The Cure - The Head On The Door flac album

The Head on the Door is the sixth studio album by English alternative rock band the Cure, released in August 1985 on record label Polydor. Preceded by the single "In Between Days" which had reached No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart, The Head on the Door was described by Melody Maker as "a collection of pop songs", while PopMatters declared that it defined alternative rock. With its variety of styles, it allowed the group to reach a wider audience in both Europe and North America.

In 2000, Pulse wrote The Head On The Door (and their next album) introduced a phantasmagorical wide-screen-pop approach to match Smith’s fevered lyrical imagination, establishing the vibrant duality of wrenching angst and playful silliness that has served the group well ever since.

In 1986, Robert Smith told The East Village Eye: Around the time of Pornography and The Top, I was pretty muddled, but The Head On The Door was readily only influenced by an immense consumption of beer. When we made The Head On The Door, I just knew instinctively that we were making what was going to be popular music. The sound was really vibrant, the band was really good. It was so easy, the recording sessions, everything happened first take.

After recording one of their darkest albums, 1984's The Top, the Cure regrouped and shuffled their lineup, which changed their musical direction rather radically. While the band always had a pop element in their sound and even recorded one of the lightest songs of the '80s, "The Lovecats," The Head on the Door is where they become a hitmaking machine. The shiny, sleek production and laser-sharp melodies of "Inbetween Days" and "Close to Me" helped them become modern rock radio staples and the inspired videos had them in heavy rotation on MTV.
