The first Cure album is still their best. It seems like that's the case for many groups.

They've always denied it but the cover is Robert Smith without his makeup.

...plenty sounded like this in 1979 in UK. Few still sound good today though. I recall as a student that Cure caused a furure with their song Killing An Arab offending a number of the Student Left wingers across the country. Ha, so tame now. I preferred the Cure before Goth was applied as their label. My 5 year old loves A Forest.

Killing and Arab's a brilliant song (haven't really thought about it's political correctness or otherwise) - I thought it was based on Camus' The Outsider' where the scene on the beach is a critical moment in his existential wranglings... Having a Cure revival right now. Agree they looked and sounded much better before they became Goth

Great early Cure song. It's almost two different bands, then and now. Both awesome.
