The Cure! (Sorry in advance, hahahaha)
I will stick to the 13 studio albums, otherwise thisād get silly. (I lied, it will be silly anyway.)
13. Wild Mood Swings - I <3 all fans who <3 this record but it vexes me. Cut like five tracks and it would be brilliant. āWantā and āBareā and āJupiter Crashā are some of the greatest Cure songs ever. I can appreciate the utter nucking futs nature of āThe 13thā on a purely intellectual level (and the video is great) but when I hear it, Iām just like āWHYā
12. Three Imaginary Boys - Iād put theĀ Boys Donāt CryĀ variant higher but generally, while most songs on here are awesome, I donāt have a deep, almost pathological emotional investment in most of them so it lands here.
11. The Cure - fuck nu metal producers bro this could have sounded so much better
10. 4:13 Dream - āUnderneath the Starsā is better than 99% of their classics that everyone reveres and people need to wake up to this fact. This album really gets rolling during the first five songs and I adore it, thenĀ āThe Real Snow Whiteā puts me off for some reason, and some other songs sound a bit half-baked, and wtf is that sound engineering where is the bass
9. The Top - i feel so queasy and iām not the one on the shrooms brobert chill please, go kiss simon and itāll be ok again i promise
8. Bloodflowers - it sounds just a bit samey (which is why I understand WMS and appreciate that it would be too easy for this band to make an endless number of mopey sad albums), e.g. āWhere the Birds Always Singā has some of the best lyrics but the music just sits there. (everything from here on out is basically #1)
7. Wish - minus āWendy Timeā it is heavenly perfection to me.
6. The Head On the Door - i donāt have any reasons for not putting this higher, iām just blindly throwing small integers at albums at this point
5. Seventeen Seconds - this album is a slightly bratty fae dragging me into the dark by my wrists but iām going willingly anyway, iām utterly seduced
4. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me - AHH MY LARGE SON. I donāt likeĀ āFightā but this record is such a fucking trip, thereās nothing they canāt do, theyāre invincible, theyāre on fire, iām on fire
3. Faith - I donāt know how but I love this album more with each passing day. It is a thick grey fog and it engulfs me and keeps me safe. PlusĀ āCarnage VisorsāĀ (ļ½”ā„āæā„ļ½”)
2. Disintegration - i donāt feel the need to explain
1. Pornography - time was when it was too much for me (and the title track is stillā¦ a lot) but right now itās everything.
