It's between "The Funeral Party" and "Faith," so I voted for the former, to show the love for it in the polls.

all cats are grey

i like the way it sounds, almost ambient, feels like simon plays in the coffin, the sound of his bassguitar is dull but at the same time full and vivid.

i can never believe 17 seconds and faith were recorded in 1980-81. no one sounded so clear, full and 'near' at that time, including expensive poprock artists. mile hedges rules!

all cats are grey
(drowning in a sea of stones)

(from a higher up than heaven
and a harder down than stone)

and also: 'the drowning man' and 'faith'

I voted for Faith, but i love the all album which is one of my favourite with... Seventeen Seconds and Pornography.
Maybe it is because i undestood, the first time i heard it, that i didn't have faith... in this album all the lyrics mean something to me

Faith. It?s my all time favourite Cure song.

Anyway, the whole album is great... if it weren?t for Faith it would be really hard to pick one best song.

I really love the whole album, it's so hard picking just one song caus it's like all the songs are tightly connected to each other.

But I picked drowning man...As I had to pick just one and because it's my absolute favourite cure song at this moment.

Choosing between All Cats and Faith is like impossible. I pick Faith only because the live versions of it on Festival 2005 and the Deluxe Edition kick so much ass.
Title: Re: Best of: Faith
Post by: Bloodflower on March 01, 2007, 05:39:55
"There's nothing left..."

"Faith," definitely. I prefer the 4Play version, though.

And "The Drowning Man" is f*cking incredible too. So painful.

"Oh, Fuchsia!"

other voices.

but much like all of the other albums, it's way too hard to pick... everything on this one is great. :D

Post by: robiola on February 08, 2008, 09:54:25
I have looked at this poll more than once in the past and thought "Mmh, I'll vote next time, maybe."
Well, it's time I admitted that I'm never going to be able to choose. Maybe if someone pointed a gun to my head I'd be able to blurt out a title -- one time it might be Faith, the next time Doubt, or All Cats are Grey, or..... you get my drift. This is my favorite Cure album, it's pure beauty from start to finish for me, with the possible exception of Primary which I like just a little bit less than the others.
So, no vote this time. :smth020
Title: Re: Best of: Faith
Post by: billee on February 08, 2008, 10:21:23
Very hard to pick one. Jumping between All Cats Are Grey and The Drowning Man. The latter wins by the smallest of margins. :D

Primary for me...
It was my first encounter with The Cure and the song that started it for me.  I still remember seeing the video for the first time 25+ years ago, being completely blown away and thinking "who is this?"  Still one of the best basslines ever and probably still my favourite song ever....

"The Drowning Man" This song has incredible atmospheric feeling. just beautiful...

I can't believe that I asked for these polls to be re-opened... and failed to vote in some  ... I am soo ashamed...  :smth011
Anyway my all-time fav goes to Primary.. i agree with sues777.. the bassline pulls me in every time.. Faith ain't too bad either!  :smth023

It's a tie with Primary and All Cats Are Gray.

Faith, because of the beautiful lyrics :)
I also love the drowning man, all cats are grey and primary.

Post by: lordsquidy13 on February 18, 2008, 16:30:23
Primary is my favorite with the chanting lyrics (The further we go and older we go, the more we know the less we show."

2nd- Other Voices
3rd- The Drowning Man

Post by: sonic on February 19, 2008, 13:44:51
I love the whole album, except Primary, which is not as great as the rest.
I voted for All Cats Are Grey, because I like the melancholy atmosphere.
But I love all the other songs as much.
Title: Re: Best of: Faith
Post by: Carnage Visor on February 21, 2008, 04:01:11
I'm going to be an outcast and say "OTHER VOICES" because I like the bassline and tune, and the way Robert sings it.

Plus, they just look so dang cool in the video!  ;)

"Faith" it is.
Although again, I could chose almost any other track on the album, except "Doubt" (a good "punky" song, but just not on the same level as the others) and "The Funeral Party" (a very good slow atmospheric song, but a little short of "masterpiece" status).
Title: Re: Best of: Faith
Post by: Trust... on February 11, 2010, 14:20:49
I never saw this topic before?
My favourit album, so it's great from the first second until the last ...

But if I need to choose ...

The Drowning Man - becaus off the whole athmosphere ... and Oh I wish I can hear this song live ... somewhere in the future ...

All Cats are Grey. I´ll choose that song a hundred times out of hundred.

Post by: Whiskers on February 13, 2010, 12:41:44
The Drowning Man. I love the percussion, the ambiance of it, the somewhat frantic-sounding guitar, and the lyrics bring up a feeling of dread that hasn't been matched since by the band.
Title: Re: Best of: Faith
Post by: othervoices13 on February 13, 2010, 13:36:39
PRIMARY may be a perfect Cure song...great bass line, upbeat but with somewhat dark, melancholy lyrics.

Other Voices is close second.

i agree, but i think i prefer other voices.

in my opinion, some of the rest of the album is... (dare i say it?) a little boring.  i don't think there's enough melody in it for me.  i really can't the drowning man is a favorite, or even faith.

but it's probably just my mood today.  my opinion on the album fluctuates a lot.

Post by: dsanchez on February 14, 2010, 23:28:08
"All cats are grey" without a doubt. I always liked the keyboards at the beginning (like in a church or something) and the percusion and the unforgettable lyrics "I never thought I could find myself". I don't think I need to say something more. The best of "Faith" for me.

This is my absolute favorite Cure album, not a bad song here. This is their gloomiest, most atmospheric album I think. My favorite is The Holy Hour, followed by Primary, All Cats Are Grey, The Funeral Party, Other Voices, Faith, The Drowning Man, Doubt.

01 Faith (calm, cold and beautiful)
02 Doubt (anger, fear, and amazing speed. I don't undestand why is so underrated.)
03 The Drowning Man (cold and beautiful again. Oh Fuchsia! In Szeged, 2005, this song was my biggest favourite. You can see it in Festival 2005 DVD).
Title: Re: Best of: Faith
Post by: MeltingMan on August 03, 2014, 11:55:12
01 The Holy Hour (the bass line and bell sound, great)
02 Other Voices (feeling of deep sorrow, but not despaired, the percussion,the flute...well done)
03 Primary (only the third place because it's a well known and beloved live track)  ;)
