About this album

Universal Music GmbH (2006) Released: 13 Jan 2006 8 tracks (42:51)
Pornography, which was released 1982, represents the conclusion of the musical phase which began with Seventeen Seconds and Faith. Often cited as the most disturbing product of The Cure, the album’s opening lyrical line is “It doesn’t matter if we all die”. Despite the fact that very few critics in the British press gave the album a favorable review, Pornography charted well in the UK and has gained much more respect over the years, now considered one of the key Gothic rock albums of all time.

    Pure concentrated depression transformed into the music ... those hypnotic drums are sick (in the best way to say)! Amazing album!

    Why are all the release dates messed up on Lastfm? Pornography was released in 1982... Just for a start.

    The cover reminds me of "Loveless". Both great albums, definitely two of my favorites. Perfect from start to finish.

    It's the drumming that make this album a masterpiece imo. Whoever decided to make the drums extremely prominent during the mixing of the record deserves a handshake.

    I understand this album is supposed to sound ugly, but they could've toned down the gated reverb

    "Doesn't matter if we all die" What a way to set the mood! Anyway... possibly my favourite Cure album (:

    if you're looking for something similiar -> Nico's "Camera Obscura" or "Drama of exile" but it's more like some of David Bowie's albums... however, they are great
