'Disintegration' is one of the greatest albums ever, irrespective of genres. 'The Cure' has some magnificent songs like 'Fascination Street', 'Disintegration', 'Lullaby', 'Lovecats' etc.
These labels are worthless, really. What’s New Wave anyway? I remember Bowie asking Lennon what he thought of Glam. Lennon said it was rock music with lipstick. That’s the Cure.
The extended version of this song is absolutely phenomenal. I never get tired of the guitar tone on songs like this, "Just Like Heaven" and "In Between Days".
Disintegration was their best album (and one of the best songs) - even South park says so. For me its Fascination street (on Disintegration also). Its all about the bass lines...
All the alternative kids AND the preppy kids loved them in high school. Goth music that is happy go lucky. Brilliant. He still sings great live although he looks like your Aunt Edna now.
Robert Smith sounds as good at 60 as he did in 1980! He is amazing talent!!! Songwriting, guitarist! I love the Cure! He and his wife have been marry for 35 years. Some said he was goth. But he said no. He wears black,lipstick,eyeliner,still does.
I was always told that “prevention is better than the cure” but cannot find any songs by Prevention anywhere. Must’ve been an obscure one hit wonder.🤷🏼♂️
Lol 🤪..But on a serious note..Robert Smith is a fan of/collabed with the group he feels is even better,, The Twilight Sad",, with plenty of songs for you to check out.
Hell no the Cure is not Emo. That's such blasphemy. They are Post-Punk/Goth 100% through and through. Even their more "pop-ish" sounding music is Post-Punk/Goth. Disintegration is one of the greatest albums ever made. A Forest is a masterpiece of a song. Robert Smith has one of the most amazing voices of the past century. And the Cure has inspired almost every current best selling band since the 80s.
The cure are amazing. Their songs come from the heart. Burn from the crow soundtrack is my favourite I think but it’s close with pretty much every other song they released
Old punk and metal guy, but The Cure are in my top five bands ever. You may like “Burn” from the movie “The Crow” (original, not the remake) good reaction
This song was written after a fire happened at Robert Smiths house that almost burned everything! Robert took the only thing he knew he'd miss if it was gone, a photo album. He wrote the song only for him and his girlfriend (now wife) but she thought it was so good she wanted him to put it on an album!
@justindoplayer1516 I guess. I mean more like an attempt at goth that came out looking like a man/Frankenstein/fat little girl. Halloween costume. I was 11!!!!
Got to see them live on tour last year. Show was magical. The first encore onward was nothing but hits. The crowd was even feeling the new songs from the upcoming album, holding up their phones without prompting. Robert seemed touched.
mthrfkkr are you wearing a WHALERS hat?? i was born in Binghamton, NY. i think when i was born the Dusters [?] were playing in the Arena but soon after it was the Whalers. :)
The Cure are GOTH. Pure Goth. They and Siouxsie and the Banshees essentially created the genre. So not post punk, not New Wave not "Alternative", THEY ARE GOTH. Indeed Robert Smith and Siouxsie Sioux are known as the King and Queen of the Goths.
I think the song is about someone he loved but they are no longer in his life. Sounds like he is maybe mourning a loss 🤷♀️ My dream car is a 1967 red Mustang convertible 😊
hello my brothers, we are all from Indonesia 🇮🇩, waiting for your video about the song kool aid live from bring me the horizon, hope you have a nice and happy day always. From Indonesia🇮🇩🦁
Art rock new wave punk they been around since 1979 with song the forest and he played and wrote for many different groups and there rock and roll hull of fame in Ohio
The cure are multiversatile genre but they shine in more dark tone with post punk/goth rock , but they can do everything pop, Jazz, funk, electropop.....and there is not EMO in 80's and 90's.....
I saw them in concert in the early 90’s, the most boring concert I have ever been to, I was highly disappointed but came home with an amazing contact buzz!😂
Archaeologists now believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza (at least) was built by tens of thousands of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of tax payment (levy) until the construction was completed, pointing to workers' cemeteries discovered in 1990. Wikipedia
Also Deftones have done a cover of If Only Tonight We Can Sleep by The Cure. It's an amazing cover and you should check out the live version from MTVs Icon.
My favourite period of The Cure is the mid-80s, when they released a series of great pop singles, all of which charted well in the UK. Rappers React should check out "The Love Cats", which is a happy, weird jazz/pop song and a big hit on this side of the pond.
One of my favourite bands. They've done so, so so many great songs with a lot of variety but his voice is always so recognisable. I think Catch might be my favourite, but it'll likely be different tomorrow 😂
What happened to the epic intro???? Imo The Cure is a few different vibes over the years...like early Boys don't Cry and Killing an Arab era was kinda post punk but they evolved into a more pop goth style in their Lullaby,Pictures of you period... with a hint of early EMO rock,then very EMO on the Friday I'm in love album phase and so on and so forth...kinda alternative goth during a few songs like Love Song and Burn,but a bit more commercial later on in their career imo. Still I think my favorite album over all by the Cure is THIS album!!!😄🎶❤✌
This song has a sinister subtext: the lyrical self is a perverse egoist. Your sadness is the fact that your ex-girlfriend has come out of depression and consequently out of a toxic relationship.
Cure evolved and devolved a lot. Pornorgraphy is genius but completely different than the pop and romance stuff. And the early stuff is just raw post punk. They had a dark goth period as well. No two Cure albums alike.
The Cure are a post-punk band that insists on evolving on each record. Sometimes they're goth. Sometimes they're punk. Sometimes pop. Please react to "A Forest".
THE CURE definitely has multiple genres and even created their own. early stuff sounds nothing like this. try JUMPING SOMEONE ELSE’S TRAIN or THE WALK ( kinda electronic) or CATIPILLAR. lots of great songs
I discovered their Disintegration album after watching a scene in the Ant-Man movie where him and Yellowjacket were fighting in a suitcase. But i listened to the title track instead of the song that was playing in the movie 'Plainsong'. Nirvana biographer Michael Azzerad said the sound of Disintegration was 'the culmination of the musical directions the band were pursuing over the course of the 80s', combining the gothic rock of the gothic trilogy of their 2nd to 4th albums from '80 to '82, and the new wave pop of Japanese Whispers, The Head on the Door and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.
unbelievable song writers and musicians...people will get caught up in the subgenre, but they are new wave for sure... goth, post-punk all that stuff...but New Wave
Digging your reaction vids, and know it's off-topic from the Cure, but would really like to see your guys' reaction to Mother's Finest a funk/rock band formed in Atlanta Ga in the early 70s specifically thier 1979 Mother's Finest Live album with a funk Somebody to Love cover and Fire. Mickey's Monkey, Magic Carpet Ride, etc. Pretty sure you will groove with it once you hear it. Regardless keep them vids coming ...
The emo comment...yes, you ask most bands regarded as emo, they've probably been heavily influenced by The Cure and The Smiths. Morrissey and Robert Smith disdain one another too, so that's funny

Great bands like " The Cure " don't really fit into just 1 category. Songs change throughout the years and decades. They are still together. I have all their studio albums. One song that will pick you up and want to dance is " Friday, I'm in Love ".
These guys were the OG Emo band. I’m 51 and this band found their popularity during my high school years. Us boys thought of them as a girls band. But we dug them. Lol
Robert Smith is a crazy good guitar player, they can play the songs twice as fast live and it still sounds great. Three Imaginary Boys is a great album
I like this but think the Cure have done much better - A Forest, Lovecats, Inbetween days, Close to me, Just like heaven, and Lullaby to name just a few! Cheers.
Dudes great channel, can you react to deadweight by I prevail and means to an end by sepultura, as the drummer from sepultura is rumoured to be the new drummer for Slipknot
i also have a love/hate relationship with this band. there's a handful of songs of theirs that i like, a couple that i love, and one that makes me foam at the mouth with rage ("lovecats").
great band the cure started in 1977 as easy cure then changed the band simply to the cure my favourite non metal band and goth band of all time i have seen the cure live and have all of their early records on vinyl three imaginary boys 1979 wjich is more happy summer good vibe pop rock seventeen seconds 1980 goth dark goth faith 1981 pornography 1982 dinsintergration 1989 the song pictures of you is about being distanced from robert smith,s wife the whole disintergration is about loss depresssion death love failed romance the cure is from crawley england north london near midlands
Hey i got a funny song for you all please react too Ray steven ballad of blue cyclone part 1 and 2 also please do Steven lynch talk to me if u want another funny song they both have some funny songs i think u might enjoy
Post punk is my fave genre. I love tge million pieces rock broke into after Johnny Rotten screamed ANARCHY. Cure were on the London scene, and Robert Smith played with Siouxsie as the Banshees were being born. Disintegration, released in 89, was the mainstream breakthrough for them. Several songs got onto 120 minutes on MTV, radios picked them up. Then their next album made them household names with Friday I'm in Love.
