wild mood swings


when i think of the cure its always the ambient synths, those ever so familiar, yet inexhaustable, single string guitar lines and robert smith's round shaped voice weighed heavy with depressing, yet lovely, lyrics.

so a decade and then some ago i got the then new record which was something of a surprise. canonized in my mind will always be pictures of you, friday i'm in love, etc. as who the cure is, but wild mood swings is a record jam packed with winners. its still got all the characteristics of the old cure, its not an about face as we saw with bush and third eye blind - rather, a continuation to a brighter end. the entire record serves as a booster. instead of the happy songs still seeming to be sad, the sad songs even leave the listener feeling good. the aura of the album is fully radiant.

the lyrics were very well chosen, the placement of songs to keep the record moving forward could not be better and the music is incredibly tasteful.

this record should be a staple in any music lovers collection. so if you haven't heard it, buy it. if you think i'm wrong, i'll take you on.

  1. Pictures of You rules. However, The Cure is super overrated. What a surprise: we disagree.

    Bring it.

  2. the record in question, have you listened to it start to finish, dear moon? that seems to matter a great deal in this discussion. for if you have not heard the entire record, you are speaking from a point of speculation, and thus your points void themselves. like people that sell their souls to the devil.
