The Cure: Songs of a Lost World review – dark, personal and their best since Disintegration I am excited for this to make me incredibly sad.
I mean, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if that's been said in reviews for every album since Disintegration. A similar spirit to ‘it's their best since White Pony’.
Just got my vinyl shipping notification. Count on The Cure’s team to make sure these records actually ship out on the expected date
I lost my father two weeks ago to cancer, and ‘I Can Never Say Goodbye’ just hit me like a tonne of bricks.
A very good impression all around, but the back half of this especially knocked me on my ass. Tremendous work here!
I honestly am in awe of how good this is, how the hell are they pulling this off so late in their career, they seriously sound as young as ever
Yeah I switched back to what I listening to after the record was over, and The Funeral Party was the next song on the playlist. You wouldn’t even think I had changed the album
yeah this thing is fantastic, truly vindicates as if we didn't know already that they're one of the greatest bands to ever do it. an album of this quality in your mid-60s after a 15-year hiatus is unbelievable think the only thing that didn't work for me is All I Ever Am, the vocal phrasing in the chorus is just offputing for some reason I can't put my finger on, and it doesn't really work between two absolute powerhouses like I Can Never Say Goodbye and Endsong (what a closer). sorta wish It Can Never Be the Same was in that spot instead, but other than that this is a beast
when they bring it full circle at the end with "left alone with nothing at the end of every song", goddamn. actual chills right there
