"4:13 Dream" by the Cure

new single "Sleep When I'm Dead" (Mix 13) is out on July 15th. good to see a single a month continue.

streaming here

Not my favorite song from the new record, so far.

I'm saddened by the lack of interest for the singles here on ILM

I'm interested but I also haven't had a chance to pick them up properly.

I definitely like this one the most so far.

c'mon, it's the Cure we're talking about here!!

xp

yes this is a grower and you can clearly see how they found this amongst the scraps of the 'Head on the Door' sessions

The single sounds like classic The Cure, at least in terms of style and atmosphere (even if the razor-sharp hooks aren't there anymore). Somehow, returning to (or maintaining) their "classic sound" isn't enough for me with R.E.M. (on the okay but sort of lackluster Accelerate), but it might be enough with The Cure.

I dont know - for me the "classic" Cure sound has grown to mean the 'Wish' type of dreamy jangle. Whereas, this single kind of reminds me of that transition sound the Cure had in 1984-1985, eg. say "Baby Screams"

this new song is quite good - for the first time in years I'm really waiting for the new album.

I have to say that, based on the snippet looped on their site, I like this a LOT more recorded than I did live.

well the snippet is just the quiet intro

I know, but I hated that intro when they played it live.

I posted the whole song upthread

haha oh yeah, you did

okay so based on the link posted to this thread, I like this a LOT more recorded than I did live.

I don't dig it much. Something about the guitar sound just doesn't feel right.

i bought all three new singles as they were just $1.99 each.

Really Bee OK? The vinyl singles (weren't they to be released as 7"s)? Where'd you get them? I'd do that.

i got them from Amoeba Hollywood but the CD singles are also at Amazon for the same $1.99 each.

I saw the Cure tribute band here in Seattle last night called Fascination Street and words fail me...the singer had the whole Robert Smith thing down, you would have thought it was the real article, hair, clothes, movements, slight double chin, even down to his voice...at first I thought he must be just lip-syncing to a backing track but when he flubbed his accent a few times on one song I realized it must really be someone other than Robert Smith singing. They did a good variety of songs from across the Cure's discography. It was a fun gig.

I feel duty bound to link to their website.

I mean...you know...until the REAL Cure album comes out and all...

Alright final single is out, "Perfect Boy". Easily the best of the series and probably my fave Cure single since god knows when

The video

I think I still like "Freakshow" and "Sleep When I'm Dead" more, although my favorite song of the 8 new ones is "All Kinds Of Stuff".

Yeah that one is killer (esp that bassline)

It's all a good batch of songs in general -- really looking forward to the new album. (And finally getting a NAME for it.)

The Cure 2

Through the Portal of Time

still haven't listened to these.

anyone hear about this?

WAHT DO NOT WANT

my favorite song of the 8 new ones is "All Kinds Of Stuff"

Same here.

WAHT DO NOT WANT

it's a charity limited-ed thingo, no big deal
(also obv designed to get attention for the now-delayed-again album from ver kids)

sadly I will buy that even though I'm conviced it will be a big pile of suck

Anyway, BUMP because as you can see with the thread title we FINALLY have an album name!

sadly I will buy that even though I'm conviced it will be a big pile of suck

the question is: will it be as bad as the Korn Unplugged cover of "In Between Days" sandwiched between two halves of Korn's "Make Me Bad" with Robert Smith on guest vocals???

(My apologies in advance...)

... I kind of liked that (the first time I saw it; haven't watched it since).

7 minutes till 4:20 amirite

Korn Unplugged!? For real? Fuck me dead.

RIP trusty long-serving thread name :(

I know, I hardly knew ye!

It never even got its "78", did it? ;_;

It had that in our hearts.

Regarding Korn + Robert unplugged, D31R34DH4NTU4TH has this to say: "the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

So who actually believes this will come out in October?

if they put out that sure-to-be-godawful emo/remix EP, then fucking DELAY the regular album... boy will i be pissed.

Fucking despairing Robert is fucking despairing

i like the cover and that Robert rant is good stuff.

Due to a very unfortunate typo in a recent Ilxor AIM Chatz session, someone had me believing this album had leaked. I was very disappointed to realize the truth.
