   I guess the cats out of the bag and I retweeted that because I finally have enough of it done that I'm not afraid I'll lose interest and give up. I've been working on the "article" for the past 5-6 nights but like I said, it's not website material, nobody comes to NIDC for music reviews and critiques. Plus I want to re-write the intro and I'm trying to decide if I can get away with sharing 60 songs instead of just 45. The Cure's catalogue is fucking huge and I love most of it.

     Originally I was going to just share my three favorite songs off each album, but as I started writing I kinda realized that as a huge fan of the band, my peferances didn't necessarily line up with "the best way to get new people excited about a 2024 album to check out this band."

     Furthermore, while writing it I sorta realized the albums broke naturally into three equal tiers for me; 5 where picking 3 songs was easy, 5 where I'd have to leave out 1-2 songs I love, and 5 where it's impossible.

     For those of you who don't care at all about this sorta thing, please be advised I understand completely. Things have just been outrageously hard for me the last little while, and not just because of the news, my personal/family life is kinda falling apart because cancer is horrible and capitalism is evil.

     This is more or less a therapy project designed to make me start writing again and if I'm right, finishing it will help me get back to the stuff you'd rather read eventually.

     @Oggie My advice is to spin Just Like Heaven, Pictures of You, and A Forest back to back to back. If none of those three songs does anything for you, there's a pretty good chance you're just not into the band. They also had a pretty strong post punk, and a pure gothic rock phase some people go absolutely apeshit for, but there are hints of those periods laid inside the three songs I just listed.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites
     How dare you write about something you feel strongly about in your own manner and the way you want? Heh. Honestly it's always nice to see people who present a lot more NT than I have their hyperfocal tangents.

     I am not sure why the cure never resonated with me. Someone from college tried a bit to get me into them, but it didn't take. I recognize the talent, but nothing made me just dive in ( most other bands of similar fame I at least have one song that I adore).

     @Oggie There's nothing wrong with just, not liking something, even if other people love it. Different strokes for different folks and all that; they're my favorite band, but I hate The Doors for just one example of a band people absolutely go apeshit for who I could go the rest of my life without hearing ever again.
