Pornography
(Elektra)
Release Date: 04/01/2005 12:00
Reviewed by Douglas Wolk
“I don’t even remember making a lot of Pornography,” Robert Smith has said; that may have something to do with the fact that the entire album is about contemplating suicide. It’s one long stare into the abyss, and horrifically intense: a slow whirlpool of bloodsucking guitars, with feel-bad hooks like “I will never be clean again.” The brilliant, winking final line: “I must fight this sickness/ Find a cure.”
