I've never been a Cure fan except for a few songs in the past, but fk me that new album is good..

The album is indeed great but it actually wouldn't matter if every song was bad as long as they have Endsong on it. It's fucking ridiculously good. Giving me the exact vibe I've found wanting from the likes of Tool and NIN for the last couple of decades with that repetitive beat and the fucking beautiful guitar and bass lines. What a tune! I could go on but I'm sure I'll be back about it. Just brilliant

Me and the missus are huge Cure fans. Love the new new album. I see some people seem to dislike Warsong and Drone : NoDrone. I love the whole thing. If I have one criticism, its that I wish it was a little less compressed. Really enjoyed the live stream and bbc 2 stuff. Hopefully get some gigs next year.

Thats a great song, the new album is excellent.

I listened to the instrumental versions earlier, they're almost as good as the vocal versions. It just goes to show how fully formed the songs are when, with the exception of Warsong and Drone:Nodrone*, there's no sense of anything lacking without the vocals.


*The bassline is so big here that it makes up for the lack of vocals.

If you have the ability to listen to it, the atmos mix on the bluray is a good listen. The mix is still fairly hot, but has less compression. Much easier to hear the detail...

Watched a bit of that gig they did for it. Some quality new tunes. Will check out the new album soon.

Is Atmos 7.1? I have a soundbar that'll handle 5.1 alright...

Not sure mate. I listened to it through my Sonos soundbar.

I'll give it a go at some stage.

It's killing me to admit there's actually a small bit too much compression on such a beautiful piece of work, but yeah since the first lad said it it's actually noticeable

Thank god it's an unbelievable album

What are ue on about warsong and drone undone both are decent tunes

I know man. I didn't mean on here. I mean from reading other music forums. I love the whole album. It's fucking brilliant.

I just picked up the CD and had it on on the car. My initial feelings are that it is fucking incredible. Holy shit.
