An essential recording.
This album will always be closest to my heart. For cure fans, cure haters, and those who have never heard the cure. Their follow up is better, but I will always love Bloodflowers the most. It is also the first Cure I ever heard, followed by pornography, and then disintegration. Neither of those albums are nearly this good.

Find it, and add it to your collection. Even as the only cure album in your collection, rest assured you have the one you need.


The untalented rants of depressed 11-year olds, I mean another worthy installment of The Cure!
So I borrowed this album from my brother to try it out for myself, quite hopeful that I had been pointed in the right direction. It seemed that my tastes in music always pointed to The Cure, 'If you like Depeche Mode, you'll LOVE The Cure!' or 'David Bowie fan? Try the Cure!'.

Each of the 9 tracks sound exremely similiar, some are pretty lengthy, and when you have crap music and dull nonsense spewed over and over an 11-minute time frame you'll definitely find something to get depressed about, though probably not in the way The Cure had intended, but more like how you spent money on a junk record that any garage band made up of children who write 'deep' poetry about how no one understands them.

Depressing 'she loved me but I guess not'-type lyrics not only annoy and degrade the listener, they JUST AREN'T INTERESTING! Take the song Bloodflowers, for instance; the first verse goes like 'bla bla bla forever he said' followed by a verse of 'bla bla bla never she said'. Wow, see how clever that is? And the rest of the album, take my word for it, is very much the same.

And then there's the music, the awful gut-wrenching music. Each track has basically the same tempo, same instrumentation, and practically the same f***ing melody throughout. And Smith's vocals don't stray far from his usual forray of a whining dog. And I don't understand at all how people can say his voice is sexy. And I was so insulted when people compared The Cure to Depeche Mode, considering that one of the songs on this album, can't remember which, sounds like a complete rip-off of a song on DM's Ultra album, that'd come out a few years earlier. Yes, I do think The Cure is a bunch of no-talents trying to keep up with all the kids out there.

Maybe I am being hard on this band; afterall this is almost all of what I've ever heard of this group, but I don't dare waste time/money on them, and I'm thankful that I only borrowed this CD.


...listen once, then...
Christmas 2008 gift card, hmmm, Bloodflowers (remember this from somewheres. ). Listen to this just once, try to get past track 2 -try it. This isn't a review of the album. Just a thank you to whomever was involved in the production of this little gem of luvliness. As a humanimal occupying the same space-time continuum, thanks. In the same league as Ella, Billie Holiday w/synths and fuzzy guitars. For aspiring musicians: Buddy Holly>Cure>you(?). The most upbeat, swirrlii bit you will ever want. Thanks again.


Essential.
Smith, this one's yet remains as my personal favourite from the whole Cure's catalog. Perhaps one of the less (if not the least) pop album from Mr.

The entire album sounds like if it was expressing different nuances from the same song, almost like a winter-mood symphony.

As sad as powerful, the sound and the atmosphere built on every song is simply overwhelming.

Quite an essential state-of-the-art piece for any commited Cure fan, as well as for any newcomer.


Essential
This is definitely one of The Cure's best albums. If you enjoyed disintegration, Bloodflowers is a must. .
