Been recently revisiting The Head On The Door - noticing all manner of little Joy Division-isms that i'd not heard before (probably as a result of listening to very little except "Closer" last week). The Cure have that problem - with me - of being way too evocative of a specific time and place for me to be entirely at ease listening to them. Ghosts of past regrets - as Bob Smith would doubtlessly put it.

Still; there's no getting away from how amazing Faith and Disintegration are... rich and deep and luxurious. And the poppy stuff is far lovelier than it's given credit for. Tracks like "Six Different Ways" and "Close To Me", which are amazingly infectious and seem - to me - to be borrowing a lot from Talking Heads (but that's probably just me being influenced by the prism through which i view the world again). So yeah - "Yay! The Cure" i say... and i feel a review of "Head On The Door" coming on. . . . . . .
