This album is a great work. Especially the song 'the top' it's "Jesus brilliant."

after being a band for 4 albums-and though they had managed to create a scene and following up to this point- it was only a matter of time that MTV and a bigger play for radio time on a national level would emerge.. "Caterpillar". a great break out tune from this album, finally proved that they could put together a coherant and appealing song to sell albums.. that secret formula and production would bleed into their next 3 albums, certifying them instant classsics.
Dark?

The Cure have had such a long span of styles in music and lyrics but this album is a solid effort even by today's standards, IMO. It experiments with sounds and pace in each song without being a total mash-up of unrelated material. There is that undergound band dirty feel but still a strong focus. I think it's a must for any Cure fan and I like a good song or two recommendation in a review so here are mine: Shake Dog Shake, The Caterpillar, and Bananafishbones.

Darkest album? Definitely not, pornography takes that title, but this album truly is great. Very under rated and I don't know why. It's very hard to describe the feel of it and the only way to describe this album is phycadelic. It's just weird and fun but I guarantee it's great.

I bought this record when it first came out, hated it. Listened to it 3 years later and fell in love. I guess I was a little slow to "get it". If you listen to this and don't like it, give it a few more chances.
Not to long, not to short.

Very different opinions regarding this album. I do agree that it does seem a bit disjointed at times but I have to say I think it is one of the better Cure releases
(in MY humble opinion) and certainly one of my favorites. A little bit of everything as if blended at high speed and poured into the vinyl press. If perhaps with seeming disregard to some. While it may be a hodgepodge I certainly would not call it 'imperfect at best". as I feel there is not one weak song on this album.
And again as a side note- WHERE IS JAPANESE WHISPERS ITUNES!!???
