With regard to Max's post, I guess it depends on what one think the function of an "album" should be.
I prefer to view an album as 1 big piece of art rather than a collection of 10 different art pieces. or else, what's the point of releasing an album? it would be more relevant to release 10 singles. Think that in this day and age of MP3s and downloads, the art of the album have sadly been lost. we are listening to songs that we want and skipping the songs that the artist find relevant to put in the album.
And becoz stuff like Daydream Nation is such amazing listen from start to finish, I don't think I'll mind a single bit if they play a whole gig based on that album!
But hey, I do agree some of The Cure's stuff are a bit iffy!
