The Cure

[Voley]

Well that was fab. I shall be doing everything I can to see them when they tour next.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Boom.

Same final encore as the last gig last year in Colombia

Me too. I've already told Mrs SI I'm going - and the brilliant thing is that my daughter wants to go, too. So her first gig will be The Cure, just as mine was in 1989

I was supposed to be going to a party this evening, but it got cancelled at the last minute.

I was so glad that I could stay in and watch this amazing gig.

 

[Hollis]

Here's the setlist for the record:


A Night Like This was the highlight for me.. never heard it before!

 

[tommers]

Ooh. I turned it off after the intermission so will watch this when I get some time to myself. Cool.

Me three - my teens both have Cure posters! - we're all mad for tickets for the next tour...

Yeah.. I'm slightly worried that that was one of the best Friday nights I've had in years ..

And we can do it all again tonight from 9pm on beeb2.

I've seen a few journalistic attempts to sum up The Cure recently in 5 or 10 tracks. Difficult ?
Nowhere is the "Drowning Man" which I'd say is their most perfect record....

 

[tommers]

This album is so good. I'm so sad.

 

[skyscraper101]

Unfortunately, I’m not feeling it. I find the production very muddy and the songs aren’t doing much for me either.

It’s fine though. I’ve never been a huge fan outside of the hits, and I am totally ok with that.

 

[metalguru]

Yes, I'm finding it similar. I'm not finding the songs very memorable, and I'm not a fan of the overall sound.

But I last took an interest in the Cure on record in the late 80s - though loved seeing them live in Hyde Park in 2018 and would be interested in seeing them now.

 

[Voley]

This might just be my favourite Cure album ever. It's absolutely fucking brilliant.

 

[marty21]

It's a beautiful album.

 

[krink]

I am a little disappointed as I think I was expecting a masterpiece after all these years. Only listened once so not my final opinion.

I can say Alone and Endsong (which are really one song) are utterly sublime. I felt such a melancholic sadness weighing on me as I listened to them. Which is what I was hoping for.

"More exciting Troxy news this Sunday" according to their newsletter.

Another gig do we think? Or are they releasing that gig as a live album?

 

[Voley]

Having practically lived in the new album for the last couple of weeks I'd like an official release of a live version of it. Endsong at The Troxy was even better than the one on the album.

Fucking love this new record. Up there with Disintegration as my favourite Cure album ever. My Xmas present this year is money to see them when they tour next.
