The Cure – The Head On The Door

★★★☆☆ = Good!

Sounds like?

80s alt rock with a bit of jangle pop

Moods

A radio friendly cure record

Thoughts

a mediocre cure album with some standouts like 'six different ways' and 'close to me'. It's still the cure so even mediocre is great, there's something so timeless about their jangliness. Here there is a wistful love of life and exploring the world. Robert Smith has a knack for creating enjoyable pop.

The Fall – This Nation’s Saving Grace

★★★★☆ = Quality release and suggested listening

What’s it sound like?

Dive bar erudite rantings over raw distorted jangly 80s rock

Thoughts

Might just be the quintessential 80s post-punk album.
