Your "revised" Cure albums

tuneful_toad

If you're like me, with a band such as The Cure which puts out amazing b-sides, you've often thought that certain songs that didn't make the album should have, and certain ones that did make the cut shouldn't have.

For some time I've thought the Wish-era b-sides were the strongest The Cure have ever put out, so I recently put together my version of "Wish."

A1. Open
A2. Scared as You
A3. High
A4. This Twilight Garden
A5. Apart
A6. From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea
B1. Doing the Unstuck
B2. Play
B3. Trust
B4. The Big Hand
B5. Cut
B6. To Wish Impossible Things
B7. End

I think it flows extremely well and the second side is just to die for. Heck, so is the first side! This would rival Disintegration and Faith as The Cure's best album. From what I understand, Robert regrets not putting This Twilight Garden on Wish, and maybe he's said that about The Big Hand, I'm not sure.

Anyway, have any of you made your own 'revised' Cure albums?

This is an exercise that I'm pretty sure all of us do it from time to time.. And it can be just fun

First, I'm sure he regreted about 'The Big Hand' (well, at the beginning of Wish concept 'The Big Hand' was alligned to be there..) but didn't remember he felt the same for 'This Twilight Garden'.. It would be much better to have these two instead of 'To Wish Impossible Things' or 'Wendy Time', for example..

okay, my tracklist of this particularly album would be something like this:

A1. Open
A2. High
A3. Doing the Unstuck
A4. Apart
A5. Scared as You
A6. Trust
A7. Friday I'm in Love

and then the shivering side:

B1. This Twilight Garden
B2. From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea
B3. The Big Hand
B4. Play
B5. A Letter to Elise
B6. Cut
B7. End

As we have the self-titled discussion back on somewhere else...

Lost
Labyrinth
Anniversary
Before Three
Your God Is Fear
Us Or Them
This Morning
Fake
Never
Truth Goodness And Beauty
The Promise
Going Nowhere

This would have worked pretty good for me. Still far from that "most heaviest thing ever" Robert talked about on Trilogy DVDs but would have been a nice comeback after Bloodflowers. Please Come Home/A Boy I Never Knew excluded as they've never been officially released and are supposed to be on the next one.

There's a pretty big thread about this under Official titled B-side/album swap i think.

I've been obsessed with putting together my perfect tracklist for each album! It is really fun and interesting to hear your favorite albums in a new light.

Also trying out others track lists is fun too.
Check out that thread too, and welcome.

Just had a couple drinks, and listening to this. It does flow really well! Great listen, thanks for sharing. It really shows how good the songs written at this time are!

Can't wait for the Remaster!

tuneful_toad

Awesome, glad you liked it. I too can't wait for the remaster, mostly to get Wish on vinyl and to get lost wishes, which I've still never heard.
