		"Siamese Twins" and "The Figurehead" are the backbone of the album.
		Pornography is my favorite album from The Cure, and is one of my favorite records of all time.
		When an album starts out with a lyric like "It doesn't matter if we all die" in a wall of slashing, dissonant guitar riffs and eerie synths, that can only mean one of two things:...

	Wings of Desire: Music: The Cure - bloodflowers
		The continuity of Bloodflowers with the quoted albums comes curiously suggested by the name itself; blood flowed restlessly through the lyrics and through the red of the cover of Pornography, and flowers were the main element of the whole artwork of Disintegration.
		And, like in those albums, all the songs are composed by Robert himself, relegating the rest of the group to the role of a "performing orchestra".
		Pornography was an album written almost completely in first person; the agent of all Cure-man's actions was "I " : from "One Hundred Years" to "Siamese Twins", from "The Figurehead" to "A Strange Day", from "Cold" to the title-track.

	The Cure : Community
		This album alongside Faith hold some of the most influential sounds for me. The only other band that I think has reached this degree of depressive influence would be Xiu Xiu and their album Knife Play.
		Pornography is a great album, there is no denying that, even if it is not quite on the same level as Disintegration.
		Pornography opened my eyes to the fact that music could be beautiful and dark at the same time.

		That the pornography industry is undoubtedly one of the most exploitative industries of our day—an industry of extreme manipulation, coercion, profiteering, and addiction—is reason alone for designers to reject it and to lend their efforts to its limitation or removal.
		Revenue from pornography is larger than the combined revenues of all professional football, baseball and basketball franchises and exceeds the combined revenues of ABC, CBS, and NBC ($6.2 billion).
		Pornography has been found to be the common denominator in cases of sexual abuse, rape, and incest.

	The Cure Album Reviews
		Pornography (Fiction ’82, Rhino '05) Original Album and Reissue Rating: B+ In April 2005, the second batch of Cure reissues came, this time the trilogy of albums (Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and Pornography) on which the more commonly familiar Cure sound came to be.
		And though the album is relentlessly depressing, with lines like “it doesn’t matter if we all die” and songs about animals dying ("The Hanging Garden"), the music is often both coldly beautiful and surprisingly hard rocking, led by Smith’s naggingly insistent guitar playing (heard to best effect on “One Hundred Years”).
		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.

	The Cure - Pornography - Stylus Magazine
		fter six albums, The Cure’s introspective mood had begun to barrel into depression (heralded by Seventeen Seconds’ and Faith’s lyrical downturn) and, in 1982, was brought to the cliff's unstable lip by Pornography’s thick sense of isolation, fatigue, self loathing, and pessimism.
		Pornography the album is a sinister tainted affair too, thoughts that don’t need to be shared are shared and the air of post-orgasm shame is as thick as the spillage on peep show windows.
		Pornography may not be pornography but you might still want to carry it in a brown paper bag.

	Prince of Darkness Meets Priestess of Porn: Sexual and Political Identities in Hanif Kureishi's, The Black Album
		The Black Album draws parallels between Shahid and Prince,[6] Shahid and Salman Rushdie, Deedee Osgood (Shaid's teacher and lover) and Madonna, Deedee and Ayesha (the favoured wife of the Prophet who is parodied in many ways in The Satanic Verses).
		It is a chromatic reversal of, and a tribute to, the Beatles' 'White Album'.
		Maybe pornography presented a complete and uplifting adventure, like the world in children's books.'[62] Rushdie also uses The Thousand and One Nights (which is the same collection of stories as The Arabian Nights) as an example of the terrible seriousness of story-telling; just like Sheherazade, one must get it right each time.

	The Cure - Pornography, Seventeen Seconds and Faith (Remastered) CD Review
		Pornography is a slightly less successful endeavor, since, as its title suggests, it offers gratuitous Goth.
		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.
		It should also be noted, however, that these discs were tracked right around the height of the punk rock movement, which was a time where spontaneity was held in much higher esteem than such things as studio craftsmanship.

	Rolling Stone : The Cure: Album by Album
		The Jam were recording their album during the day and we used to sneak in at night and use their equipment -- we knew the bloke who was looking after it -- to record our album.
		Songwriting-wise, the album was the band's first group effort, and, according to Smith, it became a double album simply because they were having so much fun that they didn't want to stop.
		Every album up to that point had sold more than the last one, and suddenly the record company was confronted with this horrifying drop in sales, and they didn't have a fuckin' clue as to why we'd ever sold records in the first place.

	The Cure - Seventeen Seconds/Faith/Pornography (Expanded and Remastered) - Rhino/Elektra Records - CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		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.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : The Cure
		Well, partly because the album is the most perfectly sequenced and thought out of The Cure albums thus far, and it kind of demands that the order intended is the order of the album.
		This album is probably the Cure's masterpiece; they took being as dark, dysfunctional and drug addled as they could.
		The remainder of the album is taken up with a few guitar oriented songs in a harder hitting rock vein and a few slow ballads.

	The Cure : Pornography - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Later hailed as one of the key goth rock albums of the '80s and considered by many hardcore Cure fans to be the band's best album, Pornography was largely dismissed upon its 1982 release, witheringly reviewed as a leaden slab of whining and moping.
		The truth, as usual, is somewhere in between: Pornography is much better than most mainstream critics of the time thought, but in retrospect, it's not the masterpiece some fans have claimed it to be.
		Pornography is an often intriguing listen, but it's just a bit too uneven to be considered a classic.

		The problem with the original website featuring these album covers (Kersbergen has redirected his traffic to this site after his server got all gummed up) is that they were in no particular order and no one wrote any captions.
		The lost art of using an Olan Mills family portrait as your album cover is lost for a reason, and this is it.
		Jebediah (known by his friends as “Twig”) had a raging addiction to bourbon, pornography and molesting Marsha, who worked as a stripper for several years before breaking into her acting career at age nineteen.

		You didn't really say anything about how the songs SOUNDED or weather or not the album was good when you listened to it.
		All that you did was re-iterate parts of the liner notes, which we could have found out by buying the album (or doing a quick google search of it).
		And as far as it being a heavy lyrical album, I agree, but I think one of the reasons that attracted me to it in the first place was that when I listened to it the music itself was so strange and out there...so dark and mysterious.

	Pornography - WordRidden
		Disintegration was the first Cure album I ever bought, and it’s one of the few albums that I absolutely, wholeheartedly, unreservedly adored the very first time I heard it.
		Granted, the snare drum on Pornography is mixed in such a way that it does bear more than a passing resemblance to that handclap/whip crack sound we all know and love from the 80’s.
		To be honest I have no albums but I do have ‘A Forest’ one of my favourite records ever, and ‘Killing an Arab’ which I admire for being one of the few pop songs to successfully condense a great novel into 3 minutes.

	Blogcritics.org: CD Review: The Cure - Pornography (2005 deluxe edition reissue)
		Pornography is in-your-face depressing, slamming into the listener at full force with the opening track, "One Hundred Years," which opens with the lyrics, "It doesn't matter if we all die..." Yes, you know what sort of ride you're in for with Robert Smith as your pilot.
		Pornography is a short album, eight songs clocking in at under 44 minutes.
		I'd recommend the album even if it was just the remastered version of Pornography, but the deluxe version includes a second disc of rarities, demos, and live tracks.

	The Music Box: The Cure - Pornography [Deluxe Edition] (Album Review)
		Together, the quartet of albums paints a portrait of a band that is in the process of defining itself, and the bonus material helps to fill in the gaps within the storyline by accenting the trial-and-error process that the collective endured in an effort to craft a unique identity for itself.
		Not surprisingly, Pornography was the culmination of this journey, though its creation nearly tore the group apart.
		Indeed, Pornography was the group’s darkest and most challenging outing to date (if ever), and its sometimes oblique lyrics sketched disturbing snapshots that perfectly captured the disquieting thoughts of the alienated and angst-filled adolescent mind.

	The Cure
		At first glance, Pornography blitzes yer senses with the cavernously booming syndrums, the echo-slathered guitar figures, and Robert's anguished yelp, and the initial dose is amazing...one begins to think that Bobby was finally learning how to communicate his brand of bilespew with a touch of originality and a good dose of energy.
		Pornography had all those beautiful, innocent love songs and pastoral hymns, but he did a 180 with his doinky, stupid Duran Duran for fat girls dance-fluff singles that were soon to be collected on the 1984 Japanese Whispers compilation.
		Pornography was no doubt thrown clear off the cliff by hearing these tracks...there's dance beats, very clearly 1984 MTV syndrum ripped-sweatshirt-off-the-shoulder-with-headband-and-Reebok-aerobic-shoes kind of dayglo accessible romp that gave plenty of British musicians bad names back in the early-to-mid-80's.

	Various Artists - 100 Tears: A Tribute to the Cure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		It is probably the closest to the original of any song on the album, with an intriguing twist: female vocals.
		Another song that was a little disappointing was Wreckage's "Pornography." It doesn't have the same feeling of desperation and despair that the entire Pornography album had.
		It might not be fair for me to judge all of these versions against their originals, it's just that I got so attached to some of the songs that it is hard to hear versions which stray rather far from the original.

		morbid to the bone, this album creates undoubtedly an atmosphere of despair and depression through a powerful harmony of sounds and lyrics that few other dark bands have succeeded in creating.
		There is a method to Robert Smith's madness, however, and the two albums are different enough to stand on their own and satisfy fans who love the Cure for disparate reasons.
		PARIS, the first of the two to be released in America, showcases the darker moodier side of the Cure, favoring extended explorations of some of the Cure's most difficult material.
