Forum Album Club #4- The Cure "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me"

[Ruckus]

All I Want rocks with great balance between the keys and guitar, I guess much like the others. 

Are there three guitars going in HHH?  I guess it's natural to compare this to the Talking Heads?

[mjk73]

Yeah. The Kiss is a great opener. The guitar on this album is fantastic. The Snake Pit is great. Why Can't I Be You is excellent. Hot Hot Hot is great.

One more time makes me want to slow dance with my high school girlfriend in some gymnasium in space.

I've always thought Jim and Robert have so much in common.  If you can write a song about the beauty of love, you can then write about the devastation of love leaving.

Icing Sugar is an amazing track....they're giving off a jungle, blade runner vibe/sound with an alleyway saxophonist tearing it up

Perfect Girl is a fun track as well

You could probably bust out some killer moves during a song like hot hot hot!

Ha, The Cure!!!!!!

Like Cacatoos, remindes me of The Head on the Door, another great one.  They really do span the spectrum on this record.  Great Choice Ghosts!!!!

Hot Hot Hot can make you wake up with glow in the dark lube all over your walls.

How Beautiful You Are Has Accordion? 

This record really does an amazing job of using Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, etc... in just the right places without being cheesy or lame. 

and the lyrics.....

And in the road before us
Stood a weary greyish man
Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than the air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

The father's eyes said "Beautiful!
How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said
"How beautiful!
She shimmers like a star!"
The childs eyes uttered nothing
But a mute and utter joy
And filled my heart with shame for us
At the way we are

I turned to look at you
To read my thoughts upon your face
And gazed so deep into your eyes
So beautiful and strange
Until you spoke
And showed me understanding is a dream
"I hate these people staring
Make them go away from me!"

Remindes me of these lyrics by wolf parade.....

You said you hate the sound
Of the busses on the ground
You said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town
I said pretend it's whales
Keeping their voices down
Such were the grounds for divorce I know

Thanks Dave.  I'm so shocked that it was someone new to the band.  The keys really are amazing on that record.
