From today's
Independent in an article about The Cure Album Pornography -
"...A hugely influential record, its slow, mechanised drums, heavily treated guitars and sombre synths anticipated The Sisters' Reptile House EP..."
Anticipated? What does that mean then?
Discuss.

Pornography is by far the finest moment in Fat Bobs career. A classic album.

There you go, the missing link between all good bands. Even if some people got it wrong.

Rubbish. Disintegration is the best.
You are however, entitled to your wrong opinion.

Hmmm, I'll definitely vote for Pornography. Disintegration was the only real highlight in the inexorable slide from there on in. It's good, but it contains a lot of mediocre filler. Pornography has no filler, and is a classic from beginning to end.

haven't warmed to "the cure" at all... recently heard "bloodflowers" and that one is growing on me
i still maintain "17 seconds" is one of the best albums ever.

The Top is ace.
They've not done anything good since the Wish album.
Except for Burn which was on the Crow soundtrack.

Fat Bob was best when he shut up his whining and played on the Banshees "Hyaena".

I wonder what he'll do at Live Aid 2? He couldn't very well sing 'feed the world', with all those pies inside him...

Stop discussing?
Bob influenced AE...any truth to this? Can't see it myself, not on RH...atypical Sisters sound of the period IMO.
