Nothing but fucking banger after banger, the best introduction to sludge metal i could think of, doom metal too if you want to throw it under there, absolutely amazing album, incredible vocals, always a patch i'll have on my battle jacket, absolutely peak for 2001 as well
Honestly could be better, i feel like Kendrick didn't even want to drop this album, evidenced by that tweet, and it feels like he didn't give as much as he could on this. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a lot of this album, but so much of it sounds like he was holding back, and I'm gonna need him to go all out again.
Truly superb, they brought back their 80's selves, it really feels like it was released like immediately after Disintegration, as if I were to have heard some of these songs on the album. "I Can Never Say Goodbye" especially, that one is a true 10/10 track, it was extremely beautiful, and radiated an indescribable feeling. I think it's probably the third best Cure album tbh, if I were to rank them it'd be
Disintegration
Pornography
and then Songs of a Lost World
The drone to pink floyd-esque riff and atmosphere switch is one that needs to be studied in the labs.
Pretty damn good, it's a shame it's not on spotify..
