Featuring what many consider to be the classic Cure line-up of Robert Smith, Porl Thompson, Lol Tolhurst, Simon Gallup and Boris Williams, 1985s The Head On The Door was described by Spin magazine as a 1985 poptopian tour de force. Across the albums ten, Robert Smith penned songs, the bands sixth studio opus walks a balance between the Cure's pop sensibilities with In Between Days and Close To Me, with the more gothic The Blood and Kyoto Song. It was described by Uncut as "magnificently realised".
