the cure..

i think most of you people know this band.. if you don't, here's a little song: click.

i don't really know them, i've only been getting into them lately..

i want to buy one of their albums, any suggestions?

Depends on what kind of music you like the best... there's a huge difference bewteen the early and the later albums. These are the albums I've heard so far:

1981 - Faith: This is the reason The Cure got the lable 'gothic'. Slow, dark post-punk, which is absolutely great if you like bands as Bauhaus and Joy Division. My personal favourite.

1996 - Wild Mood Swings: Very jazzy. I didn't like it. Actually, I only listened to a couple of tracks before I couldn't stand it anymore - but then again I'm not a big fan of jazz, so there's a chance you might like it if you are.

2000 - Bloodflowers: Melancholic, but definately not gothic. Too many love sings for my taste, but overall it's good.

2004 - The Cure: I know of some hardcore The Cure-fans who hate this album for being so far from their original style. Personally, I think it's okay. Catchy pop/rock melodies, but it still has the remarkable vocal of Robert Smith, which is the most important thing.

i like the songs just like heaven, pictures of you, friday i'm in love and close to me the most, from what i've heard. i have no idea which albums they're from. :]

thanks for your post.

maybe i'll download some albums to see which one i like best, and then buy one. or i'll go listen to them in a cd store.

Just like heaven gives me the chills and reminds me of a very special time in my life.




I think Carpathian Forest's version of the Cures - A Forest was pretty cool
