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

[sweatboard]

A Thousand Hours  *Rips Heart Out Of Chest*

You can't listen to this song and tell me you don't hear the similarities between Robert and Yim.

Also, people that say the cure is depressing just don't really know the cure. Can they be? Sure. But listen to Just Like heaven, like you guys were saying, or a song like Mint Car from wild mood swings. Thats like the happiest song ever.

Just finished the album....that was a lot to take in, will indulge in another listen or 2 this week...really liked what I heard. first impression score 7.4.... but I am a man who knows a quality/classic album when I hear one....with more time I'm sure I'd put it round and 8.5 or higher, great choice Ghosts...

...gotta early rise tomorrow gentlemen, I'm off....can't wait to see what #5 will be.

The Cure can make anyone with a heart, even middleaged men  :) want to dance around like a teenage girl alone in her bedroom.

I never perceived the Cure to be depressing.  I just was never a fan of Robert Smith.  For those diehards that standby this album, do you wish that the album was split?  It's just all over the place.  From the psych explorations to the bouncy dancy to the rockin' closers and everything in between?

That's been the rub on this album is how all over the place it seems to be.  IMO, most of the songs fit so I wouldn't see the need to split the album.

See, I like that about it. It's definitely on purpose, as they know how to make a cohesive album as good (or better) as anybody. See Pornography or Disintegration.

Gotcha.  Definitely gave me a newfound respect for this band for sure.

Awesome!!
I even think Head On The Door is cohesive, even though they are all weird and different songs (I guess that's what's cohesive about it).  I think kiss me was an album made when they knew they could do a Varity of things well.

It's my pick and I'm torn between two albums for next week.

Head over to the Forum Album Club thread to vote. I'm going to rely on you fine folks to help me with the verdict.

IF ONLY TONIGHT WE COULD SLEEEEEP, IN A BED MADE OF FLOWERS!!! This is what I mean by tbe Psychedelic Cure that I love.

OH MY GOD....this.....i used to listen to this (cassette) over and over and over at nite, and usually fall asleep to it.............
The Cure has always been a band that I definitely need to be in the right mood and mindset for, but this album alway works for me. 
Sorry, is this a private club?

You could join us Trish!  :)

Got a late start on this and it's a long album, will have to continue with this in the next few days. I've always liked The Cure songs I knew from the radio, but never took the time to get to know them more.

   I know what you mean, I hate the radio, it's NEVER a good way to get to know a band.  It's just always a bend for great bands, and a suction for shitty ones

I just read that Porl isn't in the band again! That sucks!
