Editorial Review:
Album Description:
2008 release, the 13th studio longplayer from the legendary Goth rockers led by Robert Smith. Now down to a quartet (Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson and Jason Cooper), the band continue to musically evolve while dealing with subjects like relationships, the material world, politics and religion. The songs on 4:13 Dream are stripped down and 'in your face' while also sounding very much like The Cure. Includes the singles 'The Only One', 'Freakshow', 'Sleep When I'm Dead' and 'The Perfect Boy.'
Amazon.com:
No one ever managed to nail aimless suburban alienation quite like the Cure, so sensitive yet so party-hearty, and 4:13 Dream, their thirteenth studio album and first in four years, lands in a musical landscape infested with their descendents. Yet Robert Smith and his old blokes can still show the young shavers how it’s done, even as they enter their fourth decade as a working band. The wistful yet ominous opener, "Underneath the Stars," seems to slip towards Pink Floyd’s "Wish You Were Here," making for a perfect exemplar of the Cure’s highly nuanced, yet undeniably commercial, English art-rock. "The Only One" seems to rework their own, twenty-year-old classic, "Just Like Heaven," while the febrile scratchy funk of "Switch" sounds peculiarly contemporary right now. Their woozy "Sirensong" simply refuses to settle into predictablility, and even the lumbering and gloomy "The Real Snow White" sounds ready for arenas rather than confined spaces. Enjoyable throughout and often effortlessly commercial, 4:13 Dream should depress and impress many young people, especially some musicians who may now realise just how far they have to go to catch up. --Steve Jelbert

Underneath The Stars: is a Bloodflowers-ish sounding epic opener clock in just over six minutes. An awesome track to start with Robert signing about the universe's 13 billion years (so poetic). My only minor bummer is that vocals are a tad low and do get meshed during the outro.
The Only One: is a Wish-era throwback song, an alien hybrid of Doing The Unstuck/High if you ask me. Not a favorite, a bit too "happy" sounding for me.
The Reasons Why: is a groovy Head On ... Read More

So, I'm a big fan of the following, faith, head on the door, disintigration and, yes wild mood swings (I'll explain later).
Everything since wild mood swings has robert smith in a horrible rut, every song uses the same melodic structure and the inventiveness and creativity is (poof) gone. I'm seeing age set in.
Now, I like wild mood swings for the same reasons I liked head on the door, it was a dramatic break from "the cure sound" which people are far too enamored of.. it ... Read More

Let me state upfront that Robert Smith and I are roughly the same age (he is one year older than me) and that I essentially grew up with these guys from the late 70s on. So I have been on this ride for a long long time. After the utterly disappointing 2004 self-titled album, here again comes Robert Smith (the only remaining original band member of the Cure) with a new album, after another 4 year lay-off. I had heard/read encouraging things about the album, so I was eager to hear it when I finally had ... Read More

I consider The Cure one of the greatest modern rock bands in the last 2,3 decades. I love their post punk guitar riffs, haunting lyrics, and melancholy melodies. A lot of my favorite music comes from the band's albums from the '80s and mid '90s. I absolutely adore PORNOGRAPHY, DISINTEGRATION, and BLOODFLOWERS but the band has put out a couple of turkeys like WILD MOOD SWINGS and their 2004 self-titled album. I really didn't care for the band's previous album because of producer Ross Robinson who obviously ... Read More

better than what I'd even hoped. With every listen, it grows. As always the lyrics and voice are more than marvelous. A couple reviews mentioned no single material here, I disagree. There's two tracks, with the right push, may have single potential. I love the opener, grand or epic to say the least. I'm anticipating this next darker disc but for now I'm more than happy with 4:13.
