*glass breaks*

>>69801388
Favorite album of all time.

I have the DVD where the band played all of Pornography, Disintegration, and Bloodflowers and I swear they kept playing the glass shattering sound every 15 seconds or so on the title track.

>>69802240

The title track is the best song off that record.

>>69802259

It's not my favorite but I think the album never dips below an 8/10, even in its worst moments, so fuck it. Aside from maybe Lullaby, any song can be best song.

>>69802259
It's impossible to pick a best song from that album.

>>69802278
Lullaby is great, the one i can't stand is Pictures of You, that one and Boy's Don't Cry are everywhere, can't stand it anymore.

>>69802278
What's wrong with Lullaby? It's a catchy and fun song.

My favorite would be either Pictures of you or Closedown.

GET SO FUCKIN DARK IN HERE AH

Lullaby is fine as a song but it's the only one that doesn't really fit the theme of the album. Kinda feels like a KMKMKM leftover. Pictures of You at least fits the theme of the album. The presence of a song has never factored into things for me though since I only intentionally listen to stuff I like and block out most everything else. The concept of being "overplayed" is nigh foreign to me.

>>69802359

Lullaby totally fit the aesthetic of that record, it's pretty dark.

prayers for rain best song

>>69802432

Aesthetic, perhaps. The sound is in step with the others. The general theme of the album is that of trying (and failing) to keep a fading relationship together, with the back half of the album almost playing out like a straightforward narrative. in the middle of all these lovesick tunes though is a soft horror tale of a spiderman haunting someone's dreams. That might have some relevance on a symbolic level or something but at face value it's a bit off from every other song on the album thematically. Still a nice little bit of spooky, psychedelic pop but if you put a gun to my head and told me to cut one song from Disintegration or die, Lullaby's taking the hit.

Pick one

>upbeat cure
>goth cure

Goth, all day every day. Disintegration, Pornography, Faith and Bloodflowers are their great albums.

>>69802627
they are.
but I surely can't decide which "phase" I like more

Goth hands down, but their pop tunes are god-tier and you can't deny it.

The Walk, The Dream, Lovecats, Why Can't I Be You?! GOAT!

>It doesn't matter if we all die

great line to start an album

>>69802669

I do think The Top/Japanese Whispers is their most intriguing point. Not necessarily the best but the one to look at and think "huh, that's neat". That material sounds very much like the awkward but underacknowledged transition from goth to pop that it realistically is. It makes it make sense that the same band that gave us Pornography also gave us Head on the Door.

>>69802734
I was actually freaking out a little when first heard the Blood.
But, damn, Smith is good. HotD is strangely eclectic and kinda weird, but it works.

>>69801388
Disintegration is my fav song of all time, it gives me goosebumps the way robert sings with all that passion, such a masterpiece.

>>69802240
that one's called trilogy i think, pretty cool concert, i remember when they came to chile, they played over 3 hours.
