Free Music Review: Pornography of a soul....
Hit: 5 Stars
This, along with Disintegration, are my favorite Cure albums. I have only a handful of their work, but this one sticks out more than anyone, because of its relentless, overwhelming sense of despair. It is reminiscent of Pink Floyd's The Final Cut, Skip Spence's Oar, and Nick Drake's Pink Moon in terms of hearing a soul in torment and a band in deepest depair.
Robert Smith was extremely depressed and doing a ton of drugs when he made this album, and his misery bleeds through every groove. The opener, One Hundred Years, set the tone with "it doesn't matter if we all die", and it sails the seas of blood from there. I really like the songs One Hundred Years, The Hanging Garden (the cheeriest song on the album, which isn't saying much, and not suprisingly, the album's only single), and the title track, which is a great closer. Smith's vocals are especially strong on this one, showing much more emotion than he usually does. I've always found his voice rather flat, but here his despair makes him sing better than he usually does.
The album sounds like a lot of Public Image Limited's early work. The sound is coarse, cacophonous, and edgy, and it really, really works. If I had to take two Cure albums to an island, I would take this one and Disintegration.
Pornography Poster
Originally a goth-flavored post-punk outfit, The Cure evolved into one of the truly seminal bands of the '80s, and ultimately one of modern rock's most celebrated and influential acts. Guided by creative visionary Robert Smith, The Cure's signature sound balances dreamy pop savvy and poetic lyricism with a dark, brooding intensity. The band's first four groundbreaking albums-newly remastered-are a series of masterpieces that laid the groundwork for their phenomenal and enduring popularity. Fusing superbly crafted songs with charged emotional depth from the very beginning, The Cure's early catalogue, as upgraded by Rhino, is ready to be revisted.Alternative Rock Music CDs
