 Imaginary review July 23, 2007
0 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is probably the worst Cure album, mainly because the whole thing doesn't come together as a whole. Probably to do with the record company wanting to insert pointless songs like foxy lady. However the inclusion of so what, meathook and object doesn;t make any sense in the wake of BETTER songs like world war, i just need myself etc.
However on the other end of the scale are true classics like Fire in Cairo and the beginnings of atmospheric music that Cure would be associated with in the form of 10:15 Saturday Night and Three Imaginary Boys. As a whole, it doesn't work. And it definitely doesn't hold up today, like all the other Cure albums. It sounds dated and doesn't flow.

Alot of people see Wild mood swings as the cure's worst album simply because the songs don't flow, which irritates me because thats clearly what the cure were trying to achive (WILD MOOD SWINGS???!!) Although I would rate this as the worst cure album. There are some very good songs on here, (10:15, three imaginary boys) but I just find the structure of songs a bit boring, there no keyboards or weird cure effects, just the standared drums, bass and guitar. Doesn't seem to have the spark other cure albums have.

This is pre goth Cure at its best. This sounds surpassingly modern today. Just compare what band like Bloc Party and Hot Hot Hot Heat are doing today to the sound of The Cure in 1979. Want to hear where Razorlight got their Golden Touch? Just listen to 10.15 Saturday Night. Songs such as Fire in Cairo and Accuracy are angular new wave guitar pop. Three Imaginary Boys and Another Day are the sound of the birth of goth. Object is an enjoyable piece of the Cure try punk. Despite a dodgy cover version (Michael Dempsey sung 'Foxy Lady)' this is a forgotten all time classic album. The bonus discs highlights are the non album classics, Boys Don't Cry and Jumping Someone Else's Train. Here are also very rough demos of some of the album tracks. These are quite interesting insights into the composition of the finished songs. A glaring omission however is the excellent 'Killing an Arab' single.
