and Bloodflowers sucks, really? I completely disagree. It's easily in my top 5 cure albums.

Best cure b-side is 2 Late.
That it DIDN'T make it on Disintegration is criminal. Well, surely something about pace or whatever but still. It wouldn't have been more out of place than say, Lovesong. I remember in like 2000 i spent weeks trying napster and other file sharing programs to find all the cure rarities and bsides i could and it took me a long time to assemble a pretty impressive folder full of them. And THEN a few years later The Cure conveniently releases most of this shit on record.... It kinda annoyed me. Though there's probably 80's cure fans who would read this and think fuck you i actually had to go to independent record stores or exchange bootlegs through the mail to get those. Still though, i've got stuff they never released. |

Can we at least all agree that Wild Mood Swings is pretty much the worst thing ever
I think the Teargarden songs might be the only thing that sinks lower |

Ok here's my top 5
1. Pornography 2. Disintegration 3. Faith 4. The Head on the Door 5. Bloodflowers I lied, it wasn't easy. I could just as easily list Seventeen Seconds there. Wish would be just behind that one. |

My ranking would be like
1 - Disintegration 2 - 17 seconds 3 - The head on the door 4 - KMKMKM (despite finding nearly half of it nearly unlistenable, I just pretend its a ten songs record) 5 - Faith 6 - Pornography 7 - Wish 8 - Three imaginary boys 9 - The top 10 - WMS 11 - Bloodflowers 12 and on- whatever other bullshit they released after that Pretty much after Three imaginary boys it doesn't matter that much to me. Even if the top has its moment. Also depending on the days i mght rate wish lower or even maybe higher. It IS the record that got me into The Cure so... It was still their last good record. Not great but good. But some songs on it havent aged well for me. I don't care how GAY it is but i like the 13th on WMS. And at the time i thought Mint car was alright if also a little bit too GAY. I don't suppose you'll ever know the how to keep her, amirite? |

i was trying to think of my cure album purchase chronology and i think it's something like:
bloodflowers when it comes out disintegration kiss me x3 on vinyl a few year later used boys don't cry head on the door japanese whispers the vhs singles thing join the dots by that time i was purchasing the deluxe reissues of the first 3 or 4 albums so like whenever the reissue of 17 seconds came out that was the first time i heard that album. as an example. |

17 seconds is so overrated
faith & pornography both trump it easily, i mean the forest and assorted other tracks are cool but come on i got join the dots as a christmas present in high school & obv that was one of the coolest christmas presents i ever got, still don't think i've made it through the whole thing though but damn what a cool release. some beautiful stuff on there, in retrospect this one in particular stuck out to me for whatever reason, without having the tracklisting or anything in front of me |

i know people could say this for all the albums but that is one to me that sounds truly, truly better live than on the record
actually i kinda wanna compile or maybe find a show where they played the whole thing (i.e. pornography, disintegration, bloodflowers? was that done for 17 seconds ever? i feel like it was but that coulda been a dream) and just listen to that when i'm hankerin' for the 17 sec |

I think al songs on seventeen secons are good. Well except maybe the final sound which actually was supposed to be much longer but they ran out of tape...
I do find Pornography a bit overrated and the thing is, all the songs on it are so much better live, to an extent that it makes it harder for me to enjoy the record versions. Like one hundred years and the figurehead are so much better on Paris. It's a shame Charlotte Sometimes isn't on it (also a song that is loads better live). This is probably my favorite early 80's cure song. At least in all those released between 79 to 85. Faith is better than Pornograhy I feel. |

It's not only the greatest Goth album of all time, but it manages to also be the greatest New Wave album of all time as well. It's the perfect blend
Edit: talking about 17 seconds |

faith was better and pornography just set it all in stone, they were their own thing it's just always sounded kinda limp and transitional to me, a preparation for the greatness to come |

And yes 17 seconds was played live in its entirety. They ended up doing this for all their records i think? |

i think there was an "alternate trilogy" thing where they did seventeen, faith, and pornography or something, after the original p, d, & bf thing they did
