Title: The Cure
Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on December 03, 2004, 08:18:28 AM
Last Weekend I saw The Cure Icon, well I'm a great Fan of the band, but I don't think MTV shoul have made that icon to The Cure, I mean just because the band took out a new record doesnt mean that it has to be an Icon, I know The Cure is a 70 band and has inspired a lot of bands, but the rolling stone and judas priest are too and they have inspired much more bands than the cure, opinions?  ???

Is that the same show in which they did an MTV Icon Metallica and everybody was complaining because Fred Durst was a part of the show? I don't remember if he hosted or performed, but I do recall somebody here made a few comments about it.

The cure's been around for over 25 years now and their core audience is typically 5 to 10 years older than the regular MTV follower, but The cure still gets airplay on MTV. Not much I'd say, but MTV still has an audience craving for anything Cure related. And apperantly, Smith has inspired current artists such as Manson, Evanescence...

RS and Judas Priests hardly get anymore MTV airplay these days. Both bands are on hiatus + they are not what you will call material for MTV. Sure both bands have inspired a lot of people, but probably not many amongst the MTV audience.

On a side note. The cure is one of my favorite bands. Grab a copy of "Disintegration". Best album with AFD to come out in the 80's? : ok:

Disintegration is spectacular, Robert Smith is a musical genius and an amazing lyricist. The Cure deserve to be on Icon. As far as Judas Priest and the Rolling Stones, of course they do to, but the Cure definitely deserve this recognition.

Yes I know is an excellent record probably my fave from tha band, I like fascination street and love song, which is a happy song made very depressive is just awsome.

Yes, but I think is like too forced to be an Icon, I really think that It would better be the Rolling Stones, or even Sabbath  :confused:

I've really got into this amazing band over the last couple of weeks, and was wondering if anyone could provide any suggestions as to which albums I should check out.

Right now, I only have Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, and I absolutely love it.

Thank you Cure fans :)

Thanks for the suggestions folks, looks like I'll be doing some shopping this week ;)

I saw them on TV last night performing for some recent MTV thing and was blown away.

Robert and Porl are wicked guitarists :)

im super fan
disintegration is the best album
bloodflowers is very very good.. the arrangements are dark and moody but with a pop romantic twist
i bought the trilogy dvd.. where they played as a goodbye show pornography, disintegration and bloodflowers and is amazing
the self titled album is very good.. is more organic and songs are kinda progressive

i heard the new single and is very very good.. pure pop

Awesome band.

Although Disinitegration is great...I must say "Wish" is my favorite album by them. Not their most praised work that's for sure, but it's so DARK and OBSCURE. I was expecting a totally different vibe, especially since it's got "Friday, Im in love", but man,... how wrong I was.   

Favorite songs "Letter to Elise" and the beautifully depressing "Trust". That 3 minute piano intro gets me each and every time.

Yeah, you'd probably like them.

Maybe check out:

Lullaby
Mint Car
Last Dance
Just Like Heaven
Lovesong
The End of the World
The Perfect Girl

Anyways, I finally picked up a copy of Disintegration the other day, and I absolutely love it.

Last Dance is probably my favorite right now, simply beautiful.

Oh, and as soon as I have sufficient funds, I'll definately check out Wish :)

yeah disintegration is my definite fave. i wonder if they new album thats coming out soon will be any good.

apparently robert had 12 happy songs and 12 gloomy songs and decided to releases most of the happy songs, promising to release the doom and gloom in the future. but since this album was pushed back so much who knows how long it'll take him to release the darker stuff.

i've always tended to like the sadder stuff so...


Title: Re: The Cure
Post by: AxlsMainMan on September 22, 2008, 03:46:51 PM
I love all of it.

They're probably the most diverse band I've ever heard.

As for the new album, judging by the 4 singles, I'm sure it will be truly awesome :)

GnFnR87, what would your all-time favorite Cure song be?

I find mine is always changing, but right now I can't get enough of Disintegration.

It's nice to see I'm not the only one with love for The Cure here. I saw them live in Stockholm earlier this year, and while the setlist wasn't exactly what I'd hoped for (too many surefire crowd-pleasers for my liking), it was an amazing evening.

I just wish they'd release the next batch of remastered albums (Disintegration and Wish included) already.

Post by: GnFnR87 on October 28, 2008, 05:20:11 PM
i think the new album is okay, hopefully it'll grow on me.

underneath the stars, sirensong, this. here. now. with you., are all great, and i also like The Only one because it reminds of "Wish" era cure.

with that being said, the rest of the songs dont do much for me.

it also sucks that the song "Without You" was a b-side to the perfect boy single, yet it is better than some of the songs on the actual album!!

check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_10GqCnOYjM

if anyone has this song in mp3 form it would be awesome if u could send it me.

all in all the album is decent, but i hope it grows on  me more. still looking forward to the 12 or so gloomy songs that robert smith recorded and will hopefully release as another album in the future.

i dont know if could rank all of them yet because i havent listened to Three Imaginary Boys at all, and i havent listened to Seventeen Seconds and Faith in a long time, but heres my top 5

1. Disintegration
2. Wish
3. Pornography
4. The Head on The Door
5. Kiss Me Kiss me Kiss me

The self titled is good, and Bloodflowers i'm still trying to get into, some of the songs plod along and dont do much for me, but the last track, the song bloodflowers, is awesome.

Listened to the new album once--it's okay--but not *great.*

I think the first half is amazing, but it does kind of lose steam during the second half.

My favorite song right now is probably "The Hungry Ghost," it's mindblowingly good.

another really good B-side that should've been on the album, "down under", off the "Sleep When I'm Dead" single:

By the way, unless you're a completist, avoid the Hypnagogic States EP like the plague. It's even less enjoyable than I expected.

The new album is really growing on me, what do you think of it Kyon?

I got it on friday...for some reason It hasn?t grown on me all that fast, however, I can tell the high quality in it.

The last two tracks are the only ones that aren't doin' much for me.

Funny, the last 2 tracks are, to me, two of the best while The Hungry Ghost is one of 4 tracks I still can?t get used to. It?s The Cure though and they are awesome.

i really like there "Disintegration" album.

Very good, dark and psychedelic. Although its depressing as fuck!!! So i cant listen to it too much.



I think fans of The Cures stranger darker stuff would definately like The horrors Primary Colours album. Check out the singles from that album.

That band is ok.

You should check out Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, The Head on the Door, and Wild Mood Swings if you liked Disintegration though.

Exciting news! The ball is finally rolling for the Disintegration remaster; it's due to be released next spring. Here's the official word: http://www.thecure.com/blog/default.aspx?nid=23104

I can hardly wait to get my paws on the 3CD deluxe edition with all the extras and, above all, enhanced sound.

Indeed. The sound quality on the original CD pressing is stellar, this will be insane.
