Even that NME Pornography bashing (how does it go... "Seldom have three young people achieved so little with such panache" or something?)

Actually, I have to correct this. The piece of criticism I was referring to is from Steve Sutherland of Melody Maker and is about the Pornography TOUR (not the album). It goes like this:

"Seldom have three young people in pursuit of a clutch of aimless atmospheres achieved so little with such panache".

And he goes on: "The Cure – that's a joke. More like a symptom."

And he describes the Cure as "three updated Al Stewart bedsitter boy students squeezing their pimples and translating Camus prose into Shelleyan stanzas".



(All these quotes can be found in the 'Never Enough' biography).
