THE CURE
Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s,
few were as enduring and popular as the Cure. Led through numerous incarnations by
guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith, the band became well-known for its slow, gloomy dirges
and Smith's ghoulish appearance, a public image that often hid the diversity of the Cure's music.
At the outset, the Cure played jagged, edgy pop songs before slowly evolving into a more textured outfit.
As one of the bands that laid the seeds for goth rock, the group created towering layers
of guitars and synthesizers, but by the time goth caught on in the mid-'80s, the Cure
had moved away from the genre. By the end of the '80s, the band had crossed over into
the mainstream not only in its native England, but also in the United States and in various parts
of Europe. The Cure remained a popular concert draw and reliable record-seller throughout
the '90s, and their influence could be heard clearly on scores of new bands
during the new millennium, including many that had little to do with goth

grading
RECORDS EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
On the surface, Wish sounds happier than Disintegration, and the sunny British Invasion hooks of thehit single "Friday I'm in Love" certainly seem to indicate that the record is a brighter affair than its predecessor.
Dig a little deeper and the album reveals itself to be just as tortured...(AllMusic)
