The Cure Discography -17- Albums - 320 Kbps -

Here is the complete list in chronological order:

That’s 14? Wait — some lists include different editions or split releases. Let me clarify:

Actually, counting official studio albums as recognized by the band and major music databases (e.g., AllMusic, Discogs), there are 14. But if your source says 17 albums, they may be including: The Cure Discography -17- Albums - 320 Kbps

To match 17 albums exactly, the set often includes:
Studio (14) + Japanese Whispers + Concert: The Cure Live + Mixed Up (or Join the Dots B-sides box). But strictly speaking, studio albums = 14.

Note: Some trackers count 14–17 albums depending on inclusions like “Join the Dots” (B-sides) or live albums. The above are all core studio LPs. To reach 17, add:
15. Boys Don’t Cry (1980 – comp, often listed as album)
16. Japanese Whispers (1983 – singles/B-sides)
17. Mixed Up (1990 – remix album) Here is the complete list in chronological order:

That is almost certainly copyright infringement. I’d strongly advise against downloading it, as:

Marketed as the third part of a trilogy with Pornography and Disintegration. This album is slow, sad, and incredibly dynamic. It relies on massive swells of synth and quiet verses. The title track creeps for seven minutes. With 320 Kbps, the transition from the quiet, breathy vocal to the crushing wall of guitar is seamless. Low bitrate files crush the crescendo into a flat line. That’s 14

No official retailer sells a pre-packaged “17 albums in 320 MP3” bundle under that exact name. That naming is typical of pirate releases. To replicate it legally:

The closest official compilation is The Cure: The Albums 1979–2024 — not yet released as a complete box set at the time of writing.

Before the makeup and the hair, The Cure were minimalist post-punkers. This debut is raw, angular, and unapologetically British. Tracks like "10:15 Saturday Night" (with the iconic dripping tap) and "Boys Don't Cry" (later added to US versions) are captured best at 320 Kbps, where the bass rattle and the silence between notes create the band's early claustrophobic atmosphere.
