The Cure - Pornography 2016 Reissue / Black Vinyl $26.49 Delivered @ Rarewaves-Outlet (UK) eBay

200

More than 10 copies available at time of posting.

One of the bleakest sounding albums recorded, and also one of their best. Here's a blurb from the eBay store:

Ranked #24 in The NME "Top 30 Heartbreak Albums" - "…Fueled by LSD, it is a dense, unrelenting wall of ugly noise…", 5 stars out of 5 - "Smith's unearthed demos and live tracks from this period do not prepare you for the pure shock and awe of PORNOGRAPHY. Even today, nothing can.", 4 stars out of 5 - "This goth milestone brings the heaviness of metal without its clichés. Smith wails, guitars blare and drums pound in an echo-laden maelstrom of decay and loathing…", "A druggy steel-cage match between death-disco drums and tarnished hooks that's somehow still fun to shimmy to.", "Where All Aspiring New-Wavers Go to Study Enunciation.", "The Cure allowed their deep drug and alcohol abuse feed into the seamy tone and the lyrical themes of depression and personal anguish…", Included in Q Magazine's Best Gothic Albums Of All Time - "…something uniquely, irresistibly nasty….It made sense of the abject horror of those mock A levels."

Also the much more accessible Cure album 'The Head On The Door" $26.49 Delivered: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/284993272723

    Black vinyl sounds painful, but I suppose that's what goths like.

  • It has a good beat and you can dance to it - 5 stars.
