This is a fantastic album, a masterpiece by itself. It is considered to be the pinnacle of the dark trilogy, which includes seventeen seconds and faith. I myself, find this to be one of my favorites albums of post punk genre, and my favorite of The cure.
Often cited as The Cure's darkest album, its opening lyrical line is "It doesn't matter if we all die".
Despite the fact that very few critics in the British press gave the album a favourable review, Pornography charted well in the UK and has gained much more respect over the years, to the point that it is now considered one of the key gothic rock albums of all time.
Pornography is also the last Cure album to feature founding band member Lol Tolhurst as the band's drummer; He became the band's keyboardist, and this also marks the first time he played keyboards on a release by The Cure.
The album's artwork is the first in The Cure's output not to feature the logo for the group's name which was used on their previous releases.
In 2002, The Cure performed Pornography live in its entirety, along with Disintegration and Bloodflowers, as part of the Trilogy concerts.
