Post-Wish confession

Hi, I don't think too many people would say that you've missed out on a bunch of masterpieces. I would have a go at Bloodflowers and see how you like it, the tour with that album in particular was close to former glories in my opinion. There surely some gems to be found from the three other ones however, counting b-sides and bonus tracks and whatnot… enjoy! 

Me too...But that's because there was something about Wish that just didn't work for me for a long time. I just wanted that album to be an instrumental and so I kind of walked away from them for a while after that. I got into Wild Mood Swings a few years ago cos it's a real train wreck of an album, you can feel the hair being torn out as they run out of ego. It's like a colour by numbers 'Kiss me' you know? just the formula of angsty song followed by pop song followed by crashing song followed by melancholia etc. And it really doesn't work unless you pull it apart and put it back together again. Every song is a b side and what a great home tape compilation that album would have been if they'd never released it as a complete work. Its just the whole contradiction of The Cure again, whenever you think that they might be something they turn it on it's head. I love that record.
What else have you missed...Paris...now there's a good record. I'm no fan of double albums that are only around 12 minutes per side...there's something wrong with that. I've got it on cassette...it works on tape...no good on record really. Just sat down and you gotta turn it over again...nah!
As above...Bloodflowers..especially camping in the rain and Bloodflowers. There's something about the drama of the rain and that album.
And of course 4:13 Dream...'Underneath The Stars' alone is worth the admission fee.

Bloodflowers is ageing well. It doesn't matter how I approach WMS or self-titled I can't get into them. There's a good album somewhere in 4.13 but it's been smothered in the mix/mastering.
I'm positive the current line up could produce something spectacular if they wished (pun intended!)

That Finsbury park gig in '93 was the end of an era, Porl gone and Boris' last show..

another vote for ‘bloodflowers’,i think it’s a fine album.i think ‘the cure’ album is finally starting to grow on me too,no idea why it took this long though ha ha

Yeah because it hasn't grown on me lol

Haha ba dum bump... Yeah I just can't get into it. It's actually beneath wms for me. ******runs and hides******
