“The Cure... made an art form out of dark simplicity.”
You Must Hear Before You Die.
I love the sparse, thin guitar strumming and melodies that predominate on this album. To me, they are not "dark" as much as they are "introspective".
The Cure is a brilliant band: They can make you think, and they can also make you put on your best British accent and sing "It's Friday I'm In Love" at the top of your voice.
