Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
I always liked the Cure but I never both an album and never really got into them.
Now I was thinking of getting me one but I really have No clue wish I should try.
Can someone please give some advice?
I'm not realy a 'Best off' kind of man. I don't like it to only hear the Best songs, problably becauze I mostly like those song nobody even notice.
But thanks, I go find one!!
I heard alot about 'Pornography' so I think I'll start whit it.
Cure "in Concert" which is a mid-eighties compilation of live tracks (from 2,3 different concerts but songs really blend in with each other) (+A Forest live version on this record kills the studio version !!!)
The real Holy Trinity is Seventeen Seconds (stark, grey, minimalist post-punk), Faith (brooding miserabalia) and Pornography (unprecedented mayhem and savagery). All the other LPs are so completely different from each other that we're really into best-of territory, otherwise you risk buying something you'll hate.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Thankfully I didn't, but I also think it's The Cures worst song.

I’ll be forever grateful
Depends on what kind of stuff you like I guess. What tracks have you heard and like?
Disintegration is always a good starting point I think - it leaves some breadth to go in several directions with the band's sounds, but is also seen as "definitive" by a lot of people....
[shameless promotion]
btw, if you like the cure check out the best forum on the web for them:
Three Imaginary Boys - good, very much of its time tho
17 Seconds - Bleak, Bleak, Bleak!
Faith - very good, not so bleak still quite down tho
Porno - noise in the extreme, dank more than bleak, the whole thing is cathartic
<skipped a few years>
Disintigration - class, quality
Wish - worth it for the final track - End. A stunning piece of music and words.
<skips more years>
Bloodflowers - very good indeed
Trilogy - Porno, Disint, B Flowers + - indispensable
all of the above is IMO, obviously.

Robert Smith's guitar playing with The Banshees is exemplary, Nocturne proves this, no matter what Ms. Siouxsie or Mr. Severin says.
(they bad mouthed him after he went back to Lol Tolhurst, at that point, Robert and Lol were The Cure)

WTF? Bloodflowers is one of their BEST albums to date
All the tracks sounded the same. Boring acoustic melodys that could have been pulled off by a bunch of angst ridden teens. In my opinion, a marketing ploy to get to todays generation of pathetic people and to leave us pornography and faith fans in the dark..

if you want to do two favoures to yourself go and buy anything

Bloodflowers is NOT The Cure, someone must have nicked em for a while. It's shocking, but better than Wild mood swings WTF was that?
Disingeration is by far the best cure album, followed by wish, Head on the door, Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, faith................damn it they're all good apart from the most recent two!
