Relatively-weak, compared to the rest of their catalog (and not terribly representative of said catalog in general)? Sure, maybe. Doofily catchy and stupid? Yeah, okay, I disagree, but I can see it.
But it's just... difficult to imagine anyone feeling strongly about this one.
The only person who I can see hating this song is someone who denies anyone access to his hard, darkened soul -- lest he feel the feelings we call life -- in return for an existance lived in the shadows of the loving light of tears and laughter and humanity, always shunning the slightest prick of consciousness, "which only," he believes in his mind, "will lead to heartache, and then what other option but death?"
I'M SICK OF ALL THIS RELEVANT INFORMATIVE SPORTS-RELATED INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM! GO BACK TO POSTING DICK PICS AND BATHROOM SEX VIDEOS SO I CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THOSE INSTEAD!
Skeevs, my man, you are nailing these. I'm actually shocked how far we've made it without a total throw down.
ReplyDeleteYou HATE this one? Really?

DeleteHoly shit. Wait. MARV IS ROBERT SMITH?!?!
I actually HATE their music in general. Sorry guys, after further review, the ruling stands.
DeleteMarv, I love your hate. "I'd kill myself for you. I'd kill you, for myself."

When I was in high school in the late 80's/early 90's, we referred to the goth kids as "Cure fans."

ReplyDelete"Hey Deadspin, stick to sports reporting, which is neither your stated purpose nor what you are known for."
DeleteI'm kind of shocked there isn't more bitching on this one so far.
DeleteObviously, you haven't looked at the replies to my comment.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how many of these idiots will read the first four words and then fire off a reply.
Delete"Well, I never... read a single thing that wasn't Cliff's Notes or SparkNotes or a Wikipedia entry precis!"
DeleteHilarious.
