The Cure are weird. In fact that is part of their appeal. They are outsiders, the forgotten and the lost and so invite that subsection of society. But what makes the band especially weird is that there are many different shades of Cure. The muted greys of Seventeen Seconds, the candy floss pinks of Japanese Whispers through to the deep pained purples of Disintegration. To quote the Cure's frontman Robert Smith: “The music's always reflected to a very large degree, how I am mentally.” They are the only band, Smith also notes, that are routinely perceived as both suicidal and whimsical. All through the 80s, clad in black, smudged with crimson lipstick, they unleashed super-sweet pop (Let's Go To Bed), dour goth (A Forest, The Hanging Garden) and everything in between, loved by both their cult-like fanbase and the music-listening public at large. They played by their own rules. But how did the Cure morph from suicidal oddities to whimsical new-wavers and back again within a decade?

The studio burned down during/shortly after (?) the recording of Disintegration and Robert Smith ran back inside to get the tapes. Like he was saving his child and I am so glad he did.

Whenever I see Robert Smith, I often wonder if he does his own grocery shopping at Aldi like the rest of us here mortals.

You never mention it once, but despite "Love Song" being their most commercially successful, "Pictures of You" is, in my opinion, the most beautiful song ever written. By anyone. Ever.

I love The Cure's lyrics. They are so poetic. It's like listening literature

The cure saved my life when I was in high school. Here was a man singing about an end of all thing joyful and still carrying on and making millions. It gave me hope I will get out of my own valley of tears in one peace.

My mom saw them live in the 80s and I’m so jealous

As good as 'Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me' is, 'Disintegration' is truly their ultimate masterpiece. The title track is perhaps the most scathing and poisonous song about love and love lost that's ever been made.

My Dad finally got to catch them live the same year he died from cancer. We played Pictures of You at his funeral.

Disintegration is a perfect album. 10/10. In the late 90s, my local independent record store racks had the Disintegration CD featuring a hand written sticker on the front saying: “Absolute classic! Just buy it”. So I did and have been grateful ever since

The Cure is a very unique band. They have a fanbase of different music listeners, who prefer different eras of the band, with a few of them truly loving everything they have released. Personally I don't really like their post - Disintegration era (with the exception of some rare tracks and b sides - for some reason a lot of times in their discography the b sides are better from the a sides) but a lot of Cure fans will call me crazy just for stating that!

I am a dyed in the wool Goth fan but love the Cure's more poppy albums as much as their deep dark ones. Long live the Cure.
