There cover of Foxy Lady, Gone, Mint Car, Lullaby, n Killing An Arab.


I still like those songs ( I don't hate any Cure songs) but these are just okay to me, n I like em the least.

Ulrich

"Coming Up" (bonus track on some of the "Bloodflowers" versions) is one I never really warmed to.

The 13 th is the one i dislike more probably. Sure there may be a few others, but that one... Well, i can't listen to it and finish it

Let's go to bed

In between days, the album version doesn't seem to grow on me but the other day I found this version with Jonathan Davis and I love this one https://youtu.be/-d1lQxreiFQ

My top five...or should I say, ,my bottom five of Cure songs ever would be:

1. Freakshow (worst Cure song ever)
2. Wrong Number
3. Round & Round & Round
4. The Perfect Girl
5. Gone!

I still can't understand why "Wrong Number" is played live always and why "Freakshow" was ever played live at all :roll:

Pick 5 random songs from Wild Mood Swings, don't really care which ones.

haha don't be mean. "Want" is wonderful and a great opening song and "Mint Car" is a nice pop-song.

There's one that evokes a strong negative reaction for me:
The Only One

...I find the lyrics and the way it's sung quite distasteful, and lacking depth or truth.

* I suspect/hope though that they're not actually that shallow, and maybe it's an 'upside down' way of conveying meaning, like Bowie has done
"Where the flesh meets the spirit world,
Where the traffic is thin..."

I would say, hmmmmmm


Foxy Lady (Cover)


Killing An Arab

Ok it is a few months later since I have stated that I dislike 'In between days' but I have come to like it now and every time I hear it I think about this comment that I once wrote here not liking this song..
So I am taking it back. I like 'In between days'!

Some time ago I have read an analysis of 'Let's go to bed' on this site and I am listening to this song in a different way since then..and it now is growing on me too.

No changes yet as far as 'Screw' is concerned though.

Sleep When I'm Dead always sounded too "theatrical" for my tastes. "It's Over" just sounds like a missed opportunity. But I can't think of anything by The Cure that I would skip over besides those two songs. (I don't like the way 4:13 Dream *sounds* but that has more to do with the awful mastering and mixing.)
But it's much too late you say
For doing this now
We should have done it then
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go

The 13th.

I abhor it. I couldn't believe my ears.

One thing is Kyoto Song, If Only Tonight We Could Sleep, The Lovecats, The Blood, or Wailing Wall.
The 13th was on another, less important league.

That song alone de-Cured me for a good ten years!!

Strange Attraction is not very far, either.

I'll never understand Wild Mood Swings.
Some stuff in it is quite good, others are just okay, while other stuff in it is utter dross.

Gotta say, The 13th doesn't do anything for me either - makes me feel like I'm being chased down by a horde of animated Hawaiian shirts.  I'm sure though that people from some cultural backgrounds will find this really appealing - and it's not a bad thing to cater for different tastes like this.  You'll always be annoying somebody by doing so, but this could be a bonus.  :evil:

you know, it's a difficult question, because I haven't heard ALL of their songs to evaluate it like, but still there are a couple of songs that I look at a little bewildered

at first
"Club America"
everything would be fine, but Robert's voice... definitely not, why does he sing like that, it scares me ahah :1f62d:  :1f62d:  :1f62d:
too weird for me

then I thought that for the classics you need to choose something from 4 13 dream (sorry ahah)and you will be surprised, this is not a"freakshow", by the way I really like it;)
its "This.here and now.with you"
I never liked the beginning when I decided to listen for the first time
well... I just turned it off, and in some moments it all sounds like that.. crooked? Don't know.. but I don't hate this song, I just never listen to it

also i want to say something about "never enough" but i dont hate this song i love it but there is one little story... when I decided to listen to it for the first time, I immediately turned it off and decided never to listen to it again.. because I was confused by the sounds of Robert at the beginning, yes
without those um freaky um sounds the song is really good


Oh, and I'll also tell you my first impressions about the 13th

so, I see this clip for the first time and I think "what the f*ck, is this a joke clip or what, what is going on AAAHHGG??!"
well, that was very strange.
but, I caught this special playful, cheeky mood of the song ... and I like to listen to it, I think for the sake of the chorus or something like that ..

haha, in the end it turned out that I don't want to throw away any songs of the cure,I don't hate any of them, I definitely like them all in the end XD
I don't have the right to judge Robert's creation so rudely,you know


ps:sorry for my bad english, in fact, I mostly use a translator and try to write something myself ... because I don't know English at all (!)
and it seems to me at some points it looks crooked and uncomfortable to read ahh ... but at least it seems so to me

teach me how to swim at the same deep water as you

I've noticed a trend that everyone hates freakshows and the 13th.. I wonder why? I like them, I sometimes get in the mood to listen to such songs... a little dirty, which playfully look at you, a little crazy, shrill and sassy... in short, explain why you don't like them, I consider these songs rather not from a musical point of view, but from the point of view of mood and atmosphere
that's it
teach me how to swim at the same deep water as you

Ulrich

Currently I'm not too fond of most of the stuff on "Three Imaginary Boys" (including the demos and rarities on the 2-disc reissue). Just doesn't "ring the bell" with me these days.

Me too. I guess I like them because they're "different" to most other Cure songs - which might be the reason why many other fans hate these 2.
