The Head On The Door is the moment The Cure found the sweet spot between gloom and pop brilliance, and this UK import CD edition delivers all ten songs in one tidy package.
Released in 1985, the album followed a period of upheaval for Robert Smith and the band. Rather than retreat further into darkness, Smith wrote a set that embraced variety, colour and accessible melodies. It became their most successful album to that point, opening doors far beyond the post-punk crowd.
In Between Days bursts out with a bright acoustic strum and a racing bassline, one of the most irresistible singles of the decade. Close To Me is all hushed claps, breathy vocals and a playful, claustrophobic charm. Push charges forward on a wall of guitars, while A Night Like This aches with longing and a soaring sax solo.
Elsewhere, Kyoto Song and The Blood flirt with far-flung, exotic textures, showing just how adventurous the band had become without losing their emotional pull.
For anyone curious about how The Cure became one of alternative music's biggest names, this is an ideal place to begin. It is moody, catchy and endlessly replayable, a near-perfect balance of shadow and light that still sounds fresh today.
