Robert Smith was at his best when he was near suicidal. Real Cure fans cringe, whenever they hear “Friday I’m in Love,” “Wrong Number,” and “Why Can’t I be You.” It’s not that the Cure couldn’t pen some brilliant happy songs. “Love Cats,” “Caterpillar,” and “Just Like Heaven” are fine examples. But the moody depressing fare was much more identifiable. The most miserable of the miserable includes: Seventeen Seconds, Faith, Pornography, and Disintegration. I like them all. Whenever I feel down, I listen to one of those CDs and I think, “Man that dude is depressed.” It’s not like I feel instantly better, but misery likes company.
