... guitar effect making the whole song seem almost a hallucinogenic trip. As with most of the album, the melodies are there, you just have to work for them. What happens next though is rather brilliant. Suddenly the album explodes with the exciting and exhilarating The Hanging Garden. Initiated by over-the-top primal drumming and then swiftly followed by a bass guitar furiously trying to keep up with the pace. This is all surpassed though by Smith yelping over precision played guitar"Creatures kissing in the r...more

I may as well be as honest as possible from the start. You will either enjoy the sound and concept of this album or you won't. Robert Smith of The Cure was spiralling out of control with drug problems at the time of recording and the poor bloke was being consumed with many sour thoughts, and that my friends, is the sound of Pornography. He was setting out to create an album as unlistenable, grim, glum and ugly as possible. The album starts with the incredibly repetitive One Hundred Years which features some of the most robotic drumming on the album, but is redeemed almost entirely on the back of the spiralling guitar riff that will milk your udders from the ...

Following directly on from the cold gothic detachment of 'Seventeen Seconds' and spiritual crisis of 'Faith,' the Cure's fourth album brings the increasingly personal music to a satisfying climax, and remains the gloomiest of their career. This remains the band's finest achievement after their 1989 masterpiece 'Disintegration,' and provides an effectively disturbed contrast to that later work's ethereal sentimentality, an album that it's easy to lose yourself in and get sad about even if you don't paint your face black and white. The increased hostility is evident from the onset, with a more energetic performance all-round in 'One Hundred Years' that moves on ... Read the complete review

In 1982 The Cure released their fourth studio album, Pornography. Despite the fact that I was only just in my early teens I had already become quite a fan of this band and so it was probably around 1984 when I purchased this album on vinyl. At the time, I thought that the album title was quite risqué, in a snigger snigger type of way and I remember hiding it away in my bedroom, out of sight of my parents. The truth is there is nothing explicitly sexual about this album at all, but it is quite a dark, gothic album and probably not the sort of album that you would play at a wedding party. I quickly fell in love with it and I played it to death, but as my vinyl ... Read the complete review
