legit lol @ f hazel's post
I was trying to work up something along the lines of "Then I realize with fright / Howie-man is renting me a movie / tonight"
or maybe a play on "Carnage Visors," but can't quite make it work. "Carnage VHS's?"

riffing on that- sorta feel like the whole fax should be reworked around the lyrics to "primary."

And now the 'orange' film that that is much more inaccessible is The Cure in.

tour has started - now a six-piece (!) with Perry back (!) - two new songs, I listened to Endsong (title clearly AI-generated) and it was pretty good if a bit overlong and dirgey (yes I know) - anyway i always feel a bit more cheerful when the Cure are out and about

wow Endsong is the first new Cure thing I have liked unreservedly in about 20 years - and Robert even looks a bit healthier, I hope they're excited and firing up. On both songs he sounds like he actually feels the words he's singing which is a nice change.
(also I love that Simon's default stage moves look like trying to get a better purchase on the refrigerator he's carrying upstairs)
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 7 October 2022 00:22 (one year ago) link
i was going to say 'finally the classic wild mood swings lineup has reunited!' but gabrels is still in the band? becoming a 6-piece is even more unexpected than bamonte's return
the new songs sound surprisingly good too, that album better come out for real soon lol
― ufo, Friday, 7 October 2022 00:38 (one year ago) link
wow, these new songs are really nice... might be time to buy a new cure album soon!
― Jaime Pressly and America (f. hazel), Friday, 7 October 2022 01:15 (one year ago) link
Perry back, eh? Three guitarists, they really HAVE become the goth rock version of Iron Maiden. (This is far from a complaint, and ever since I saw Simon wearing a Maiden shirt a few years back in a photo I don't think they'd mind the comparison.)

Another new song debut - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yLPtVXXGTQ
Really into these new ones, have listened to Endsong a number of times now inc a better recording where the dynamics were more apparent- and there’s a cool drone note at the very beginning that sits inside the first chords in a really nice way
really into the “Disintegration but old and tired” vibe - like I don’t think this album is gonna be Blackstar but maybe it will be a really worthy final Cure LP with some poignant reflections on love & loss - and I think these might feel more resonant coming from a 63-yo Robert Smith than did Bloodflowers’ grumbles about turning 40
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Tuesday, 11 October 2022 04:26 (one year ago) link
songs of a lost world can't be their final album when they've got a second one on the way, remember (lol).
but since the new material is actually showing up it doesn't seem that impossible that we actually get both albums next year. or the second one will be delayed until after 4:14 scream
― ufo, Tuesday, 11 October 2022 04:54 (one year ago) link
OMG, this is also great. Maybe waiting until they were really ready was the right move.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 11 October 2022 05:09 (one year ago) link
three new songs does seem promising - and the merch calls the tour “shows of a lost world” which reads nearly almost like commitment that something might perhaps happen
ha i guess i’m assuming it is a last LP is partly because I am reflexively preempting Robert’s regular “i wanted this to be our definitive statement and after this I don’t care if the band breaks up” rhetoric - and honestly, it would be miraculous enough if this came out, let alone another one - but there’s definitely a Last Songs thing going on lyrically
Really hoping that it is better recorded than their last few LPs
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Tuesday, 11 October 2022 05:14 (one year ago) link
he said in early march that songs of a lost world was almost finished (& that the second album was already complete) - he was just putting the final touches on it & he was hoping to release it in september/october before the tour but he was frustrated about that delay being necessary due to vinyl lead times. i'd guess that if it is indeed finished then the vinyl times have blown out well beyond what he thought & it'll be out next year.
― ufo, Tuesday, 11 October 2022 05:43 (one year ago) link
I still maintain my 'I'll believe it when I see it' with regards to a new Cure record but this is the most promising it's looked in some time yea
― you can see me from westbury white horse, Tuesday, 11 October 2022 05:49 (one year ago) link
Don't these new songs sound like Disintegration retreads to anyone else? Oh, well.
I watched most of the Riga set last night and was happy to hear them do favorite old chestnuts like "The Walk". At times Smith's voice is uncanny. It hasn't changed and he can hit that high "I kissed you in the water..." and still sound like 1983. Good thing he quit smoking all those years ago!"From The edge Of The deep Green Sea" is never not breathtaking.

really into the “Disintegration but old and tired” vibe
disagree though
― Vance Vance Devolution (sic), Tuesday, 11 October 2022 09:05 (one year ago) link
.......they sound like Bloodflowers retreads.
on first acquaintance they seem more successful than Bloodflowers IMO - more majesty and less plodding - and as mentioned above, i somehow find the lyrical bent a little more affecting this time around, when it really does seem to be informed by genuine emotion around loss and grief
but i am also clearly willing the Puported New Cure LP to be worthy - and i am okay with that
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Tuesday, 11 October 2022 09:54 (one year ago) link
they sound more like disintegration retreads than bloodflowers retreads, which is a very good thing
― ufo, Tuesday, 11 October 2022 10:17 (one year ago) link
like decent disintegration retreads are pretty much the best possible thing they could be doing at this point
― ufo, Tuesday, 11 October 2022 10:19 (one year ago) link
yeah total agree!

This is all you need from that sentence: c/p it, turn it into a macro, and then use it liberally regarding any exact Cure future plans or activities or news and you'll never be disappointed.
