About album of the day: The BestEverAlbums.com album of the day is the album appearing most prominently in member charts in the previous 24 hours. If an album has previously been selected within a x day period, the next highest album is picked instead (and so on) to ensure a bit of variety.
My opinions are pretty neutral about the album. I've only heard it once, and I remember it sounding pretty good. Just never got around to giving it a better listen.
Can someone explain the cover to me though? I've never understood it. I see a face in the middle, an eye in the corner, and a few flowers i think? 😕 _________________ Doubles & Conch
In reference to the album cover, I think it is a visual representation of the themes love and loss that run throughout the whole album. Flowers are one of the most interesting symbols in semiotics (blame university) as they can represent both love and death depending on its interpreter.
Also the image of Robert Smith is clouded and overrun by the flowers which could mean the disintegration into death, becoming like soil to make life above thrive.
These are just thoughts I came up with then. Never really focussed all that much on the cover.
This album deserves to be higher. A pinnacle in post-punk of the late 80s and the masterpiece of a highly influential and important band.
It's good, but not as good as Seventeen Seconds (their masterpiece) or Faith. After a major pop breakthrough, and a disappointing psychedelic double LP, this album showed that their best bet was to come back to depressive new-wave, tinged with a little pop. Anyway, The Cure haven't done anything as good since, but had done better before.

Kinda agree except some from Wish and b-sides (This Twilight Garden, Play etc) were great. Bloodflowers also had some highlights but yes, consistantly as albums they have missed the mark.
