Album Poll #2
Working backwards! This album probably draws more ire and praise from those who don't like early Cure than the next year's Pornography. Ire for being very slow, quiet, and, well, grey. But the praise comes from the genius single "Primary", the fastest and cheeriest song on the album. Less diverse than it's successor, more varied than Seventeen Seconds, this album is not unlike the transition from sublimated neurosis to full blown bipolar disorder. It's also the balance to 1984's The Top; This one's depression at its finest, the other pure mania.

Re: Album Poll #2
Another favorite Cure album of mine. I fail to find much fault with these early efforts. Selecting my favorite was easier this time, as I am quite fond of "The Drowning Man". I do tend to prefer the live version captured on Concert, however.
Close seconds (in alphabetical order) are:
By the way, I am opting to limit my vote to the original track listings. | |||||||||||

Re: Album Poll #2
Yet live, the title track is so exquisite. Ach, whatever, I'm a sucker for the title track on early Cure albums! Except on Seventeen Seconds... I love "At Night" and "In Your House" to a grisly death. | |||||||||||
