Thanks for another article on the Cure, possibly the most important band of the ’80s in that they have covered almost every style of music and that they seem to have control over their work and are willing to sacrifice. It’s a bit disappointing to learn Robert’s most brilliant lyrics (“Figurehead,” “Siamese Twins,” “Faith” and “At Night”) were written on drugs—but at least he’s learned to cut down.

Thanks for another article on the Cure, possibly the most important band of the ’80s in that they have covered almost every style of music and that they seem
to have control over their work and are willing to sacrifice. It’s a bit disappointing to learn Robert’s most brilliant lyrics (“Figurehead,” “Siamese Twins,” “Faith” and “At Night”) were written on drugs—but at least he’s learned to cut down. Trendies who listened to Standing On A Beach, Head On The Door and Kiss Me should also listen to the older stuff; it’s 10 times better.

P.S.: Pornography is the best Cure album, while The Top is the weakest (too many ’shrooms on Robert’s part).
