unraveled naturally

not in they're imaginary but in the ambiance they're music carried then definitely, they captured the tone without trying unlike the cure where it comes off like a novelty

Gotta disagree. The Cure help invent that shit and Pornography (or 17 seconds and Faith) do not come off as gimmicky in any way. Absurd. Joy Division is dark, bit certainly not gothic. They are the definition of post punk.

i listen to it and it sounds like pure theatrics, I can't buy into it. Joy Division is gothic above all else, from the pastoral sounding vocalist, to lyrics of melancholy to the morbid and brooding bass driven instrumentals.

It's funny you say that, because Robert Smith himself has said that he hates his band being called goth.

Yeah cuz he's self aware, similar to a hipster not wanting to be called a hipster, no difference

I dunno, you hear songs like Lovecats, Mint Car, Hot Hot Hot, or Return, and I can see how they wouldn't want to be called Goth.

Joy Division is great, sure, but they weren't around for very long. New Order took it's place, and they eventually stopped.

Robert looks like a swollen woman, but you have to credit the band's longevity and diverse music.

The theatrics are part of why it is goth. Joy Division is 4 guys dressed in nice clothes singing about claustrophobia and depression, which I understand, but certainly not gothic.

Every gothic band say has said the same thing. The Sisters Of Mercy being the most steadfast.

This isn't possible to answer, so Disintegration.

Cure is based on mood, and even season. If you've never listened to bloodflowers as you travel during the fall, you're missing out.
