Foxey!! Bummer they took out some good songs- what about artistic freedom of expression? Censorship is way worse than risk of offending the jihad.
It's a start

My first exposure to the Cure came in 1980 with Seventeen Seconds, so when I went back and bought this release, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Object is a great song, and Another Day and the title track would hint at things to come. The rest of this release however is an interesting slice of history, but nothing all that great. The Cure would release nothing like this again.
Great album that took me a while to get into.

The Cure is my favorite band. This is not an album I would listen to regularly. This and Wild Mood Swings would usually get pushed aside for most of the rest of their discography. I didn't fully appreciate this album until the band did their "Reflections" shows where they did this, Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and a lot of the B-sides. from that era of the band. Someone had recorded the first show in Sydney Australia, and I downloaded it, and somehow got hooked on it. It is now one of my favorites. Other than Meathook, the album is flawless. Meathook is dumb.
I need this on vinyl now.

My favorite cure album so far. I've only heard three, but this one takes the cake for me. I simply love it. Makes me wonder why not many people talk about this album when I bring up the cure. Seems like everyone only know the hits like "Friday I'm in love" Which are my least favorite cure songs with the exception of "Just like Heaven". I say give this album a listen.
Great Reissue except...

Besides the original songs on the album it is great to hear the demo versions and how the songs developed. But I am disappointed that they removed "Killing An Arab". I guess it was viewed as controversial even though if you know the background of the song it isn't anti-arab. It is a shame. It is the best song on the album.
The best.

It's been a long time since I've had this on vinyl, but I thought Killing an...(I'll be PC here) was on this album. It's not in iTunes at all. I guess it might have become too contraversial, but was it removed from the album? Or I guess it could have been on another album, but I don't think so. Anyway, loved The Cure then and they still rock!

The Cures debut album is a mixture of songs. Some songs are straight post punk like (It's Not You and Grinding Halt) but there is also songs that use the music moods and lyrics to setup imagery (Another Day, Fire in Cairo and Three Imaginary Boys). This album shows hints or is a prelude to what The Cure are trying to achieve artistically.
