16 years after their final whimper, the cure
return with a thunderous roar, firmly
cementing themselves at the very peak of
modern music history and delivering a
spiritual successor to their magnum opus

An incredible return to form. Breathtaking opening and closing double whammy bookends an album that is bleak dark introspective and an absolute masterpiece cannot believe how good it is tbh

Those of who you put this lyrically histrionic, stupendously loudly mixed, C-grade reattempt of "Disintegration" in the same sentence as "Blackstar"... no rest. No rest for any of you.

All I can say, as I?m almost speechless? this album is a masterpiece on every level period. The record of the Year and maybe the last 5 years +

Crazy how fresh and relevant this sounds in todays alt landscape - 35 years after the release of Disintegration...... Just goes to show, good songwriting is timeless.

Gothic rock perfection. Perfect amount of beautiful desolate repetition, relative lack of vocals, just bathing in the atmosphere. The production is just peak, it all feels so organic and simple and fuzzy and right there with you in the room. Could endlessly loop this thing. My god.

A haunting testament to The Cure's enduring magic. Smith's voice doesn't seem to have aged since the 80s, while the atmospheric swells, melancholic riffs, ethereal synths, and propulsive rhythms conjure the band's finest moments. It's a late-career triumph that feels both familiar and surprisingly fresh - proof that after all this time, no one else holds the torch for dark romanticism like The Cure.

The hype train is well deserved, it really is that good.

Learning Robert Smith has come to terms with his own age and mortality is perhaps one of the most terrifying reminders that you are growing older and too are running out of time, no matter how old you are. The final bass note of ?Endsong? is absolutely haunting, paired with a desolate and weary ?nothing? angstily delivered by Smith.

Didn't get to spend a ton of time with this but really enjoyed 'A Fragile Thing', 'Drone:NoDrone' and 'Endsong'. The down and lonely atmosphere is great and the vocals have a ton of personality. They lyrics also standout.

Was seriously considering giving this a 5, putting it up with pornography, but that would also be saying that, relatively, this is better than disintegration to me, which is not true. Still, we are looking at maybe a 4.7/4.8. Unbelievable album, so definitively The Cure.

The most amazing thing about Cure's return is that they can still carve a harrowing, unsettling, existentially discomforting song one after another. So be it that the production makes nearly every cut too glossy. That can be dealt with given just the potent melancholy that strikes at the core of both ageing folk and misguided youth. Once again, Cure find a target audience in every slight of populace.

I had seen a lot of build up to this album and thought the band might have had their best days behind them, but this release showcases a beautifully put together album as a whole. The songs all stand out as great pieces with no lulls in the album.

This album feels like a long overdue hug. The mix is strange on this album but I love it. Endsong is perfect, up there as rtheir best.
