Does it slightly irritate anyone that both the “fan trilogy” (17S/Faith/Porno) and RS’s trilogy (Porno/Dis/BF) all end with their respective title tracks, apart from Disintegration, with it appearing as track 10?

Hell, even Three Imaginary Boys and The Top end with their title tracks!

Then you have the slightly more obscure ones...

Wish - I guess this one comes in the form of To Wish Impossible Things (“And all I wish is gone away”)
The Head On The Door - Title taken from a line in Close To Me
KMKMKM - Title taken from a line in The Kiss

And then WMS, The Cure and 4:13 Dream don’t have anything referencing a title track all. That’s kind of annoying too.

Kind of like when Tool decided on 10,000 Days and broke the one word album title pattern.

For the ones that count:

Three Imaginary Boys - ends with Three Imaginary Boys
Seventeen Seconds - ends with Seventeen Seconds
Faith - ends with Faith
Pornography - ends with Pornography
The Top - ends with The Top
Disintegration - ends with Untitled
Bloodflowers - ends with Bloodflowers

I dunno, I like uniformity lol.

Maybe I'm not as big a fan as I thought I was, but what does this mean? Are those albums generally the fans' favorites vs Smith's personal favorites?

RS thinks Pornography/Disintegration/Bloodflowers form an unofficial trilogy inasmuch as they share similar themes and feelings.

Fans tend to differ and think that Seventeen Seconds/Faith/Pornography are more similar in tone/feel and would love a live concert done in the same 2002/2003 Trilogy style with those three records instead.
