Round 6: Album Survivor Game (ends Sat 17th Aug)

me too.
seems like i’m the only one who quite likes ‘the cure’ album😕

Fair enough. I'll stick to this way of thinking, then.

Sorry, not a huge fan of THOTD. For me, their weakest album of the golden era.

Rules are very clear on this point - vote for what you want!


It is very subjective though - the B-sides, car stereos, old tapes and the girl who worked in the Basildon Our Price all contribute to my not voting for SOAB or Concert/Curiosity.

No.

You sure you not getting second hand fumes from the crack smokers if you think head on the door is a mixed bag!!?

I voted Show, as I didn't really enjoy the concerts on this tour.
It was great to be 3 nights in the first row in Paris, but the rendition of old songs was weak to my ears.
I think I only listened to this twice...

Otherwise, The Cure LP is much better than most people think.
It suffers a lot from Simon saying he didn't like the recording, but I think this is a very good attempt of doing something new, certainly a bit inspired by bands such as Mogwai, and it's even better if you skip the singles.
Some guitar parts on it are the most interesting they recorded for years.
