The one you most cherished, the love that made your heart beat, that person who made life look colorful, that person is gone by their own hands, and with them a piece of you. Everything that meant so much has been cut short. A deep pain fills you to your bones, it's all that's left.
A somber guitar strum, a nostalgic longing reminiscence. Warm moments now faded and stained with pain. You can only remember what was, trying to piece together so desperately what each moment was like. ... read more
Finally getting around to it after seeing it all over music charts and it does not disappoint. Before I get to anything else though, why do they look like they were hit with lethal amounts of radiation on the cover, is there a reason? It's like Bowie but more drawn out and less energetic, honestly it reminds me a lot of the 80s sound, quite ahead of its time. The instrumentation is pretty interesting for the time, considering what most of their contemporaries were doing (in a more ... read more
Typa shit dudes would genuinely crucify you for bumping in 2017. So was it actually that bad? The answer is no, not really. It's not that good, but it isn't an abomination to music and humanity like people were acting like back then, in fact, the "death to mumble rap" crowd were far more annoying and made much worse dogshit, lmao. It's hilarious that this is honestly better than anything Tom MacDonald or Adam Calhoun have ever made. People were oddly harsh on this, yet ... read more

The instrumentation isn't very technical, instead settling for simplistic, yet unique and powerful riffs and drumming. It's a great balance between brutality and simplicity, not veering too hard ... read more
A huge step up from The Top. The most fun Cure album yet, veering away quite a bit from the gloom and into a jangle pop like sound. It's a much more traditional dancey sound that they pull off perfectly. Honestly, this is better than The Queen Is Dead in that regard. You can hear the foundations of the kind of vocals Robert Smith would later use for Disintegration. That's the great thing about The Cure, they always innovate in some way, it's never a stale experience with them. ... read more
Like a continuation of Gliders dreamy pop focus, but with more distortion and signature MBV charm. I would say it's a stronger showing than their previous 2 EPs.
