This is classic Cure. Listening to this took me back to my first time listening to the band. I’ve been lucky to see... them play live a few times, and that same energy exists on this record. show more

The Cure at their epic, moody, melancholic best. Endsong is *huuuge*

Confession: I have never deliberately listened to The Cure Confession: I was listening in the car and said “This reminds me of waste by... brand new” Confession: I’ve been listening to this on repeat show more

Was never much into The Cure but feels like this could drag me in.

After waiting aeons for the new Cure record I was initially transported back to the 90's and the melancholy of my teenage years.... As the album progressed it began to irk me - this felt less like a new album and more like an unreleased collection of b-sides from the Disintegration album. Sonically, the instrumental mix feels strained and yet the sound is undeniably the Cure. Robert's lyrics and voice is as comforting as ever and the album feels both familiar and foreign. I'm really not sure how to feel about it. Might just another two-three more loops around the album. show more

An astonishing work of beauty. Tinged with real sadness. The best album by the cure in many years. Stunning

The first album by The Cure in 16 years is a emotional and bleak listen filled with meandering instrumentals... It is also, pretty... 🤬ing good. IMO it's their best album since Disintegration. show more
