	The Cure
		The chilling catharsis of 'Faith' and 'Pornography' still blows through their landscape, and though Smith himself argues against his past every day, he retains it to return to in everything he does.
		Even in their most extreme moods, 'A Night Like This', and 'Lullaby' (unthinkable today without its accompanying video), The Cure capture a moment which is too fleeting to feel: unspeakable joy, unimaginable terror, a talent not so much for stating the obvious as being aware that it's obvious to begin with.
		There are other moods to The Cure, of course, which are not repeated here, the grinning inanity of the 'Wish' album for example; the cathedral gloom of 'Faith': they perhaps await another compilation.

	umusic.ca :: The Cure
		Smitten with The Cure since his early teens, Robinson had publicly stated that working with the band would be his ultimate achievement, and his determination to make this their best album ever has pushed them to new limits, which is why theyre happy to call this one simply - The Cure.
		When the fourth album, 1982s unrelentingly grim Pornography, proved to be the first Cure album to enter the British Top Ten album chart, it was obvious that the rule book and The Cure had nothing in common.
		The result is that, although the album includes songs covering a range of musical styles, the emotional intensity of every performance never flags, so that a tuneful pop gem is delivered with the same conviction as a grinding single-riff onslaught.

	Faith (The Cure album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Faith is the third album by British alternative rock band The Cure, released in 1981 (see 1981 in music).
		Faith is generally a brooding, atmospheric, and sombre album, although it has a flash of anger in the form of the song Doubt, and some edge in the driving single Primary.
		Faith was reissued in the UK on April 25, 2005 (26th in the U.S.) as part of Universal Music's Deluxe Edition series.

	The Cure - Pornography, Seventeen Seconds and Faith (Remastered) CD Review
		Elsewhere on Faith he sings, “Rape me like a child,” then on “Primary” he begins the song with, “The innocence of sleeping children.” References to children aside, this is by no means kids’ stuff.
		Faith is a bold and unblinking leap into the abyss, which never lets up, even for a minute.
		The sound of these three albums is a tad stripped-down, as Smith had obviously not yet mastered the aural majesty that would later be exemplified by such notable releases as Disintegration.

	HitSession Review: The Cure
		I remember hearing "Jumping Someone Else's Train" from their first release, and thinking that the song was cool, but I wasn't really motivated to purchase an album by The Cure for many more years.
		Faith is denser sounding, has less dominant melodies, and seems to need a good shot of caffeine.
		In an attempt to make Faith a must-have for the true fan, Smith packed on 15 bonus tracks, which are mostly annoying demos of the studio tracks, or mediocre-sounding live tracks.

	HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM \| REVIEWS \| The Cure - Seventeen Seconds Re-issue album review
		Faith comes coupled with a ton of home demos of the album tracks, as well as 4 studio out-takes from the sessions, and a group of live tracks, which I can only assume are amazing.
		That energy is great to hear in the young Cure, and gives a good reference point for the fact that even with their slowest music, they have always been quite good live.
		For those that don't understand the impact that the Cure had on the world of today's music, then this is a great place to begin their collection of material from the seminal band that has influenced just about every modern rock act.

	The Cure - Seventeen Seconds/Faith/Pornography (Expanded and Remastered) - Rhino/Elektra Records - CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		As legend has it, Robert Smith was disappointed with parts of their debut and before that album was even released, had a clear idea of the direction he wanted their second album to go in.
		The album is still impressive; more for the sheer brazen attitude the band must have had to complete this album.
		Using both, a new recording studio and producer, the album is a visceral assault upon the senses: the pounding, tribal drumming, Robert Smith’s more confident vocal wailing and their use of dissonant flourishes.

	Amazon.com: Faith [Deluxe Edition]: Music: The Cure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		For Cure leader and lyricist Robert Smith, the comfort of religion crumbles away in the face of this harsh life, leaving him with "nothing left but faith." The period during which FAITH was made was one of the darkest in Smith's life.
		I know FAITH is the favorite Cure album of a few certain fans, although it's not their strongest one in my view.
		FAITH is a four-star recording, but the latest repackaging of this fine album adds a bonus disc of largely forgettable material, and for this I feel I must subtract a star from the overall rating.

		Of course in retrospect, the band’s earliest albums were outstanding even if they were, in the end, not particularly representative of their career as a whole.
		Their second album, Seventeen Seconds, was the first time that this darkness was at the center of the album however it was Faith that presented the band in their darkest, saddest moment to date.
		Faith is a good, bordering on great release and certainly belongs in any fan of The Cure’s collection.

	Into Liquid Sky - Music Reviews
		Writing a review for a bad album is easy: just take what most annoyed you about it and rip into it.
		Faith & Disease's new album is both brilliant and beautiful.
		Over the course of several albums, F&D have been refining a unique sound that can be compared to Mazzy Star, the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, and Faith/Seventeen Seconds-era Cure.

	Discography: Full Length: Faith
		The "Faith" album came out in another Parched Art sleeve which much to the record company's disgust, featured a hazy photo of Bolton Abbey, a childhood haunt of Smith's.
		Carnage Visors was the soundtrack that the Cure used as an opening act in 1981.
		If you are familiar with this album, please rate it for others that might not be familiar with it (10 is the best).

	The Cure Reissues Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography
		All three albums have been remastered and each are being re-released with a second disc of rarities.
		It was a more sparse album as the new lineup gelled, but showed The Cure developing a strong identity of their own.
		This was a breakthrough album for The Cure that tends to be overlooked.

	Textilesounds: The Cure reissues
		Posted by: Don at June 13, 2005 11:32 AM I like the idea of the Cure as a trio again but, I also have a soft spot for Roger O’Donnell's work on "Disintegration".
		Each releases features the original album remastered on one CD with home demos, studio out-takes, and live recordings on the second CD.
		The pace is slowed down, the echo on the voice increased, and there is a keyboard part that mimics the bass but adds a nifty melody.

	The Cure Album Reviews
		Although the album as a whole is uncharacteristically upbeat, lines like “but I’m still not sure what’s going on, and I can’t help feeling something’s wrong” and “I’m sick of it all” show that Smith hasn’t quite mastered this happiness thing just yet, which is generally a good thing where his music is concerned.
		First of all, despite their singles knack, The Cure have always been album oriented artists, and each of their albums from this period have distinct characteristics that are lost when simply sampled from.
		Bloodflowers (Elektra ‘00) Rating: B+ Robert Smith's favorite Cure album was billed as the third installment in the Pornography/Disintegration trilogy, though I maintain you could link several of their other albums as well, Faith and Wish especially.

	Music Spectrum: English Dance Rock: The Cure's Faith [Remastered]
		If the Cure couldnât cross those boundaries, a shy, sheltered, white, Christian kid from the Midwest wouldnât have been able to find such a vast connection with this music that hinted at a dark world of funeral, scorned love, experimenting, freedom, streets, England, sex, and men wearing makeup.
		The sixth track on Faith is âDoubt,â part of the section of the album that reimagines the drama laid out in âPrimaryâ and âOther Voices.â The âRaritiesâ disc finds Robert Smith at home with drum machine and guitar producing an early demo of âDoubt,â laying out a guitar funeral march.
		Go back to the album version, the same guitar march is double-timed, a frantic run alongside the hearse as it peels out and races towards the dead end street.

	Amazon.com: Faith: Music: The Cure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Faith, As I see it, is the point where "goth" rock lost all of its Violence and Raw agression,(I.E Joy Division, Bauhaus, etc.) and became something of a more, well, lyrically stimulating and Musically haunting genre.
		The Cure had progressed from post-punk masters to Goth Rock visionaries, and the visions represented here, as mentioned in the title of the record, are of the abscence, or loss of faith.
		Faith, Seventeen Seconds and Pornography were - by far- the best Cure albums, although the ones proceeding them were very good too.

	The Cure
		The Cure were created in Crawley, Sussex (England), in 1978 as a mix of psychedelic beat and post-punk tradition.
		They promoted it with a seven-month world tour at the end of which the dissolution of the band was to follow.
		Music is a question of taste, and the Cure appeal to a very special taste.

	The Cure : Artists
		In May 1979 their debut album 'Three Imaginary Boys' was released to great acclaim, and as the band toured extensively around the UK, the singles 'Boys Don't Cry' and 'Jumping Someone Else's Train' were released.
		In early 1980 the 4-piece Cure embarked on an exploration of the darker side of Robert's songwriting, and emerged with the minimalist classic 'Seventeen Seconds', along with their first bona-fide 'hit single' 'A Forest'.
		The album 'Mixed Up' was released, supported by the re-mixed singles 'Never Enough', 'Close To Me' and 'A Forest', and in 1991 The Cure at last won some long overdue 'home' recognition with a Brit Award for 'Best British Group'.

	Manning - The Cure
		On this album the balance is quite a bit more to the symphonic rock side with extensive tracks such the opener Domicile.
		The second part of the album consists of five tracks, of which Real Life is the first and shortest.
		At first this album seems louder and less singersongwriter directed as the previous album, but the album does have its share of quieter moments (Falling, Real Life), but in a way there are always aspects that make the track sound less ordinary.

		Allmusic.com rated the album as three stars saying "the album is a satisfying listen and there's a certain charm in hearing a Cure thats so comfortable in its own skin, but its the type of record that sits on the shelves of diehard fans, only occasionally making its way on the stereo".

	Cure Discography at CD Universe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		One of modern rock's most enduring acts, the Cure proves it's still able to put on a great live show in THE CURE FESTIVAL 2005.
		Led by depressive pop prince Robert Smith, the Cure have taken their legions of fans on a journey from post-punk to gothic to new wave to art rock, stopping only for refills of hairspray along the way.
		An amazing band both live and in the studio, the Cure may have shifted its lineup numerous times, but Smith has remained a consistently fascinating rock icon throughout the changes.

		Rejuvenated, the now 2-piece Cure released their first real dance single, the cheesy "Let's Go To Bed," and during the making of the accompanying video forged a colorful and lasting relationship with director Tim Pope.
		Work on the next album was interspersed with recording "Dredd Song" for the film "Judge Dredd," a cover of Bowie's "Young Americans" for an XFM album, and headlining several major European festivals, including the 25th Glastonbury.
		The first 4 Cure albums were re-released, with Robert providing 'rarities' for extras CD's, as part of an ongoing campaign to remaster and re-issue all the Cure albums, and work began on a live DVD.

	In The 80s - Album Reviews of the 80s, Index
		Second album of a trilogy including "17 Seconds" and "Pornography", The Cure's "Faith" is one of their most distinctive works.
		The approach is detached, the mood is incredibly dark and the music is minimal and sometimes tragic which is arguably what makes it such a great album and one of those with a special place in the most devoted fans' hearts.
		The way he expresses himself on "The Drowning Man", "The Funeral Party", "Other Voices" and "Faith" hints that his frame of mind is in throes of some sort of malaise, with an overwhelming desire not to be unhappy anymore.

	CD GALLERY: The Cure
		Import version of the Cure's debut album...well actually, since they're a UK band, this should be considered the "original" version, and Boys Don't Cry as the import.
		The sound is a mix of themes from their last two (and two best) albums, creating some of the most depressing, maudlin music they've ever done.
		I dunno, The Cure on Prozac just doesn't work for me...their song on the Depeche Mode tribute album is also rather weak.

	The Cure : Faith - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Certainly not the "darkest" the Cure would eventually get, Faith is, as represented by the cover art, one of the most "gray" records out there.
		Melancholy and despondent (the feel of funerals and old churches just oozes from this record) without the anger that would over take Pornography, Faith comes off as not just a collection of songs, but as a full piece.
		But it's not all gloomy keyboards and minimalist percussion, Faith is also a milestone for Robert Smith lyrically, branching out into questions of faith and spirituality he never quite touched on so well ever again.

	Amazon.co.uk: Greatest Hits: Music: Cure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		What this compilation does is focus attention on the Cure's perennial unpredictability--the nursery school bonkers-ness of "The Caterpillar", the breathless claustrophobia of "Close to Me", the New Order-lite of "The Walk", the brass-section embellished thrust of "Why Can't I Be You".
		I'm not a fan of the cure, but some of their songs do stand out and highlight some of the poignant moment in my life, so greatest hits was ideal for me, especially as it has lovecats on it...
		But this album seems to be lacking something, it sounds almost as if all their greatest hits have been RE-Recorded for this album.
