I remember listening to The Top, it was their first “happier” album after the trilogy Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography. I was thinking, whoa, where are the gloomy songs? Haha, still awesome, though.

I got into The Cure when I was 12 as well. Lots of their songs were playing on the radio at the time, like Close To Me and Inbetween Days. I through Robert Smith was the coolest human being alive 🙂
