Free Music Notes for Pornography [Deluxe Edition]
Free Music Review: Alice Cooper Dead Babies Killer
Hit: 4 Stars
That is how porno graphy sounds and feels like. An extended updated version. From 71 to 81. Really good moody beats with simple and hypnotic arrangments. Just what the doctor ordered for these hard times. Lets hope sanity will reign...Free Music Review: Why Remaster?
Hit: 2 Stars
Normally I love to hear my favourite albums remastered, and God knows there are plenty of '80s albums that desperately need it (Psychocandy!). However, I think that the decidedly murky sound quality of this album was its best feature. Let's face it, this really isn't the Cure's best album. My personal favourites are 'Faith' and 'The Head On The Door', but 'Pornography' had always seemed really good. That is, until they remastered it. Sure, now you can hear every 'nuance', but on top of that you can also hear just how frightfully mediocre the songs are. With the old version, it sounded like the band recorded the album at the bottom of a swamp, and that seemed to work really well with the overall sound and feel of the album. But now that it sounds all clean and clear, you realise just how weak this album was in the first place. To the original version of the album, I give four stars. But to this remaster, I give two.Free Music Review: JUST A PORN IN THE GAME

IT CANNOT BE DISPUTED THAT PORNOGRAPHY IS ONE OF THE CURE'S
BEST ALBUMS UNTIL KISS ME CAME ALONG.SO WHY DOES THIS RELEASE GET ONE STAR WHEN THE REMASTERING IS GREAT ON THIS CLASSIC ALBUM?
THE BONUS DISC IS PURE JUNK WHITH MANY ALTERNATIVE REPEATS.THIS DETRACTS FROM THE GREAT FIRST DISC.IF MY SON PICT OUT THIS ALBUM AND PLAYED DISC TWO FIRST HE MIGHT WONDER WHY I HAD IT IN MY COLLECTION .THE CURE SHOT THERE LOAD BY RELEASING THE JOIN THE DOT'S COLLECTION LEAVING NOTHING WORTHWHILE (EXCLUDING CARRNAGE VISITORS ON FAITH)TO ADD AS BONUSES.JOIN THE DOTS NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED THAT MATERIAL SHOULD HAVE MADE IT ONTO THE BONUS DISCS.WHEN THEY RELEASE KISS ME IT WILL NEVER BE LIKE THE ORIGINAL ALBUM AS IT IS SPLIT UP ONTO JOIN THE DOTS.THE BONUS MATERIAL MIGHT BE BETTER AS THEY WERE ACOMPLISHED PRODUCERS AND MUSICIANS BY THAT POINT.
THE BOOKS ARE HARD TO READ DEW TO THE COLOR AND TYPE (YES I AM OLDER NOW THAN WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE ALBUM.)THE PAPER IS ALSO THIN AND CHEAP.
WHY CAN ELVIS COSTELLO RELEASE HIS CATALOGUE WITH A BONUS DISC OF 20 VIABLE SONGS AND PACKAGING FOR 14.99? THE CURE'S IS ALMOST 10 DOLLARS MORE. THAT IS THE REAL PORNOGRAPHY, EVER FEEL LIKE YOUVE BEEN HAD?
Free Music Review: My God, This Is Even More Awful Than the Original!
Hit: 1 Stars
Imagine how you would feel if your hands were tied behind your back while somebody held the spinning blades of a screamingly loud gas-powered lawnmower up to your face. That is the sound of `Pornography'. On this album, the atmospherics of previous albums melt into chaos, until nothing is left but the brain-numbing hum of impending death. I could scream, if only I weren't so bored.
`Pornography' is the Frankenstein version of `Faith' and "Seventeen Seconds'. It takes all of the bits that made those albums interesting and good, and renders them into something monstrous and hideous.
While parts of `Faith' might have sounded like it was recorded underwater, this collection makes me wish that someone would throw a toaster into the tub. D+ Tom Ryan
