About the Album

The harrowing conclusion to The Cure's 'dark trilogy' — a claustrophobic, overwhelming descent into noise and despair, recorded at a time of intense personal and band crisis. Pornography stands as one of the darkest, most visceral albums in rock history and is a landmark of gothic and post-punk.

Created during intense personal and internal band strain, Pornography pushed the group toward maximal density, noise, and emotional extremity. It concluded the early trilogy of Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and Pornography.
