Wall of Mouths

I’ve only heard End Of The World so far and it sounds good.

It’s better than Bloodflowers, Wild Mood Swings and Wish combined.

This sounds very promising (even though I don’t like Bloodflowers that much, my favourite albums are still Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me and Disintegration)

having listened to it since monday, i think it is rather good to be honest. “alt.end” is a direct rip off of “in your house” but louder, and “us or them” has the same guitar riff as “watching me fall”. but anyway, i think it’s a good album. not a classic cure album, but a good one. certainly one worth having. “the promise” is a ten minute long masterpiece.

@ D: yeah, it was & @ NTKOG: What’s all this then? ;) A good Cure album?

i’ve been a fan of ross rob (boo hiss i know) and that makes me more interested to hear it, especially if you’re saying its like ATD-I. ‘relationship…’ is very well produced.
was never a big cure fan. not that i dont like them, more like i havent heard much of them, apart from the singles. i may have to pick this up though.
another album gets added to the never ending list (sigh)

I don’t think he was saying that, mate. At least, I hope not. I know Smith’s got big hair, but it ain’t by any stretch of the imagination an afro.

:)
yeah i get that :)
what i took from NTKOG’s post was that he liked the album and that he liked the produciton on the ATD-I album, which was a lot cleaner than most of R.R’s other stuff.
so hopefully/maybe/possibly the production on the cure album is something similar.

Heh ;)

You should check out their earlier stuff anyway - Pornography or Disintegration especially.

Pornography’s great too. Miserable as fuck, mind you.

add “17 seconds” to that list and you’ve got the 5 best.

Prefer wild mood swings myself. Haven´t heard the new one yet…but i´ll get around to it soon.

I still haven’t heard it. Would you recommend it to a fan of 17 seconds, Faith and (especially)Pornography?

i liked the cure even more when i was a bit younger.. first i wanted to buy the new album but i am not too sure…

do you know that robert smith sold songs for car commercial… i dont like that.. the man who sings about the big pains of love and the whole pain of the world sells songs for car commercial..

not that the music is bad but i didnt like that..

everytime i hear their songs now.. i think about fucking car commercials… :rolleyes:

I think quite often the copyright doesn’t lie with the artist anyway so it may not have been up to him. Like when T? couldn’t afford their own stuff to put on the DVD :(

Not that I have forgiven Barenaked Ladies for becoming the fecking Argos theme music :mad:

I don’t think there are many bands that dont want to become sucessfull. Why bother in the first place if you don’t wish to do well?

I think people get confused about ‘selling out’ - I don’t think being successful should make you a so-called sell out or cheapen the music you have made - if a band sacrifices their musical integrity to become sucessful however - then i can understand why people would have a problem.

Lets face it - Therapy? were successful around the time of Troublegum - and I recently read somewhere that the money they made from that record allowed them to go on and write albums like SP-YF and the new one - which might not be as comerically viable - without the pressure to force-write Troublegum 2 just to put food on the table and the kids through college or whatever.

I can see your point about selling yourself to the industry and all that - but you have to look at it in the sense that you probably go to work to get paid, just like I do, and I don’t see why musicians cannot do the same.

I haven’t got a problem with their music being used in adverts. It’s not like Robert Smith ever went around claiming The Cure was an anti-capitalist punk band or something.
