Joining Up The Dots - A Celebration of The Cure - Can you help me?

by Guildenstern Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 24 '04
Pros: The beginning of something beautiful
Cons: More imperfect than most
--------------- To celebrate the forthcoming release of The Cure’s b-sides on a four disc box-set, Join the Dots, I’ve decided to spend a couple of weeks wallowing in the music of one of my favourite bands. Feel like joining in ...

Boys Don't Cry... not yet anyway

by gloomfan , Nov 23 '03
Pros: Short, concise pop gems. Excellent skills for a band under age 20.
Cons: None really, unless you need to be obsessively Goth.
Boys Don't Cry is The Cure's first album. It is actually a repackaging of their first record, Three Imaginary Boys. TIB was released in the U.K. in 1979 and the track listing varies from Boys Don't Cry. On TIB, the bands first three singles were not ...

These Boys May Cry

by buscemifan , Nov 06 '03
Pros: The Cure at the beggining and at the peak
Cons: Nothing
THE CURE Boys Don't Cry Elektra Records 1980 The '80s were a very good time for the Cure. It was the beginning of their career but it was also the ultimate period of their career. It is the time that made Robert Smith a musical icon. During this tim ...

Unique Alternative Music

by ajitcure-tff , Apr 21 '07
Pros: The uniqueness of the band
Cons: The order of the songs and some songs could be misinterpreted
It has been 30 years since post-punk started. Punk was at a peak during this time. By 1977, the very interpretations of punk in the music world were different. For one half of the 'loyal punks', musically it was a return to garage rock 'n' roll music. ...

Melodic Dissonance

by transient_matt , Dec 15 '99
Pros: Punchy aggressiveness + catchy virtuosity + sonic fidelity = one damn good record
Cons: If you are a fan of Top 40 banality you will probably hate this record
Boys Don't Cry is a paragon of minimalist art-punk-pop that delights both the serious fan and the casual listener. The album incorporates dissonant yet melodic guitar amid driving bass and drums, creating an aggressive, dark palette of gripping...

...and then there was The Cure

by pboy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 27 '99
Pros: the cure started out perfectly with Boys don't cry...
Cons: none
When I was in junior high school, I wasn't really into music at all. Living in Connecticut, the only radio stations available were KISS stations (playing ultra pop songs), country, and metal; which I could not stand. I started to listen to the Dr....

Robert Shouldn't Cry Over This One

by NRGrabe , Oct 26 '00
Pros: Fun, post punk recording, great from beginning to end
Cons: You won't enjoy this if you think the Cure is just dark, dank and dismal all the time...
I know this LP isn't Robert Smith's favorite. In fact, I know he dislikes it very much. In many interviews, he has said he wished he never had recorded it. But I like "Boys Don't Cry." It is one of those endearing recordings you can listen to...

Well everyone has to start out somewhere...

by Lord_Revenant , May 10 '00
Pros: it has a few good tracks
Cons: too raw-sounding
I am a consummate Cure fanatic. I own every album and then some, but I just can't stand Three Imaginary Boys or its US counterpart Boys Don't Cry.

The Cure have been my favorite band for many years, but I have always disliked this album....

American Pop

by detroitbutcher , Aug 04 '01
Pros: Makes it's point and splits, for those who dislike long epic songs
Cons: has been issued in at least four different versions, buyer beware
Note: this review is based on the cassette version of the album that was available for sale in the US in 1991.

I've yet to meet, outside of these opinion boards, a Cure fan who dislikes this album. The problem is, few fans have heard the...
