For a band that`s known worldwide as the premier purveyors of goth-rock gloom and doom (though hardly incapable of sparkling pop gems), it`s no small thing to identify a particular album as their darkest, most disturbing sonic statement. Nevertheless, PORNOGRAPHY surely fills the bill. Reportedly created during a time of great psychological upheaval for group leader Robert Smith, it`s a gloriously no-holds-barred existential angst-fest, from the very first line, "It doesn`t matter if we all die." Not since Leonard Cohen`s SONGS OF LOVE AND HATE had despair been so lovingly ladled into album form, but it`s not just Smith`s Prozac prescription that was upped during these sessions. His lyrical approach expanded as well, incorporating more stream-of-consciousness poetic imagery. And the rhythmic attack of bassist Simon Gallup and drummer Lol Tolhurst reached new heights of propulsiveness and viscerality as well, whether pounding out a churning syncopation on "The Hanging Garden" or delivering the heavy-hammered nail in the coffin on "A Short Term Effect."
