Well, all of the previous remasters were called "Deluxe" for a reason. There were tons of outtakes and songs that were never released previously: "Play With Me", "Faded Smiles" "Going Home Time", "Ariel", "Demise", "Temptation" and many others. Some of the demos delivered quite a surprise as well: "A Few Hours After This" or "The Hanging Garden" sound nothing like final versions. Considering tremendous non-album stuff from Wish era ("Lost Wishes" and a collection of strong b-sides) we have been expecting a real treat.

1. Some of those oldie stuff is actually ten times better than anything they released in XXI c. There is nothing even close on self-titled/4:13 to "Ariel" or "Temptation Two". 2. "They would have put it on the original albums" is a completely incorrect statement for post-1984 The Cure. They kept true hits like "The Exploding Boy", "A Chaing Of Flowers" or "This Twilight Garden" out of the albums, yet had 100% b-side material like "Screw" on them. Even Rob himself mentioned it several times in past 10 years (when they performed some b-sides like "Stop Dead" or "This Twilight Garden") that he thinks that it was meant to be a single. My advice (considering your odd hostility) is to just ignore the upcoming remaster.

My advice is not to trust Smith too much as he is known to be a playful liar. And I don't think he had anything to do with those "Deluxe" versions, given that the band left Fiction Records in 2001. All of this nonsense looks like something a record company would do to profit. And there's no hostility on my side (not towards you anyway), I'm just tired of this endless chain of unnecessary re-re-re-re-releases of well known albums that oversaturate the market and serve no other purpose than to cash in. Meanwhile we've been waiting almost 3 years for the new album, not to mention there has been no new music since 2008.

A reminder that the 30th anniversary of "Wish" is in a month. It's hilarious that 12 of those years we have been waiting for that notorious remastered deluxe edition (that was supposed to celebrate the 20th anniversary).

Even then, man. They tend to not be that busty. Not ass busty. So it's still like what?

Art is humans trying to understand being human. We create and consume art to understand ourselves and each other. Sadness is a powerful and multifaceted feeling most humans experience and have a deep need to share with others. Sad music helps us feel we're not alone, that others experience loss like we do. Sad music helps us remember what we've lost and, perhaps, helps us accept it and appreciate it. That, and playing sad music gets you like, tons of goth chick pussay~!

I was only being goofy, but what you said is discussion worthy. What you say does make overall sense, but I find the idea that art's purpose is TO UNDERSTAND being human objectionable. However, first, it depends on what you mean by art. If you are meaning art as in the general study of art, I can't really argue since any field is a field because of a goal for understanding (or just knowledge). If you mean art as in the very creative practice of it, I have to ask in such a case where art was created from pre-existing understanding or was communicated in a way where understanding is impossible to miss or impossible to grasp, does the work no longer meet the criteria of being art? I think art can be frivilous without needing to be a means towards understanding, although that could very well be the most respectable engagement of it. Side note: tell me if I'm not making sense. I struggle verbalizing most of the time.

I think I follow you, and I don't disagree. I use understanding very broadly here, and I think we often times are not conscious of the meaning we are trying to convey or find when creating art. Even the most frivolous piece of art can have meaning subjectively, as all art and it's interpretations is subjective - and at the same time shared. I think you can make art for the fun of it, for simple beauty, for repetition, for no real discernible reason, and it's kind of still about this crazy experience of humanity. What the artist puts in and what others get out will always differ. To a degree, at least. I have no real issues if you want to constrict definitions here, that's fine with me. It's just that when trying to understand art, as a concept, I usually come back to feelings: art is something created that evokes feelings. No matter how trivial those feelings are, they are human. That is my view, and I don't expect anyone to share it, though it is nice to discuss. Help, no more charact

17 секунд - любимый альбом. До сих пор помню, как в 17 лет меня подружка Белобрысая Лизка тащила обдолбанную через квартал по шоссе, а в мобиле играли эти песенки. Это я к тому, что лучше Seventeen Seconds они так ничего и не записали.

Такой себе взгляд на творчество Зе Куре, но отчасти понимаю. Лучше уж знать и помнить о них по альбому 'Seventeen Seconds', а не подобно миллениалам впервые узнавать об этой группе только из-за 'фита' Роберта Смита с Crystal Castles

Это не вот прям взгляд на творчество, это просто дерзкие рил воспоминания или такой воршип Seventeen Seconds. Да, я знаю про другие альбомы The Cure, тот же Desintegration, но он зашёл мне именно за счёт спайки Prayers for rain и The Same Deep Water... (прямо как у нефилимов на Elysium - Wail of Sumer / And there will your heart be also или позже Tiamat - Mount Marilyn/A Deeper Kind Of Slumber) Шедевральные песни отдельно взятые. Но Seventeen Seconds узнаваем с первой секунды от начала и до конца, в этом и ценность его.
