listening to this right now. they played so many The Top songs in this summer tour, seeing them live this year was one of the few AMAZING things that happened this year.

Night time night timeSets my house on fireI'll turn into the melting manI'll lose my lifeTo feel I feel desire"

this results are whacked but i think ILM was in burn out mode from all the Cure polls at the time, we had poll after poll.
after listening right now:
The Empty World >>> Bananafishbones

don't think i would change my vote from up-thread: "Give Me it" but i could see voting differently today. also now one of my favorite Cure albums, never thought i would say that.

I still really love this era and the Japanese Whispers stuff. wasn't it around this time that Chris Parry gave Smith a bit of a lecture/pep-talk about doing too many drugs? the story is in Ten Imaginary Years I think. also isn't one of the songs pitched at slightly the wrong speed and it was sorted out on the reissue?

I love the way the drums are treated on 'The Empty World' ... that cavernous bottom end mixed with the relatively tighter sounding snare.
