As my first album I feel like I’ve been pranked because this is kind of a terrible album. And what a terrible album cover! Most of the music here is not good. The only tracks worth listening to are the one’s with guest vocalists, so tracks 3, 6, 11, 12. This album does not belong on this list (might not even make the top 10,001) and should be removed. Ok I guess I should look forward to tomorrow because it can’t get much worse than this can it?

Oh thank goodness, absolute redemption from yesterday! Here we go straight into one of the great albums of all time! Every song is great with a lot of diversity and the track order works very well. Such great songs and vocal performances! This album is definitely one of my faves from her great catalogue.

Don’t know what happened to the notes I put in here when I listened to this album but I did enjoy it very much. I have not had the chance to listen to the earlier albums by The Cure so I’m glad this came up as I enjoyed it very much. I’m looking forward to hopefully one day sitting down and listening through their catalogue as I think they’re a great band with a distinct sound.

Great album! I haven’t heard this in ages and even then only heard a couple of times so great to listen to it again. Such a great singer and songwriter! …and holy crap, Cheech and Chong are on the last song!

One of those bands I’ve heard of but never got to hear until now. A beautifully plodding, synth supported rock album on the soft and gentle side but with a lot of tasty electric guitar work. Kinda sounds like a mid-80s Canadian folk-rock album or something like that. Definitely want to spin this a few more times as well as listen to more of their catalogue. For now though it doesn’t strike me as necessary listening but who knows after multiple spins?

huh so a second album by The Cure this week… I heard Pornography for the first time this week and loved it! However this one seems a bit under cooked to me but it is interesting how they progressed from this to the aforementioned album. This album still has a very uniquely melancholy sound to it though and the sparse and dry production reveals the starkness of the songs as well as the distinct voice of Robert Smith. A good album and perhaps I’ll learn to love it more upon further spins but for now I would say that I only need one Cure album on this list and that would be Pornography.

Nice! There’s so many great songs on this album! And what a distinct and powerful voice! As is usually the case with these 80s pop albums there’s a few songs that don’t have the same quality as the hits but that makes the hits sound that much more impressive. It was nice to listen to this album again and even though her voice is just out of my range, it sure was fun to sing along and to try to reach some of those notes!

A uniquely distinct band that I only know from the 80s and am unfamiliar with the earlier stuff from the 70s. Nice to hear the beginning of where they evolved their sound from. This album is well recorded and lays out all the quirky songs nicely in the mix. Maybe sounds a bit dry but it sure helps to highlight the great bass lines by Tina Weymouth! I’m enjoying my first spin through this but feels like it will take a few listens to really understand these interesting and creative songs. Makes me wish I was in my early 20s in 1977 and hearing this on college radio and in the nightclubs at the time!
