Next up is one of my favorite songs in The Cure's catalogue and a true hidden gem, Six Different Ways. A song about the various personalities Smith affects, this quirky track is written in 6/8 time to showcase the talents of (then) new drummer Boris Williams. Combining multiple synth tracks emulating strings, piano, cello, a xylophone filter, and even a kalimba, this bouncy melodic song is deceptively complex. Strained, emotive vocals perfectly complete the arrangement.
