Pornography (album)

Pornography (album)

Pornography is the fourth studio album by English alternative rock band The Cure. It was released on 3 May 1982, through Fiction Records.

Recorded with the group on the brink of collapse, Pornography represents the conclusion of the musical phase which began with Seventeen Seconds and Faith, and is generally considered The Cure's darkest album. Poorly received at the time of release, Pornography has gone on to gain acclaim and is considered an important milestone in the gothic rock genre.
