  SOUNDTHESIRENS.COM - Review :: The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys [Deluxe Edition]
Despite the Goth-rock image that the gloomy Smith is usually associated with, Three Imaginary Boys is musically a copasetic initiation into the artsy mood that was developing from the lack of technical restrictions put on musicians of the time and the freshness arising from the new generation.
To hear the 1979 debut Three Imaginary Boys after becoming accustomed to The Cure of 2004's Curiosa and of this year's self-titled release is to see the growth of a deity arise and shape the music industry around their ideology.
Three Imaginary Boys wasn't paid much attention to when it was initially released, but it revealed the foundation of a musical revolution that is still unconditionally challenging the institution.

 The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys (Deluxe Edition) - Elektra / Rhino Records - CD Deluxe Edition
“Three Imaginary Boys” is not much more than the sum of its parts: voice, guitar, bass and drums with very little in the way of overdubs.
Interesting to note that this is the first time “Three Imaginary Boys” is appearing in its original running order on CD in the US.
It is interesting to note that the demos for songs that were eventually re-recorded for the “Three Imaginary Boys” album, are much more full sounding here with beefier, distorted guitars.

 Cokemachineglow.com - The Cure: Three Imaginary Boys (Re-Issue)
When Smith, Tolhurst and Dempsey entered the studio as disaffected, literate not-quite-punks, their aim was to lay down an album of angry pop music with the same raw, unfocused venom of their live shows.
The album’s packaging and marketing was hijacked by the label, but upon its release Three Imaginary Boys was acclaimed by the British press as no less than a musical revolution.
They re-released Three Imaginary Boys because every post-punk, new-wave, electro-pop, and nacho-funk band of the past four years worth a quarter-column in NME is supposedly “influenced by early Cure."

Maybe it was youthful exuberance or perhaps it was the fact that the band itself was not pulling all the strings, Three Imaginary Boys is not only a very strong debut, but a near oddity (it's an admittedly "catchy" record) in the Cure catalogue.
There are some very good songs on here, (10:15, three imaginary boys) but I just find the structure of songs a bit boring, there no keyboards or weird cure effects, just the standared drums, bass and guitar.
Three Imaginary Boys and Another Day are the sound of the birth of goth.

More poppy and representative of the times it was made that any other album during their long career, Three Imaginary Boys is a semi-detached bit of late-'70s English pop-punk.
Angular and lyrically abstract, it's strong points are in its utter simplicity.

In addition to the kitschy coolness of the original album (and the unexpected pop appeal), the newly unearthed bonus material is what makes this offering from The Cure a must-own not to mention one of the most interesting and necessary remasters of recent memory.
My interest is also peaked by the songs which didn't make it on to Three Imaginary Boys but instead showed up on future releases and/or as singles.
The three included mono home demos are as under produced as I expected, but they do give a certain amount of perspective to the end products.

 The Cure : Three Imaginary Boys (Deluxe Edition) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Following the four-disc Join the Dots box, Rhino continued with a two-disc expanded form of Three Imaginary Boys, originally released in 1979 as the band's first album.
Four studio demos from 1978 are a major draw, with Smith's boyish and alluringly ho-hum vocals in stark contrast to what is heard on the album, and the relatively strenuous instrumentation isn't nearly as spindly.
Not to be outdone, disc one contains a remastered Three Imaginary Boys that sounds far more crisp and bold than the initial, thin-sounding CD version.

Despite various lineup changes, The Cure have forged an ongoing career highlighted by an astonishing run of artistic and commercial successes, including chart-topping hit singles, gold and platinum records, countless awards, critical acclaim, and an international fan base that follows the band with religious fervor.

When the Beastie Boys and Bjork were announced as headliners for this year's Sasquatch festival, I reacted with collective “ehh”.
After a brief intermission the boys returned with a vengeance for a four-song encore that began with “Intergalactic” and ended with “Sabotage” and everybody had the opportunity to shout out all of there frustrations from the weekend — the ten dollar beers, the cold, and the delays — and sing along with Ad Rock Wwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

 The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys - Review - Stylus Magazine
Twenty five years have passed since the original UK release of the enigmatically-sleeved Cure debut Three Imaginary Boys.
US audiences not wishing to engage in expensive import hijinks previously had to make do with the hit-singlified hybrid Boys Don’t Cry album, but now they too can enjoy the tracklisting as god intended.
Presumably no-one wanted to painstakingly explain the philosophical context all over again, but it seems tricky to justify the decision to ditch the band’s debut single from this release.

 musique deluxe CURE - Three Imaginary Boys
Schon kurz darauf wechseln sie zu Chris Parrys neuem Label Fiction und im Mai 1979 wird ihr Debütalbum "Three Imaginary Boys" veröffentlicht.
Trotzdem keine ihrer drei nach wie vor genialen 1979er Singles ("Boys Don’t Cry", "Jumping Someone Else’s Train" und der Re-Release von "Killing An Arab") auf dem Originalalbum enthalten sind, schaffen sie den Sprung nicht nur in die (weit wichtigeren) Indiecharts, sondern tatsächlich auch in die offiziellen UK-Charts.
Die Idee, die Songs aus der gleichen Phase, die erst 1983 auf dem Album "Boys Don’t Cry" erschienen sind, nunmehr auch als Bonus dem Originalalbum beizufügen, ist zu begrüßen.
