Our Take
Ah, The Cure, the masters of gloomy yet strangely euphoric tunes. This BBC Sessions compilation from 1979-1981 gives us a glimpse into the early days of the band, before they became the icons we know today. Kicking off with the brooding "10:15 Saturday Night," Robert Smith's haunting vocals immediately transport you to a dark, moody nightclub in the heart of London. The raw energy and passion in these live recordings are undeniable, making you feel like you're right there in the audience, swaying along to the music. Tracks like "Boys Don't Cry" and "A Forest" showcase The Cure's ability to create music that is both catchy and introspective, with Smith's poetic lyrics hitting you right in the feels. But it's not all doom and gloom with The Cure - "Jumping Someone Else's Train" and "Grinding Halt" bring a more upbeat, punky vibe to the album, showing off the band's versatility and range. Overall, The Cure BBC Sessions 1979-1981 is a must-listen for any die-hard fan of the band, as well as newcomers looking to delve into their early work. It's a time capsule of a band on the cusp of greatness, capturing the magic and intensity of their live shows in all its glory. So grab your leather jacket, swipe on some dark eyeliner, and immerse yourself in the darkly beautiful world of The Cure.
