ReviewsRanked #24 in The NME "Top 30 Heartbreak Albums" - "...Fueled by LSD, it is a dense, unrelenting wall of ugly noise...", 5 stars out of 5 - "Smith's unearthed demos and live tracks from this period do not prepare you for the pure shock and awe of PORNOGRAPHY. Even today, nothing can.", 4 stars out of 5 - "This goth milestone brings the heaviness of metal without its clichés. Smith wails, guitars blare and drums pound in an echo-laden maelstrom of decay and loathing...", "A druggy steel-cage match between death-disco drums and tarnished hooks that's somehow still fun to shimmy to.", "Where All Aspiring New-Wavers Go to Study Enunciation.", "The Cure allowed their deep drug and alcohol abuse feed into the seamy tone and the lyrical themes of depression and personal anguish...", Included in Q Magazine's Best Gothic Albums Of All Time - "...something uniquely, irresistibly nasty....It made sense of the abject horror of those mock A levels."
