Cureuphoria

Have you ever actually thought about listing down – just for the sake of dumb statistics – the band’s studio albums… by decade?

Well, don’t know why, but for some unknown reasons, I just did.

Not that the list has striked me with awe, but I find the result of such an exercise somehow interesting.

I didn’t put the live albums and compilations in the list, with the exception of Japanese Whispers, because I consider it more of an album than a compilation, actually (even if, yeah, technically…).

And yes, I put Three Imaginary Boys in the 70s, since it was released in 1979, but omitted Boys Don’t Cry, since it’s nothing else than a re-arranged version of Three Imaginary Boys, isn’t it?

So, to cut it down to the point, here’s what the list looks like…

The 70’s

1 album

• Three Imaginary Boys

The 80’s

8 albums

• Seventeen Seconds
• Faith
• Pornography
• Japanese Whispers
• The Top
• The Head On The Door
• Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
• Disintegration

The 90’s

2 albums

• Wish
• Wild Mood Swings

The 2010’s

3 albums (’til now…)

• Bloodflowers
• The Cure
• 4:13 Dream

Now, by scanning the list, you can really notice the huge difference of activity between decades, and it’s not a big surprise that the 80s is the most prolific decade in terms of studio activity (and not only, I reckon), but what happened to the 90s?

Even the 2010s – which are still running – beats already the previous decade up (and luckly for us, I should add…).

Still, the strange thing to me, is that I feel the 90s are the years in which my love for The Cure built up and grew without ever stopping.

Well, as I said, the 2010s are not over yet, and I really hope that by the end of it the band will release at least another album, which by the way is already ready… Right?
