they're my 5 th favourite band.. after PLACEBo, muse, queen and the doors...

this weekend was a The Cure Marathon @ MTV, it was great, it was The Cure 24 hours, in which they programmed MTV Icon: The Cure, Fanography, The Cure live in London, Eye with The Cure (which consisted on lots of interviews, to the band, mainly to Robert), The Cure Unplugged, and 2 Videologias (sorry, i don't know how to translate that...it's a show with a whole hour of videos from the band)

oh, and i loved the MTV Icon, A.F.I. played....Davey Havok and Jade Puget looked great..., but what i liked the most was that some bands commented about how much they liked The Cure, and guess what?? Steve talked!!! well, our three boys were there, but the only one that talked was Steve, he said that he wanted to be like Robert Smith, and the second time he talked he said: "Robert, you're an icon, baby" and Brian began clapping, and then Stef, and then the three of them were clapping ....they looked soooo sweet i love them...

oh, and i also love The Cure, they're a great band

awww, i didn't see it. bet it was great tho

Review from the page:

WISH brings the eclecticism of KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME but pushes the emotions to radical extremes. Robert Smith's lyrics are more straightforward than ever before, using a style which will eventually burden some of his later work (IMHO). But it serves him well on WISH and the songs cut deeply. Some ("Open," "End," "Cut," "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea") are easily among the heaviest songs in the Cure catalogue. Probably the best line-up of Cures ever (and they were great live on this tour - Washington D.C.,'94). Like many of my favorite albums, WISH tells a story from beginning to end.

The breakdown:

"Open" - a nightmarish account of what could be a typical weekend night for a typical anti-social angst-ridden Cure fan. Sounds like an acid trip that becomes painfully introspective. Powerful stuff. *****

"High" - This exuberent slice of heaven is a radical departure from the previous track. One of the happiest songs from the Cure or anyone else. ****1/2

"Apart" - plunging once again into the depths of despair, this morose song chronicles the singer's disillusionment as the feelings about his relationship unravel. A beauty, the rhythm section is superb and Smith delivers one of his best guitar solos ever. *****

"From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea" - The star-crossed lovers of "Apart" take doses. Smith explores one of his major recurring themes, the futility of quenching desires. ****1/2

"Wendy Time" - Smith rejects another girl and further explores feelings of detachment. The tune is conversely upbeat and playful. ****1/2

"Doing the Unstuck" - This song represents a fantastic triumph over the drudgery of life. I find it truly inspiring. *****

"Friday I'm in Love" - an irresistable pop masterpiece even though it tritely recites the days of the week. A blast! *****

"Trust" - sweetly melancholy with a beautiful string section. ****

"A Letter to Elise" - another unsustainable relationship, another pop gem. Regardless of what you think of his voice, Robert's vocal melody is simply gorgeous here. *****

"Cut" - On "Cut," the tables have turned for Smith. This time it's his romantic interest who loses that lovin' feelin'. Smith rages through his feedback-laden guitar throughout this howling, harrowing cut. ****

"To Wish Impossible Things" - This sad dreamland sweetly sums up the album's theme of hopelessness in the face of transitional happiness. Wonderous and wonderful. ****1/2

"End" - a crushing testimonial about the pointlessness of life - Smith confesses to feeling only hollow and numb inside and that "giving up and going on are both the same dead end to me." This swirling miasma is a soul-shredding masterpiece and a shocking counterpoint to "Doing the Unstuck" with its message of hope. *****

An aside: Robert Smith has hinted that he might like to do another album trilogy like he did with Trilogy (DVD). If you haven't seen this back-to-back concert performance of PORNOGRAPHY, DISINTEGRATION and BLOODFLOWERS yet, log off NOW and check it out. Anyway, I think THE TOP, KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME and WISH would also make an excellent thematic trilogy.

Well, I like 'High' and 'Friday I'm In Love'! Classic!
