Tiggi Wrote:The Cure - Entreat
Haven't listened to this for ages...
Live album from 1990 which was, I guess, the peak of their commercial success.
Robert Smith's mix of angst & romance has always appealed to me, and this gets a good thumbs-up.
Although I do agree that this is a great record and I have this on vinyl too, in fact I have all The Cure releases on vinyl but I do find it hard to stick them to a specific genre and the only real genre that their best records is Gothic Rock. Yes, there are spurs of alternative rock in some songs but really, I do think that The Cure itself is a genre because each record they release has a distinctly different feel as I'm sure you have realised after spanning their long and industrious career.
In any case, I have been hooked on Nada Surf and the album The Weight Is A Gift. Really great lyrics and rhythm guitar from Caws completes the album and you can really interpret the lyrics pretty deeply.
