AMAZING!!!!
Pornography was their best, IMO. Probably my favorite of their "pop" albums, but I go back and forth with Disintegration. This album's great because it has a range of different sounds and tastes, from jazz to rock, with ballads and all. I love Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Catch, Torture, Cockatoos, All I Want, Hot Hot Hot, and If Only Tonight We Could Sleep.


Kiss
I really like the length and the tracks go together nicely. This is a pretty good attempt to return to the more raw sound that they used to have.


karaoke anyone?? another eh.. expanded editon
The long awaited deluxe edition, original remasters, or whatever you want to call it has arrived. While i've been listening to the Cure since my first dreary day encounter when all i thought about was sinking slowly into madness. The packaging is great it seems almost like a mini box set with linear notes, (although i've said this again i hate Digipaks, they are rather hard to keep immaculate: why does Rhino feel the need to do away with jewel boxes when doing a remaster??) The album of course Brilliant. What more can you say. It's probably my second favorite since we all know nothing will surpass disintegration as the ultimate album to have ever. With that said, a die hard cure fan will love anything the cure will throw at them, maybe it's just me but i was dissapointed with the second disc. Whilst reading the package you seem to think that you are getting rare demo's and you are. . . to a point. The first nine tracks are intrumentals which they conveniently reveal to you INSIDE the package. Had they put this outside I would have paused and pondered on weather to buy it. It's nice to get a glimpse into the beginning recording process and what the final product sounds like but did they have to do all nine tracks? You actually get three vocal studio rough mixes. Then it closes with 6 live bootlegs. I don't know about you but i hate live versions on expanded editions. To me it's like going to a concert and the band lets the audience sing your favorite songs for them half the time. Don't get me wrong, The Fight, was probably the best cut on the second disc, but you can't help but long for the vocal arrangement on the instrumentals. That would have gave this set five stars. I can only cringe and wait to see what they are going to do with the long awaited disintegration. .


AMAZING re-issue
Since seeing the first three, I'd been waiting to get to "Head on the Door" and "Kiss Me. In this time where everything is being re-issued, re-packaged and re-vamped, it's great to see this release from The Cure. . . "

This set is worth it for a billion different reasons, but, in my opinion, for the one absolute moment of brilliance on here: "A Thousand Hours (alt). " God how I remember nearly 20 years ago, when this first came out, and I was a member of some Cure Fan Club (Other Voices I think it was called) ran out of Norman, Oklahoma. . . I had to rely on such gems on scratchy-recordings and bootlegs, all put on to cassette. . . and the flip side to the "Standing on A Beach" cassette. . . why that was never released as a two-cd set, I'll never know. The other beauty of this era is "Snow in Summer," and especially "Sugar Girl," but you'll have to get "Join the Dots" to go for those. Still. . . . such an incredible time and era of The Cure. Listening to the bonus disc brought it all back again. Can't wait for "Disintegration" next.


One of their finest moments!
One of,if not their most varied release. This album(cd)stands the test of time. From hard rockers like "The Kiss" to giddy numbers like "Catch" to the infectous pop of "Why Cant I Be You" or "Just Like Heaven"on down to the more ethereal Cure-like numbers such as "Like Cockatoos" and "A Thousand Hours",there is something for everyone in this collection.
