Cover your face as the animals die - it's The Cure Pornography Poll!!

i know it isn't, but "the figurehead" is a metal song

it and Siamese Twins and this whole album are the heaviest music made

what the hell is up with the drum sound on this record, it sounds like a rhythm box recorded from the othe rend of a long hallway

that's pretty much it afaik - I think they used a Linn drum to get the oppressive rhythm on some tracks

I mean it's great for what it is, but part of me craves hearing these songs with, like, really well recorded toms

bro, do you even like 1982 new wave records?

^^^ this lol

I want it seething with compression and dry ice, the vocals and guitars mangled into a flat roar, it's fucking Pornography dude

xxp lol yes, it just took me aback after not hearing it for many years

in the end I do prefer e.g. 23 Skidoo's Seven Songs w/r/t 1982 drum soundz

The drum sound makes this record IMO

A Tim's Twitter Listening Party on this album is happening as I type and now I have learned something new, or at least seen it for the first time:

The start of the infamous " Beer sculpture " We kept every can or bottle we drank making Pornography until the end. This looks to be about day 4, we were there for a long time... #TimsTwitterListeningParty pic.twitter.com/49DVhUp291
