Going back to my Album Club MO from this point on
Best Tracks- One Hundred Years, The Hanging Garden
Weakest Tracks- The Figurehead, Pornography
Again another solid album. It starts off like gangbusters and I was prepared to say this is my favorite Cure to date, but then it seems to tail off a little. The theme remains dark and the moodiness adds to the atmosphere. In fairness, the weakest tracks really aren’t that weak though Pornography seems a little, um, avant garde. Overall, their best album since Three Imaginary Boys. Not a ten, but I like it a lot.
8/10 (The Word has spoken
)
