Let's get this started, Wild Mood Swings fans make yourselves known! After loving the Wish era and properly getting into The Cure around then, I must say I was initially disappointed with WMS other than Want and the brilliant Jupiter Crash which they'd played the previous year at Glastonbury.
It has grown on me over the years and I consider myself a fan of it even thought it's not a classic album. I feel there's enough good material on the album and amongst the b-sides (20 songs in total) to have made an excellent album, it's just a shame the final tracklist wasn't stronger.
It's an album that divides opinion, so lets talk about it! I'll post my own alternate version too soon
Problem with WMS is that it's about 4 songs too long, I tend to listen and skip and then I find it quite enjoyable, there is just too much filler on it.
i think WMS is a very good album (not the best), sure i hate one or two songs...but play it loud after many beers or madbobs...and you all can dance to all WMS songs...lol...
your name...like ice into my heart...a shllow grave...a monument to the ruined age...ice in my eyes...and eyes like ice don't move...screaming at the moon...as cold as silence...and you never will say a word...this is my name...and a strange day...ever and ever and ever again......

Same for me, I love Want, Jupiter Crash, Bare, and a few others. I've revaluated it a lot, and I don't think it's a BAAAD abum, but obviously it's not one of my favourites

i like a lot this album... when i listen it i do in complete... but... the swing tour REALLY ROCKS... i am more a bootlistener than an almun listener... and i love swing tour boots... the best FOREVER versions, and i must say the band was very experimental at stage... a lot of song with some kind of different feeling... more than WMS album fan i am a Swing Tour fan...
Problem with WMS is that it's about 14 songs too long, I tend to listen and skip and then I find quite an enjoyable, there is just too much filler on it.
I have never understood the hate towards this album. I can't say that I like only ''few'' songs because then I'd be lying. I like more than ''few''. Actually this album is not as bad as most people think. The thing is that I can't imagine listening to this album all the way through - it's too much of mood swinging for me, but songs that are on this album can easily make it to my ''The happiest songs'' or ''I feel sad'', or ''Beautiful sounds and words''playlists.
