Being a long-time Cure fan I decided to purchase their latest album. To say that this CD is disappointing would be an understatement. The songs lack the edge The Cure is known for. Frankly, each song sounds the same as the last...Robert Smith sounds like he isn't even trying...like he doesn't care.The songs are repetitive and droning. This isn't a "fun" album...I found myself anxious for each song to end. I've listened to the album three times hoping that perhaps it would grow on me...it hasn't; I don't think it will.I wish I could get my money back.
