This is gradually climbing up as one of my favourite opener/closer pairings

I guess I never mentioned this here but over the last decade or whatever this really grew on me as a real sleeper hit of an album. A couple songs are a bit odd but it's such a low key great album.

The only bad song I think here is screw, but it's not that bad and can be looked over.

A Night Like This didn't have to be that good and yet here it is in all its glory.

They played a lot off this album in Maryland too but A Night Like This is hitting different for me today.

It's one of their best songs. This was their pop direction perfected imo. Wish and kiss me have some hits for sure but they're not as thoroughly good as this.

First half of this and the closer are just so so good. Lotta shrapnel in the second half, but it's a cute album so we forgive

close to me -> a night like this

now thats what im talkin about

second half definitely has the only potential clunkers in "the baby screams" and "screw" but neither of them is really that offensive to me, in fact theyve been growin on me. 4.5 incoming

Close to Me is the best Cure song behind A Strange Day for me, though the best version of Close to Me is the single version with the added brass sections.

Really? Maybe it's because I first heard the song on Staring at the Sea/Standing on a Beach so it sounds empty without the brass when I listen to the album version.

definitely one of those cases where i think whatever you heard first sounds the most correct
