How can the same band that farted out "The Top" years later come back to produce a masterpiece like "Disintegration?" It's this kind of inconsistent artistry that keeps Cure fans buying their CD's even after having been burned.This self titled release actually makes me yearn for "Bloodflowers." The recording is completely disjointed with only 2-3 songs worthy of standing against The Cure's body of work (Labyrinth and Anniversary.) I can tell why Simon Gallup wanted to punch Ross Robinson's teeth in - you can barely hear his trademark bass.Buy it if you're bored, or just desperate to relive your youth, but if you're familiar with The Cure's catalogue, you'll probably agree this is a fairly vaccuous offering. R. Smith tells us more than once during this CD that he "can't find himself" and that he "doesn't know what's going on." Thanks Robert, but the recording stated that clearly enough.
