EVERY album by the CURE - Tier List | 2024 Updated

1. *Three Imaginary Boys (1979)* - The band's debut is a mix of early punk with some post-punk influences. Though not a commercial hit initially, its quirky nature and tracks like 10:15 Saturday Night marked the beginning of their journey.

2. *Boys Don’t Cry (1980)* - This compilation of tracks from their debut and earlier singles became America’s introduction to The Cure. With tracks like Jumping Someone Else’s Train and *Killing an Arab*, it remains a fan favorite.

3. *Seventeen Seconds (1980)* - A darker, more atmospheric album, marked by *A Forest*, one of their most iconic tracks. This album solidified their signature sound, blending melancholy with an almost eerie sense of beauty.

4. *Faith (1981)* - Continuing the dark mood, this album includes the fan favorites Primary and *All Cats Are Grey*. It's a more focused follow-up to *Seventeen Seconds*, establishing a stronger identity for the band.

5. *Pornography (1982)* - A defining moment in the band’s career, Pornography was born from Robert Smith's depression and personal turmoil. This raw, intense album includes standout tracks like One Hundred Years and *The Hanging Garden*.

6. *Japanese Whispers (1983)* - A compilation of singles and B-sides from the post-*Pornography* era, Japanese Whispers includes hits like Let’s Go to Bed and *The Lovecats*, showcasing a lighter, more pop-oriented side of the band.

7. *The Head on the Door (1985)* - This album marked a shift towards a more accessible sound, with hits like In Between Days and *Close to Me*. It brought the goth community a more upbeat, yet still melancholic, vibe.

8. *Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987)* - The band's first platinum album, featuring singles like Just Like Heaven and *Why Can't I Be You?*. It's a more ambitious, varied album, blending pop with darker tones.

9. *Disintegration (1989)* - Widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time, Disintegration captured the essence of Smith’s emotional turmoil and the band’s matured sound. Tracks like Pictures of You*, *Lovesong*, and *Fascination Street remain among their best-loved works.

10. *Wish (1992)* - With tracks like Friday I’m in Love*, *High*, and *A Letter to Elise*, *Wish became a massive commercial success, even though it lacked the emotional depth of *Disintegration*.

11. *Wild Mood Swings (1996)* - This album divided fans and critics, with some viewing it as a lackluster, transitional record. Songs like The 13th and Mint Car did not resonate as strongly as earlier hits.

12. *Bloodflowers (2000)* - A more cohesive effort compared to Wild Mood Swings*, this album is somber and reflective, with tracks like *Maybe Someday and The Loudest Sound earning praise for their emotional depth.

13. *The Cure (2004)* - A self-titled album featuring songs like The End of the World and Taking Off*, *The Cure continued the band's exploration of their established sound, though it received mixed reviews compared to their earlier work.

14. *4:13 Dream (2008)* - This album, originally intended as a double album, is a patchy but intriguing return to form with tracks like The Only One and *Sleep When I’m Dead*. Some songs were strong, others less so.

15. *Songs of a Lost World (2024)* - Their first studio album in over 15 years, this is a darker, more atmospheric record reflecting Smith’s personal experiences, including the loss of his brother. While not as iconic as *Disintegration*, it’s a cohesive and haunting album, considered a strong late-career effort.

Live Albums and Compilations:
*Concert: The Cure Live (1984)* and *Show (1993)* showcase the band’s dynamic live performances.
*Standing on a Beach (1986)* and *Greatest Hits (2001)* serve as comprehensive best-of collections.
*Join the Dots: B-Sides and Rarities (2004)* is a must for fans, offering deep cuts and rare tracks from the band’s extensive catalog.
