Query: Good the first time you listen to it.....

....but after that it just gets old. Sure, the instrumental work is good, and Robert Smith is a fine lyrics writer, but why listen to music if all it's going to do is depress you? The songs are WAY too long considering the fact that all that goes on in each of them is suicidal moping. I swear, if you listen to this CD all the way through you'll feel like killing yourself. If you want truly good music with a gothic edge buy Marilyn manson's Holywood album or Dusk and Her Embrace by Cradle of Filth. Sure, neither is pure Goth (Marilyn Manson has a big heavy metal influence and Cradle of Filth shows a large dab of black metal) but these two art pieces are alot more enjoyable than The Cure can ever hope to be.
