okay, picking up where the able dandy left off. you know, this album is really special. everytime i listen to it, all the memories and hopes of last summer come flooding back. the anticipation of seeing them live, coupled with everything i had experienced with them the few months preceeding the show, it was really the best night of my life. somedays it doesn't even seem real. the thing that really gets me on this record is his voice. i didn't use to like how everything sounded, but this record accurately captures how he sounds now, so listening to this is like hearing him live almost, and it just makes me feel all warm and cuddly and fuzzy inside
oh, and i do really like almost every song on here. it's like kiss me^3, its a much better experience hearing it all the way through. esp. the end of the world, its a good contemporary pop song, it really is.

Yep lots of luv'ly Cure memories with this one. Twas my second show and even though it went off with more than it's share of hitches it was still a great experence. The album is great, something new yet familiar. The songs were fresh but still had the unmistakeable Cure feel... Makes me look forward to the next album.

And I think that it must be said that this album was the one that brought the Cure Pack together and that on it's own makes it special!

ahh, good point, cult!!
leo, that experience will stay with you forever- even when you're old and grey! that's so cool...
although 'bloodflowers' had been encouraging, I was still bracing for disappointment when I popped 'the cure' into the car's cd player on the way home from the store... lost, then labyrinth? HOLY SH!T! this was amazing! and it just got better and better- I was giddy the whole way home.
I really love this album- favorites would be labyrinth, us & them, lost, alt.end, and anniversary. like cult said- bring on the next one!

I actually held off on mentioning this album JUST because it was the 'new' one when we all started on here.... like OJ, I was bracing myself for a disappointment too, but lost is such a GREAT way to start an album (like cult said, it was something new yet also something familiar). labyrinth is even better, and anniversary is the best cure song for at least 10 years, if not more! sometimes I love the promise, sometimes it feels a wee bit too long, but at the end of the day the passion was back in roberts voice and the lads playing, it sounded like they CARED again... the fact Us And Them sounded so angry without 'shiver and shake' or 'give me it' type drumming and speed showed a band riding a creative peak, and the fact that they (still!) haven't toured it here in the UK gives me the hope they're actually working on a follow up as we speak...
ps I was also a bit wary of mentioning this one because of all the different versions, but Going Nowhere is one of my favourite Cure songs EVER!

To be honest I got a bit bored of this so haven't listended to it for a while. I'm a very different person to the one that could play Disintegration to death when it came out. I like it more than Bloodflowers though and it was good to see them getting some aclaim again.

I had given this one a break for a bit, but it was really good to come back to... and I wasn't really expecting much from it in the first place, so I think it is a case of this speaking to me now, as opposed to sounding like what they used to sound like...

I haven't listened to it in soo long, but I do love it...every song on it.
It came out at the beginning of my Cure adventure, so it is really special. My life changed completely at that time as well, so I associate it with how great those changes were.
The End of The World was the first song that really, really hooked me. I heard Close To Me first, but it was The End of The World that triggered it all. And watching that video was the first time I saw what Robert looked like. I was surprised (but in a good way). ;D

this cd is just so interesting to me. it's a mix of new and old and just plain noise, weather it's a guitar flying at a drum set or not it sounds da.mn cool. Like it could wake you up as from sleep.

I hadn't played anything as much as disintegration until 'the cure' came along- I played it nonstop for months... almost killed my voice screaming along with 'us & them!' ;D
