Agreed.  Although I find "Last Night I Dreamt." very sad indeed.

I suppose I should've said I don't find their best work depressing or
miserable - it fires me up!

First time I saw the cure was backing up Generation X. I found it a bit dull
for the occassion, but liked the releases I heard. I saw them again
Pornography era, and thought they were great. It is my favourite album of
theirs. I got bored soon after. I wouldn't necessarily call some of the
Cure's work 'sad'. Depressing maybe, like Scott Walker, who I can only take
in VERY small doses. ;)

No no no!  [fingers in ears, not listening]  :-(   

 

I love Bloodflowers on Trilogy.  Thought the three went bloody great
together.

 

And they were awesome live last year.  I still love them.

 

(Admittedly, my tastes are often questionable.)

I think you're right :(

 

I have that Trilogy dvd with the Bloodflowers album on it - what utter
shite. Incredibly, they do a great job of Pornography & Disintegration. To
say that Buttflowers is part of that cannon is rubbish. Did you see them on
Jonathan Toss the other week? They were fucking AWFUL!!! Shit tune & the
band were as loose as a baggy flange. Such a disappointment, they should be
kicking ass in these days of post-punk reappraisal, but they've totally
missed the boat. I don't think they know how to be brooding & intense
anymore. Major influence on me, hence my obvious bitterness!

They're not going to make a good one again, are they ?

I lost interest after Disintegration - really didn't like the 'We've 

always had a dance element to our music' remix album.

 

Occasionally I've tried to get back into them, I bought Bloodflowers 

Which I thought was rather dull. I tried that one that was produced

By the bloke who produced Slipknot - that one was REALLY shite !!

I also bought 4.13 Dream a few weeks ago - kind of a last attempt, 

but having listened to it a few times I have to say it sounds pretty tepid 

too, sadly :o( .
