Title: The Cure Song Election - Bloodflowers
Post by: Whiskers on August 01, 2011, 05:57:34
The election for Wild Mood Swings is over, and now we move on to Bloodflowers!

Again, the rules:
1. Always vote for the song you like the least.
2. After 1 day (more than 24 hours), the song that got the most votes has to go and will be dismissed.
3. Then vote for a song of the updated list you like the least.
4. This will go on until there is only one song left, and that would be the most popular song of Bloodflowers.
5. In case of a changed vote only edit your original vote post for that particular round do not post a new post saying "I change my vote to so and so" - that makes it really difficult to count rounds.

6. In case of a tie, there will be one more day to vote for the songs with equal votes only. The song that gets most voted during that day will win.


These are the songs on Bloodflowers:

1.) Out Of This World
2.) Watching Me Fall
3.) Where The Birds Always Sing
4.) Maybe Someday
5.) The Last Day Of Summer
6.) There Is No If...
7.) The Loudest Sound
8.) 39
9.) Bloodflowers

My first vote goes to "The Loudest Sound"

The top three of Wild Mood Swings (http://curefans.com/albums-and-songs/the-cure-song-election-wild-mood-swings/msg73921/#msg73921):
1.) Want
2.) Jupiter Crash
3.) Bare

Whoops, removed the post. Since this election's been at a standstill for a few days, I'm going to say that if the votes don't change within the next six hours, all three will be eliminated.
Title: Re: The Cure Song Election - Bloodflowers
Post by: Whiskers on August 08, 2011, 06:22:55
I'll change my vote to "There Is No If..." which now takes the 7th place slot

These are the remaining songs on Bloodflowers:

"Out Of This World"
"Watching Me Fall"
"Where The Birds Always Sing"
"Maybe Someday"
"The Last Day Of Summer"
"Bloodflowers"

My vote is still for "Where The Birds Always Sing." Why isn't anyone voting in this election?

When we think back to "Out Of This World" taking the 3rd place slot, I wonder will we really remember how it feels like this and how

These are the remaining songs on Bloodflowers:

"The Last Day Of Summer"
"Bloodflowers"

As per usual, since this is the last round, I wonder what everyone's thoughts on Bloodflowers is? I know a lot of fans refer to it as "the last great Cure album," but I think that it falls short in some places; it starts out strong, ends strong (enough), but kind of falters in the middle a bit. That isn't to knock it; "Watching Me Fall," lyrically, is probably my favorite song by The Cure, but "Where The Birds Always Sing" and "There Is No If..." are incredibly mediocre and just feel like filler to me. Overall, though, it's a nice conclusion to Robert Smith's "trilogy," and the album that best shows off the skill that Jason Cooper has (unfortunately, he has yet to show that skill on any other album he's played on by the band).

Oh, and my vote is still for "Bloodflowers"

I have the Colombian edition of "Bloodflowers" in a CD, a gift from a past girlfriend. I think it's an awesome album, and definitely, in my humble opinion, the best after "Wish". I wish it included "Want", though, as I think it's better than any song on Bloodflowers. I agree there are some weak songs, but not awful (as 'Freak Show' on 4:13 Dream).

The song "Bloodflowers" reamins my favourite. This is related to my experience in Hamburg 2002, the first time I saw The Cure. I will never forget Robert saying "this is the last song" and then playing this one. Based on this, my vote is for "The Last Day of Summer"
Title: Re: The Cure Song Election - Bloodflowers
Post by: Whiskers on August 18, 2011, 19:58:50
"The last Day Of Summer" never felt so cold as it takes the 2nd place slot, making "Bloodflowers" the most popular song on Bloodflowers!


9.) 39
8.) The Loudest Sound
7.) There Is No If...
6.) Where The Birds Always Sing
5.)  Watching Me Fall
4.) Maybe Someday
3.) Out Of This World
2.) The Last Day Of Summer
1.) Bloodflowers

Up next... The Cure!

I find this album fairly monotonous with a few very good songs (Lat Day of Summer, Bloodflowers) I hold to the opinion that Wish is the last great album...
