Also, the first five songs on the Cure's Disintegration are fucking perfect. Followed very closely by the first five on OK Computer.

 

[Irishteen]

Also, the first five songs on the Cure's Disintegration are fucking perfect.

If by first five you mean last 6, I agree

Actually about 9-10 songs on that albums are perfect

 

[UberBeaver]

Nah, I think Plainsong is the best album opener ever, and then Pictures of You and Closedown just rock the shit.

 

[Irishteen]

Nah, I think Plainsong is the best album opener ever, and then Pictures of You and Closedown just rock the shit.

Closedown is the second weakest song on the album to me but it's still so great. Honestly it has to be the best album ever

 

[UberBeaver]

Closedown is the second weakest song on the album

STOP SMOKING ALL THE CRACK COCAINE! It's making you say crazy shit. And yeah, it is the greatest album ever.

 

[corianderstem]

Nah, I think Plainsong is the best album opener ever,

It's not one of my favorite albums ever, but I could listen to the opening of Plainsong over and over and make this face the whole time:

 

[Irishteen]

STOP SMOKING ALL THE CRACK COCAINE! It's making you say crazy shit. And yeah, it is the greatest album ever.

I still think it's a great song; honestly it's basically a 9/10 song but on disintegration, it isn't as good as the rest.

Know what other non-single from the album is ridiculously fantastic? The title track.

Is one of the best.

Yep. Born To Run's second half > its first half

 

[Lancemc]

Burn Under Punches

And then it gets ruined with the turgid trite that is Put It Behind You....


I still reckon the first 5 songs off The Queen Is Dead is pretty hard top top. Quite special....

 

[Zoots]

And then it gets ruined with the turgid trite that is Put It Behind You....

Yeah, Put It Behind You is not as good. But I do like a couple of tracks towards the end like Crystal Ball and Try Again. And I don't mind the 2 following ones either, although they're not as good as that 6 song streak!
