Not by me it isn't!

so, could a new album be in the air?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 7 October 2015 12:10 (eight years ago) link
Eh, they've been "touring" non-stop for the past few years. I'd prefer an expanded "Wish" at this point.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 13:29 (eight years ago) link
I'd prefer an expanded "Wish" at this point.
I think this is the general consensus.
― austinato (Austin), Wednesday, 7 October 2015 15:46 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, if they could just reissue Wish on 2LP, i'd be happy for them to just shut the whole machine down and call it a day.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 16:24 (eight years ago) link
they are still a great live band, probably going to the Hollywood show.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 8 October 2015 00:34 (eight years ago) link
I think it's fair to say at this stage that Robert isn't particularly arsed about finishing up 4:14 Scream, and nor does he seem to be particularly interested in making any more new music. Having said that, for all that they've done since, they coulda split up in 2000 circa Bloodflowers like they were going to and it wouldn't have made much of a difference.
― Turrican, Thursday, 8 October 2015 17:59 (eight years ago) link
He said in an interview early last year when he announced the 4:14 Scream release plans that he wanted to do a new album with the current lineup but I don't know if that'll ever happen because it doesn't sound like it did this year when they weren't touring

I just bought two tickets right when they went on sale for the Hollywood Bowl. Hasn't even been an hour Sold Out. They added a second show also Sold Out. Wow

Support on all dates will be The Twilight Sad.

Excited to see where the Seattle show will be. Either doing that one or Vancouver. Saw Bjork at Deer Lake Park and had a good time but May is a real shady time to have an outdoor concert in the PNW.

a few thoughts: 100,000 votes, wow. with most of these polls the songs outside the Top 30 are a bit better as they are deeper cuts, i think our poll come out better, ranking songs seems to provide better results and wasn't so single heavy at the top. i did submit two ballots myself and what i did was take my ballot from this poll for PO25 and then used the last 15 to round out my ballot from there added 10 other songs with no repeats on either ballot. i should have just started over as i'm sure things have changed but used my ILM ballot anyways.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 15 June 2017 00:05 (six years ago) link
100 000 votes is incredibly impressive. It's nice to see "Charlotte Sometimes" so high. “Plainsong”, “One Hundred Years”, “From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea”, “A Strange Day” and “Push” are all great selections as non-singles in the Top 30.
― LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 16 June 2017 20:26 (six years ago) link
“From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea” to this day is still my favorite Cure song.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 22 June 2017 01:27 (six years ago) link
It's also definitely up there for me as one of the finest things this band ever did.
― The Anti-Climax Blues Band (Turrican), Thursday, 22 June 2017 14:50 (six years ago) link
just one vote difference between "a forest" and "just like heaven", that's nothing. i am surprised votes were that dispersed and that "a forest" didn't get more votes.
