yes! It is underrated.
I just believe ...Salvador,<br /><br />yes! It is underrated. <br />I just believe it's sometimes about where you come from (before or after Disintegration).<br /><br />I was no huge cure fan and I knew some people that told me "the cure" was making shitty music after the early 80's. I was young, I believed them (only knew 3IB,17s(loved that as a kid), Standing on the beach, and HOTD).<br /><br />In 2000 (I was about 15 years) I saw "Bloodflowers" in some newspaper advert and I thought uhh, sounds kinda ...dark...<br />I don't know why. But I asked my dad to drive me to some local music store (such as do not exist anymore these days thx to the internet) and I bought a copy. I went to my brother and we started listening to it, and damn I had never ever heard something like it. Ootw blown me away already. Yeah that was it. I bought all their records, my first cure concert was the Brussels Trilogy Show, amazing eh. I bought all those bootlegs, man I left so much money in the following two years. <br />Me and my Bro became huge fans and a lot of my friends were obsessed after I played the cure to them, too.<br /><br />Long text, little to say. For me it was easier to get into WMS, because it was something already done. I had no expactations. I think I can understand it was hard for some fans to come from Disintegration and then arrive on "Friday". Must have been weird. Ha.<br /><br />But my point now is: Just wait what they will do. You will like it, even if maybe not on first listen...HombreLobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627348902354207680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-15080026862855640352012-03-27T04:53:14.538-05:002012-03-27T04:53:14.538-05:00When WMS came out, i was 16 years old, i bought th...When WMS came out, i was 16 years old, i bought the album the day it came out, it was a cassette. I remember my first listening, actually it was the first album i ever bought, i stole Disintegration, Standing on a beach, and a friend gave me the Wish album, but WMS WAS MY FIRST ONE. I must admit that i was expecting WISH part two, because i thought bands like Blur, Radiohead, Pumpkins, etc, sounded like that. I soon notice the difference and was a little bit disappointed because i was i really screw up teen and wanted something really heavy, but, i was still listening the album for the first time when i realized that it was totally different from everybody else and once again The Cure provided me with and alternative from a lot of the crap from the 90's. I felt in love with that album, Jupiter crash it's one of their best songs ever. I've always look for new and different bands and in 1996 The Cure were apart from everyone else. <br /><br />I wanted to share a little bit of my experience with that album, it is so underrated. Bloodflowers was even a better journey. I was on my way home on the bus, February 15, with my fresh CD and was scare of dying before getting to my room to listen to the album.

I didn't think so on release, cause i was still into that Bloodflowers sound so much. But yeah, Anniversary and Going Nowhere are one of my absoute favs now. And just like I mentioned somwhere before. The 2004 B-Sides are really superb. <br /><br />And I loved how "4:13 Dream" had it's own kinda flow - like speeding up to the end. Though I would love to hear the rest of the songs and would have preffered that double album too. <br />And I don't get why so many fans where complaining about "freakshow". It is so ...funky and has funny lyrics. My girlfriend always starts dancing when we listen to it. <br />(though I must say I prefer RS kinda dance like he was waving his arms and standing on one leg, I laughed so loud as I saw that live)HombreLobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627348902354207680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-29499191807938447912012-03-27T03:45:56.760-05:002012-03-27T03:45:56.760-05:00JJ606 - Numb, Trap, Anniversary, Alt.End - these a...JJ606 - Numb, Trap, Anniversary, Alt.End - these are all fine songs to me, but each to their own.<br /><br />as i've mentioned before if wms & 4:13 had 9 or 10 tracks they could have been very goodfatpie1664https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563301501190140123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-90021634329293732642012-03-27T03:40:41.995-05:002012-03-27T03:40:41.995-05:00'r&r&r' is the worst cure song of ...'r&r&r' is the worst cure song of all time - it's simply awful, 'the only one' is also lame. was never a fan of 'high' either, but there you go.<br /><br />i would have gone for 'it's over' off 4:13 - great great song.fatpie1664https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563301501190140123noreply@blogger.com
