Title: The Cure at the height of their game.....kinda
Product review: 1985's 'The Head On The Door' is often said to be The Cure's poppiest, some dare say best album. Those people were wrong. 'Inbetween Days' starts the party in full pop swing, with a fast-paced acoustic melody and bouncy keyboards. 'Close To Me' starts with a very dancy drum beat and builds up with even more danceable delight. 'Kyoto Song' with it's far-eastern influences is a dark piece to say the least and 'Sinking,' the album's closer with its Disintegration-esque keyboard sound, is just plain heart-breaking.Pop fans should listen closely; the album is chocked full of dark subject matters. Pop fans listen again; this album is filled with great hooks and lots of variety. While not as much of a mixed bag as their follow-up, 'Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me', 'The Head On The Door' is a bouncy, uneven schizophrenic affair. A very listenable and enjoyable schizophrenic affair.
