Red Rain feels like an end credits freeze frame from an 80s movie where the Main Character is walking down the center of the road in the rain and jumps with their legs in the air as the credits roll. Not bad, very 80s.
Sledgehammer is a designated "Walking" song. If I lived in NYC I would totally walk, sandwich in hand, listening to this song - and love every bit of it.
Don't Give Up- makes me want to give it all up. I feel like this song would go hard if I was Christian, but alas I am not.
That Voice Again-utterly 80s, background music for me.
Mercy Street-No Mercy for Mercy Street (I don't like melancholic/slow 80s songs.) Give me that sweet sweet juicy nectar of synthesizers, electronic instruments, catchy melodies and even catchier back-up vocalists this is what I breathe.
Big Time- Did exactly what I asked for when I started listening to this album. Gave me zazz, gave me exaggerated 80sness, gave me life.
We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)-This song is peak existentialism, and I'm here for it. BUT NOT after the song 'Big Time' you're really sending me into a thought provoking orbit after making me listen to "BIG TIME!" get a grip. no.
This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds)-Is a nice song to play if you're doing something that does require your attention.
In Your Eyes- Is giving your local Church's 'concert' Friday. Once you get over that obstacle, the song is pretty enjoyable.
TLDR:
Red Rain-YES
Sledgehammer-YES
Don't Give Up-NO
That Voice Again-YES
Mercy Street-NO
Big Time-YES
We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)-NO
This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds)-YES
In Your Eyes-YES
Pile of bones- nice and edgy
Damn that river-“you piss upon my candle”
Rain When I Die-edgy and nice
Down in a Hole- I zoned out
Sickman-I’m starting to get sick of this music, man
Rooster- hell yeah I would watch the Super Bowl while downing Budweisers to this song
Junkhead-yeah
Dirt-yeah
God Smack-yeah
Untitled-yeah
Angry Chair-A good song for people who don’t like this genre
Would I-An excellent song to round off the album
My Top 3:
1-Would I
2-Rain When I Die
3-Rooster
Mojo Pin- this is giving Radiohead
Grace-yeah
Last Goodbye- mood
Lilac Wine- A slow song but still very good
So Real-yeah
Hallelujah-a chill cover, he has a good voice
Lover, You Should’ve Come Over-yeah
Corpus Christi Carol-nah
Eternal Life-banger
Dream Brother- I like the backing sound
Forget Her-sadgeness but good
My Top 3:
1. Eternal Life
2. So Real
3. Mojo Pin/Dream Brother
I was already familiar with this album but hadn't listened to it through yet.
Genesis- reminds me of a daft punk song, a nice refreshing beat
Let There Be Light- not a fan, beat is repetitive and feels like it builds up to nothing new or pleasing to listen/follow along to
D.A.N.C.E- Already familiar with this song, love it, love the upbeat backing track and nod to Michael Jackson
Newjack- classic techno beat can zone out/do art to
Phantom- banger, nice electronic sounds, easy to put on in background and vibe
Phantom II- a really good listen when paired with Phantom, similar song a bit more of a build up that continues from previous song, has more different instruments/additions to this song over Phantom.
Valentine- farrrr forgettable
The Party-nice sample, lyrics and back track
DVNO- already knew this song, I really like the bridge/chorus
Stress- another hype techno instrumental
Waters of Nazareth- ye is okay
One Minute to Midnight- a good chill song to end on, upbeat and still fitting with the rest of the album's style
Top 3:
1-D.A.N.C.E
2-The Party/DVNO
3-Phantom II/One Minute to Midnight
Rating a 2 because I think there are better albums equivalent to Cross' genre. But there are some nice songs in here, especially the ones that aren't just instrumentals.
1-Black Mirror
I really love the sound of the occasional piano chords in the background in this song. The change to female vocals and then back to male vocals in the song is really well done, keeps the song fresh and not repetitive.
2-Keep The Car Running
This song screams “walk of shame” to me, I can imagine coming home from the club and listening to this song, good song for the right circumstances.
3-Neon Bible
Not my favourite so far in this album but is also a nice song for melancholy moods.
7- The Well and The Lighthouse
This song feels like what a daydream is
8-(Antichrist Television Blues)
This song really suits the lead’s voice, the guitar and drums really brings out the rock genre that suits the lead vocals. Not a huge fan of the subject matter/lyrics but has definitely trumped tracks 4,5,6 in this album.
10- No Cars Go
The instrumental with the bass guitar at around ~2:10 and ~3:00 is a nice listen and really redeems the song for me, definitely one of my favourites from this album.
11-My Body Is A Cage
Really grandiose instrumentals on this song, very theological. This is like if Radiohead were Christian, and it works super well.
———————————————————————
4-Intervention
Really didn’t like the heavy church elements in this song (orphan, bells) When the song picked up to chorus I started to like this song, but then I didn’t- it’s too “Whiney” for me, this is possibly due to the monotonous nature of the vocals in this track and how it feels like there is no “build up” or variety in the melody(?)
5- Black Wave/Bad Vibrations
Song started off good, reminded me of the B-52s, but then it got too “Whiney” for me again
6-Ocean of Noise
I would love this if I actually liked the lead singer’s voice. I like the background music but not his voice (I think his voice lacks personality and distinction.)
9- Windowsill
Had to skip this song, I don’t like the first 2 minutes of it, after that when it picks up it does get better but I can’t add this song to my playlist if I can’t stand to hear the first two minutes. I don’t like the repetitive nature of the lyrics (“I don’t” x50) not my style.
My Top 3:
My Body is A Cage
Black Mirror
No Cars Go
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1- If I Should Fall from Grace with God
Not a fan of folk music and especially folk music where I don't understand what is being said (I have a feeling I will be saying this about most songs in this album)
2- Turkish Song of the Damned
Definitely a better song than its predecessor, a lot better, but not good enough to warrant me adding it to my playlist
3- Bottle of Smoke
I love the YEEEEWWWWW (all these songs sound the same to me)
4- Fairytale of New York
THEY SAID THE F WORD!!! (the gay one) that's all I remembered about this song
5- Metropolis
no
6- Thousands Are Sailing
no
7-Fiesta
no
I CBA LISTENING ANYMORE I DONT LIKE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC SORRY IRISH PEOPLE
TOP 3:
NOOOO
1- Plainsong
Great start to the song and album, grand, eccentric, magical, EXSISTENTIAL.
2- Pictures of You
I already loved this song, (one of my favourite The Cure songs) this is perfection, can listen in any mood
3- Closedown
love the drums in song, electric piano and guitar it all creates a big mystical sound.
4- Lovesong
A classic
5- Last Dance
A good song but definitely slips for me compared to the prev. songs
6-Lullaby
One of my favourite the cure songs before listening to this album through and through, will always love this song my go-to for afternoon/hungover showers
7- Fascination Street
banger
8- Prayers For Rain
Sitting on the floor in shower vibes
9- The Same Deep Water As You
Long banger
10- Disintegration
How it be.. disintegration
11- Homesick
banger
12- Untitled
banger
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Top 3:
1-Pictures of you
2-Lullaby
3-Lovesong
I have only listened to this and 'Three Imaginary Boys' fully and I can say without doubt that I utterly ADORE both of these albums and that I don't dislike any of these songs- *except for one song on Three Imaginary Boys

A nice surprise very chill very swag
I get a bad taste in my mouth now when I see the names Young, Nash, Stills & Crosby. Okay it wasn’t THAT bad, the guitar is nice I hate the yeehaw america *eagle noises* vibes
I only enjoyed
-Roadhouse Blues
-Waiting for the Sun
-Peace frog
Rest are misses.
She ate this so hard and she knows it
Enjoyed reading the wiki on this album, enjoyed the hip hop more
Was good but really fell off at the end of the album
Enjoyed aspects of it but just missed the mark for me.. a bit too experimental
Not a huge metal fan but this wasn’t too shabby
I will never forget the summer when I first listened to this album
ALL BANGERS (First time listen, was already a fan of the song ‘Wish you were Here’)
i forgot what went on here
not my taste but actually not bad- 1st song added to my playlist
songs were alright but like not memorable
first time listen of this one, i enjoyed it alot though some of the songs started to sound the same
Love British music they don’t know how to cook food but they cooked on this
Don’t listen to this if you have budget headphones
I listen to this all the time in my car with my CD player. I don't skip any of the songs though there are a few that aren't held to the same standard as others. Thriller is one of the best songs of all time though.
listened to this album through before doing the 1001 albums, and it is a staple of this generation however there is great and there is shit amongst them
extended souvenir is laced with crack
I listened to this while playing 'chained together' with my bro, lest we say this was not a good song choice for jumping through the pits of Hell. However I am a madonna fan (the girlies know)
Speakerboxx got some bangers liked 90% of them. Love below got the popular Roses and Hey ya but apart from that most on that disc were misses for me.
Indie Country my favourite 🤢🤢
I have a soft spot for 50s music due to my love of the fallout video games
I don't like country idk if this is country but its same vibes also its very American core and I'm not a fan of that unless its Lana del ray Americana core
I get it.. there is some car wheels on a gravel road I heard you the first time and the second and the 38th
only listened to 4 songs, it’s giving Beck if he was art pop and picked up the electric guitar.
im a sucker for a good guitarist and the 60s style drumming
and if a double decker bus 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ ‼️
goated, enjoyed all songs Layla will always be a hit for me. However is the type of music you can get sick of.
Usually I dont fw this sorta music, i like rap but 00s hip hop can really be hit or miss. But DAMN this is good.
sorry amy I don’t fw the vocals but the song back to black is a BANGER
I don’t like Johnny cash, this wasn’t that bad but none of the songs I would Listen to again
I’m a sucker for the electric guitar
wth that last track was a jumpscare. srsly though this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.. I remember singing 'Let Me Entertain You' on Singstar as a kid :))
RAUUURRRRWW 🗣️ 🗣️ 🐺 🐺‼️
(From L.A Blues)
Prefer funhouse but still aight (I got 2 Stooge albums in a row)
I knew of this album but never listened to it but DAMN. This is PEAK.
Only 1 song I really rate, others weren't bad but just reminded me of Highschool ...
Have to be in a mood for it which I think would be rare. Good background but gets annoying after awhile.
It may be bri'ish but it doesn't hit like blur 😔
Bonus track (Bonus track)
BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE!!
pretty chill first song is a banger
Yellow is good some of it is not bad but not good
radiohead radiohead radiohead
Was good but then got too nasally and whiny
joy division enjoyers creaming rn
biased opinion, I love David Bowie
Good but I wouldn’t purposely put it on has to be certain mood for this
It’s just metallic it’s good
First two songs were really good but fell off after that
rlly thought black sabbath did metal
YESSS love chemical bros not my fave album tho
vibey. I polished glasses to this would recommend.
Traffic? More like, I want to step into oncoming traffic. Kidding kidding it wasn’t that bad
