What album did they jump the shark for you?

 

I think they are still good. I like all of their albums, even St. Anger to a degree.

I know but I still had to give opinions on those artists!

 

I listen to a lot of music, which possibly explains why I haven't seen hardly any of the movies in the movie debates.

I see.

But the important question is.... Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets? I would probably go with RTL but it's a tough call.

I'd go with Master of Puppets, but those are #1 and #1A for me.

Pretty good but I probably wouldn't go see em.  I'd put em in the same category as Depressed Mode but they're a lot more tolerable for whatever reason.

I feel like I give this rating out to a lot of things, but 5/10. I like their songs, but nothing I care enough to go out and see. Trying to be as objective as possible but they almost got another point or so just for joke/meme potential.

It's interesting to see interviews with Robert Smith. He can come off as an ass quite often, but he's always very genuine and passionate. He feels like a big fanboy moreso than an incredibly succesful and respected musician, and I really appreciate that he's kept that lowkey approach.

I was never a big fan of their music, but a lot of it is really good, some of it extremely so. Like everyone else, I like their Disintegration album, and the title track might strangely be one of their more underrated songs.

Generally I'm probably more about their gloomier, droning and kinda Bauhaus'ish earlier songs though. I don't really like their upbeat plucky stuff that much (like Friday I'm In Love or Lovecats, etc). Shit like A Forest is my jam.

8/10

Blood flowers is one of their best albums.

 

That album specifically reminds me of a sorta weird time in my life.
Listening to it now, Watching Me Fall is still and incredibly great track.

I'm indifferent to Bonnie Tyler but she has a nice voice like a female Rod Stewart.

 

That seems like a really good way to phrase it.

Lulu. That album is hot garbage! All the rest are good. AJFA#1

 

As for The Cure. I went 5. Whatever album A Forest was on it ok. The rest are meh.

have not explored them as much as the next band, but definitely not bad

6/10, but because im lazy and not inclined to go through their library right now.

8/10. I really like most of their music though I don't know all of it super well. I've liked almost everything I've listened to by them and I want to listen to them more.
