Such a taut little album. "Sinking" makes most of Disintegration a redundancy.

Whenever I get a can of soda from a soda machine, it feels like the opening of IBD when the can tumbles and drops.

“Close to Me” is my favorite Cure song after “A Forest”. Even the Paul Oakenfold remix is good.

"IBD" for me. "Love Cats" and "Let's Go To Bed" had felt like substantial hits here while I was still only half attentive to pop music. "When Doves Cry" marked the point where became actively interested so I was therefore primed for "In Between Days" feeling like an actual big event in real time.
Though they still seemed pretty weird to this 9 (?) year old. Faintly unsettling glow-in-the-dark faces. Lyrics that seemed, at that age, to want to be mistaken for nursery rhyme fodder. The keyboard and vocal melody similarly seemed kinda untutored and willfully stoopid. But that strummy guitar driving it all forward, OMGOMG, etc. I had a delayed "wait, actually, this is brilliant" moment. It basically served as my Indie Aesthetics 101, in other words lol.

xp Agree that "A Forest" is the best ever Cure song, second place for me is harder for me to decide

I'd vote for "Inbetween Days"
Amber&Alice would vote "Close to me" but "only the remix version" says Alice
