The Cure - Songs of a Lost World (2024) Album Review

It takes an awful lot to get me back into new material from a
classic band I've loved to remember at their peak and pretty much
since the career capping classic, Disintegration, in 1989, that
had been the case with The Cure. However, the first new material
in 16 years had garnered such raves, I couldn't resist and I'm
glad I didn't. Despite some of the worst production and mixing
I've ever heard from a band of their stature, and a questionable
opening salvo, Songs.. is undoubtedly their finest, most tortured
and monolithic work in decades. I'm outside in the dark Wondering
how I got so old!!!
