New album from The Cure

You can stream the new Cure album now at http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/cure/7621 ... is=playIt()

Not sure I'm in love with the Ross Robinson production technique. The band just played it live in the studio. The Cure are typically a lot more lush in production. But some of it is great. Robert says it's the best since Disintegration. Not sure about that yet (on first couple of listens), but it's interesting.

Y'know, the single grew on me and I was anxious to listen to the album..and now that I have..several times...I just don't care for it. I'm for the Cure though so if it appeals to a new audience, more power to 'em.

I like several tracks off the new album. Couldn't tell you which ones, as I've been playing it in the car and don't know any of the song titles. It's better than Bloodflowers, which was miles better than the one before it, so I'm not complaining. The p
