Seventeen Seconds

No not good creepy and not my vibe

A nice short album. I like The Cure but I’m picky about which of their songs I like, this album isn’t really it for me. Fav song is ‘Seventeen Seconds’.

The vocal seemed almost turned down low. Overall was not something I would listen to again.

no es para mí

i’ve always had a complicated feeling for the Cure music, it wants to be Duran Duran, The Cars and cyndi lauder with a mysterious flare. just can’t get on board.

Alright enough is enough. Out of the last 14 albums, three have been The Cure. One was OK, the other I was bored to tears, but regardless isn't this a bit much? This was the most boring of the three, so one star it is. I thought The Cure had a bunch of hits, but in three albums, I've heard maybe 2 or 3 songs I recognize. The rest sound mostly the same.

Not for me

Really liked the first album this though did not

Única canción interesante The Forest y otra más que es olvidable de todas formas. Si vas a hacer interludios que sean mínimamente interesantes.

17 seconds is about as much as I could handle of this whingey tripe. The fact that these are popular in the cultural desert across the Atlantic tells a sorry story

I was a bad goth. Robert Smith was too whiny for me.

Not my thing at all

I guess I liked this more than "Pornography," but man The Cure is not for me. Robert Smith sounds like he's mid turd-push with tears in his eyes, and this weird spooky halloween-goth-rock just sounds mediocre at best to me. Did not add a single track to my liked songs playlist.

1.3/5 I've heard a few of the cure's songs and i really like what I've heard so I was excited to listen to this album. I was severely disappointed. It was slow and uninteresting with no real "hits". I'm hoping there are some more Cure albums on this list and they can restore my faith in them.

A Forest is good, but the rest of.the album is so minimal that it's just boring.

I found it quite drab, the forest is the only song that connected

i liked maybe two songs but i barely enjoy it. maybe i just wasnt in the right vibe for it

Eu adoro música gótica mas não consigo aguentar The Cure. Eles soam muito pretensioso, parece que acha que estão fazendo um grande mousse mas na verdade a maioria das músicas são entediantes, poucas se salvam. E para piorar a voz do vocalista é muito irritante. Apesar de terem uma música ou outra nesse álbum que eu acabei gostando, sinceramente não ouviria de novo. As músicas da banda são ótimas para trilhas sonoras de filmes mas é uma chatice de escutar principalmente com a voz do Robert Smith.

This album is so hard for me to get through. I listen to a previous cure album and wasn’t that big of a family. This album wasn’t even like the previous album. Think I’m just not the audience for this is not typically listen to I don’t wanna be too hard on it, but if you don’t have to listen to the skip it.

Inaudible lyrics and repetitive tone made for a rather unpleasant listen. Reminded me of a horror movie backing track rather than an album of standalone music to be listened to for pleasure. Again, not my cup of tea but appreciate the opportunity to listen to something I would have otherwise not come across.

Maybe because I'm not a depressed teen goth in the mid 80's on the west coast, but this one really didn't hit. Atonal, arythmic, and just anti-social. Did not enjoy the lyrics or the music really. Just kind of a wet bleeding out of an album. Which I guess was the intention behind it, but just not one for me.

Not my cup of tea. All very boring.

This album is simply not my jam.

Wish I liked it more than I did

Wasn’t feeling it. I like alternative but not this album

T7 liking this one, sounds more like the cure when they had a lot of their more popular songs and hits in the following decade. I put this on and I’m in the car with my mom and she’s seen the curr in concert like a dozen times and said this album is like the cure on heroin and not a great representation of the whole discography of the band. Definitely not what I expected from an album by them. Not a lot of memorable hooks. There was like 1 I remember well. I listened only once and think I’m gonna rate it after only one listen, prob j gonna clump it into the other 2 stat albums but from what I remember easily could go the other way.

sadly, this didn’t really work for me….

hindi ko bet, naiingayan ako...

Ich kriege mich hier nicht konzentriert bzw. plätschert es mir zu sehr dahin.

What is this dreadful music? I admit I've never listened to the cure before, although my ex used to rave about them. I should've known it'd be hot garbage... She had as much taste as a tongueless amoeboid with long covid. I'm told this is supposed to be clever and artistic, but honestly it just makes me want to drive a pickaxe through my eye socket. It's not just boring, it's also terrible!

I hate this shit fuckass music. Sing normal u freak. fuck the cure fuck the smiths and fuck anything else that sounds like this shit. Arctic Monkeys can fuck off too cause why not. (Skipped this album after 20 seconds)

This was such a terrible album, it was rambling, uncoordinated and a very bad listen

now now, don't be wasting my time like this

I'm pretty sure the person who mixes this did it in their parents garage. Was pretty bored while listening to it so I think there might be a reason I wasn't familiar with this album. Ended up half hearing it while reading then sat down to listen to it with Garret and started playing on my phone.

This just drones on and on and on and on and on. There isn't much here to say besides just being surprised at how boring this album was to listen to.

Not for me. dark gothic ambient sounding music that didn’t hit home.

BUTT. God this band sucks so bad. There songs r absolutely nothing. Liked the cover but wow I really don’t like this band

The Cure is one of those bands where if you have heard 4-5 of their songs, you’ve basically have heard the depth of all the music they’ve ever made. They are U2 for mopey people. This album is as deep as a kiddie pool.

Man their early stuff stinks

I always expect The Cure to be better than they actually are. Maybe I'm just not emo enough to enjoy it. Anyway, Robert Smith has had some really good tunes over the years, but not really from this album. When the greatest hits compilation only features one lonely song from this album, you know it was a dud. Oh, and they even shortened that one just to add it. "A Forrest", will make my playlist, but it's not great. This dark post-punk album is not for me.

Hat sich gezogen und war langweilig

Opening song is a bit tame "Play For Today": cool bassline, fun guitar playing, upbeat drumming. Nothing really happens in the song Ugh, this album just isn't for me it's a bit boring, and the vocalist is a bit whiney "A Forest" is fine, more dynamic song, understandable that this is the most popular song Will likely never listen to this album again 🤷

Not this crap again

Again, no hits. I get it; this is the breakthrough (sort of) album that is the godfather of emo/goth rock. But it's neither the best of emo/goth rock nor the best of the Cure.

The song that defines an era. Unexpectedly boring.

freaky. makes me feel like im in a horror movie? maybe listen to again and see what i think (i kinda needed some wham! hype and only listened one - then again maybe me not wanting to listen again is a sign)

1/5 At the end of the day, none of the tracks were all that interesting.

One song almost got this album out of "aggressively dull" and into "dull as dishwater." Boring.

emo. disorienting. wypipo.

Did not enjoy!

Chato

Not for me. Very samey

Once again…nope.

It’s a nope from me too

Will probably never listen to this on my own ever again. If a song comes up on shuffle, it won't get skipped, but I got my five songs I liked from it and I'm happy with that. Not too much to say about this album, I just didn't enjoy my time with it.

Look, I like The Cure and I’m a big fan of Robert Smith personally, but… what the fuck is this? Two halves of actual songs and the rest is like they laid down an idea for a track, didn’t add anything else and then just left it?!! I know that is literally the story behind one of the tracks but… surely just finish it first?! Absolutely Dreadful.

Cure - pretty crap

The first bit of this album is truly terrible. Things got a little better starting with "A Forest" throughout the end of the (traditional) album. I didn't listen to the deluxe portion. 1.5/5

Why were the vocals so low? I strained to hear them that eventually I said I didn’t care

Not a fan. No memorable songs. Bland. 1001 album worthy: No - 11/23

I have liked their other entries on the list and think they deserved a spot but this album is a total skipper from the Cure for me. Slow and lacked substance. The album cover sums it up and as I looked out my office window on this foggy day I felt bored and melancholic. Maybe that was goal for the album as he band is the epitome of goth boy depression. Not a must listen, more of a must have caffeine after listening...0.9.

Not a huge fan of this album. The instrumentals didn't click with me and I didn't love a lot of the creative choices. Good band, bad showing. Fav Track: A Forest

Levy alkaa muutaman minuutin tyhjäkäynnillä. Kun laulaja aloittaa valituksensa, mitä hänellä onkaan sanottavana? "Wait for something to happen." Niinpä.

I'm not the biggest Cure fan ever, but I found this one kinda tough to get into. The layering that I've come to expect from the Cure seemed absent.

I feel so depressed now... I think I could play a couple of those songs by pressing the Tempo button on my old Casio keyboard.

Eh, sort of just meandered. No real stand out moments. Is there other cure albums on here? Because I know there is better than this

Guys, I really don't like this one. I'm trying to stay awake and alert during work, not fall asleep. The song 'M' is okay ig!

Hated it

Do you like songs where you can barely hear someones voice? That's what their songs are, and I don't like it. I like the instruments, but his voice is too soft for how loud the instruments are. Also there are barely any lyrics. So that is why you should NOT listen to this album.

Terrible. Sounds like a garage band in need of practice. Irritable sound and totally forgettable.

Boring, just slow tempo songs with catchy guitar. The last 2 songs are at least listenable in an album setting- 1 star, if I gave Jimmy smith 2 stars, then this is much worse.

Not my bag. Can’t really deal with Robert Smith’s voice. Pretty whiney. Like the Smiths for goth kids. I wish the album title was apt to the length of the record. Would prefer to never listen to this again.

Feel kind of "meh" about this album. It feels like the songs are half done, more like demos...a work in progress.

This was uninteresting at best.

Péssimo!

30 minutes I will never get back of my life. If you need an album to watch the paint dry, this is it.

Nah, Seventeen Seconds is crap too, miserable moody 80s shit with no redeeming qualities, awful vocals, the worst of the decade. 1 again.

Dreary - not really my thing I think.

More pish from the Cure.

I really just don't enjoy this genre of sad 80s UK pop rock.

Not for me ..

Rather boring…

mid fr

Vereinzelt gibt es meiner Meinung nach hervorragende Songs von The Cure. Forrest ist so eine tolle Nummer mit der typischen Stimme von Robert Smith. Also kann ich mit einem Greatest Hits Album sehr gut leben. Aber ein reguläres Album wie Seventeen Seconds ist schlichtweg langweilig, nichts Besonderes, kaum einen Höhepunkt. Schade

Crap

This was a drag, man. The songs are all so down-tempo. The lyrics aren't really engaging at all. Feels almost like a parody of itself. It's not aggressively bad like heavy metal or something, but you almost forget it's on as it's playing. It didn't give me a headache, but I still think this earns one star. Nothing's really going on here.

Resent this album. Very creepy

If I wanted to listen to a rotund goth cry about how hard life is I wouldn't have cancelled my wedding

Thoroughly shit

Great lyrics. Sound sucks

Not a cure fan.

Not for me

Not really my style

Did not like it at all, lyrics are not for me. Surprised they are not a 1 hit wonder band.

Julmaa pilaa tältä parhaat 1000 albumia poimia lähes päivittäin brittipoprock-levyjä? Vai koostuuko koko lista 90% vain näistä? Ei jäänyt mikään erikoisesti mieleen, varmasti tulee kuunneltua esim. radiosta, mutten valitse Curea omalle kuuntelulistalle. Mielummin kuuntelen lenkillä äänikirjaa kun tätä.

A pretty boring album.... For most of the songs you could barely even hear the vocals or make out what the singer is saying.

The Cure have never really been my cup of tea and unfortunately this album solidified that for me. I didn’t even notice it had started replaying as it was very one note. Favourite: A Forest Least: any instrumental track

boring

Terrible

10/19/23. Only know a couple Cure songs but this album didn't do it for me. Felt it was slow, repetitive, and uninspiring. A lot of boring instrumentals. Luckily, it's pretty short and didn't ruin my day off!

Well Track 3 sounded like the pre-made track in a cheap keyboard with someone in the next room whispering over it... Boring.

Average. Who's picking these? It was so boring.

Cat: just about as boring as can be.

Vocals were hard to hear. He sounded the same on almost every song. Some of the music was creative. It was very clear that this was a Cure album.

Unohdettavaa kikkailua.. Luulin kuulokkeet taas kaapeli rikki.. niin kuin onkin.. uusi kaapeli ostossa.m eräs kappale.. JEKUTUSTA... jahas...... liitäntä pitää.. super liima... vaan ei pidä hermot... SAATANAN KUSIPÄÄT.. YKKÖSTÄ EI OLLUT MIKÄÄN "PARANNUS" Tämä asia..

Not feelin this. Realizing I really only like just like heaven by them

Do not like the cure.

Just 1980’s goth music. Not for me

The music wasn't interesting enough to be a good instrumental and the vocals are wag too low in volume so it just doesn't work for me

M es bien

1/10 this is so boring

Not My cup tea. Hørte hare noen sanger

Me gusta The Cure pero este álbum es muy primitivo, con un sonido plano, instrumentales aburridos, y cuando aparece una canción ya estás tristemenrte dormido. Parece que hubiesen estado consumiendo droga de mala calidad.

i fucking hate this

Shit album from a shit band.

couldnt care less

soooooooooo boring

My mascara started running, I think I got too much hair spray in my eye.

Meh

boring slept

Boooring

Nawt my cup of ☕️

God. I hate the Cure. They are just miserable to listen to. I can't imagine being so depressed that this is appealing. Must be a horrible existence.

Personally it came across as pretty meandering to be honest.

Worse than average.

Really dreary and boring. Almost put me to sleep.

Crazy disappointing album. Half the thing is basically crappy instrumentals and the other has lyrics but whenever there are lyrics you can't even hear them. Was looking forward to this one too... 1/10.

Snoooooooooze! This album was so boring. No interesting songs. I kept thinking we were about to go into Whip It by DIVO.

I hated this album.

+ M

Fine for background, but I might change it.

Not my favorite type of music, it was like the genre punk which is not my bread and butter!

I've never listened to the Cure. This should be interesting.

I don't really like it. The voice of the vocalist doesn't catch my attention, and the music itself just sounds so simple, boring even. I mean, I have no problem with simplicity, but to me it's just not very enjoyble. Altough it's not my cup of tea, I'm sure that someone who likes this kind of music, will like this album as well.

Not bad

Definitely feeling the strings (guitar and bass) action. A lot of mellow vibes. I can see how this made the list.

Takes me back to my youth!

7/10
