4) Wish (1992)

It's hard to believe now, but when this album was released a small but vocal portion of fans felt it represented The Cure "selling out" for mainstream U.S. success. Fortunately, Wish's introduction of the band to a new generation of fans and critical recognition of how great a record it is ultimately squashed that narrative. A guitar record that harkens back to ideas explored on Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Wish shows a welcome maturation of The Cure's sound.
