Absolutely The Cure’s best album. I bought this in 1989 when it came out and I swear it was a single album,I know the cover was not a gatefold cover,but at over 70 minutes it seems impossibly long for a single record although two songs “Last Dance” and “Homesick” apparently weren’t on the original vinyl making it about 60 minutes long which is feasible. I had the cover hanging on the wall of my “Stereo Room” in Philly which was in the finished basement of the house I was renting. My wife didn’t like it,she said it looked like a woman at the bottom of a well. I sold this record in the early 90’s along with some others so I could by some jewelry for my wife as she was going through some hard times. Anyway in 2016 it was released as a double album with a gatefold cover. There is a picture of the band on the inside. Robert Smith was turning thirty at the time and was doing a lot of LSD. The music is rather gloomy and depressing and absolutely wonderful. “Pictures Of You” is about remembering a love gone bad,who can’t relate to that!. And of course there is “Lovesong” an actual lovesong written for his soon to be wife and their biggest selling single ever. I love the simple keyboard riff that runs through the song. “Lullaby” and “Fascination Street” are two more great songs that closed out side one on the original vinyl I believe. Side two has “The Same Deep Water As You” another good song,and the title track an awesome song about the disintegration of a relationship. The record ends with “Untitled” another great song I can’t get out of my head. A masterpiece albeit a gloomy one but my life’s been gloomy at some points. I can relate to it.
