Released in 1984, it marked a transitional moment for the band, with Robert Smith steering the group through jagged guitar rhythms, febrile atmospheres and off-kilter melodies. Songs such as ‘The Caterpillar’ brought a sharper, more accessible edge to the record, while the heavier opening tracks kept its darker нерв. Often seen as one of the more experimental entries in The Cure’s early catalogue, The Top helped set up the creative range that would define their later success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-cure\"\u003eThe Cure\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction Records – fixs9\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_uk\"\u003eUK\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1984\"\u003e1984\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/new-wave\"\u003eNew Wave\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/post-punk\"\u003ePost-Punk\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/psychedelic-rock\"\u003ePsychedelic Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEye Side\u003cbr\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+Shake+Dog+Shake\"\u003eShake Dog Shake\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+Bird+Mad+Girl\"\u003eBird Mad Girl\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+Wailing+Wall\"\u003eWailing Wall\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+Give+Me+It\"\u003eGive Me It\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+Dressing+Up\"\u003eDressing Up\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCross Side\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+The+Caterpillar\"\u003eThe Caterpillar\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+Piggy+In+The+Mirror\"\u003ePiggy In The Mirror\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+The+Empty+World\"\u003eThe Empty World\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+Bananafishbones\"\u003eBananafishbones\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Cure+The+Top\"\u003eThe Top\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Fiction Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51009133051969,"sku":"9536696","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/08e61cbde5c7b7ca74780e5e3c575fa85c84c8398863ab4bbd1c77fbbd22f6bc.jpg?v=1794380725","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/the-cure-the-top-394805","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
