Pornography is my favorite Cure album. Every song on it is peerless. There are no words to explain how great The Cure were at this point in their long career. They were at the height of their powers, even more so than during Disintegration-and that's another classic, but nowhere near as powerful as this one.
24 seconds into "Short Term Effect" and you feel like the chasms of the universe have swallowed you.. but in a beautifully sad way.. that's the power of the whole album. Amazing. I first fell in love with the album about TWENTY years ago! I can hardly believe it! And just tonight I had to buy Pornography on itunes because I missed it and wanted to return to that place. Sigh.
I love this song...The distorted guitars, the jumpy drum machine...The lyrics are so nihalistic, it really conveys the angst people get in their youth.
I listened to this album for almost all of my spare time for about a year when it was released. I swear i almost wore it through. Random. Never heard one better since.
"A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water...thrashing in the water!" Don't know why but I like that lyric in this song! It sounds a bit poetic, and I like the intensity in which he sang it!
The Cure forever <3 I hope they'll keep playing and making music for a long time in the future...This song is definitely one of my favs
