Music reviews of 4:13 Dream
Music Review: Best album in years!
Rating: 5 Stars
The Cure are a multifaceted gem of a band. They have such a diverse catalog that they attract various groups of fans with different tastes...as is evidenced by the wide variety of opinions about their last several albums. With that said, I already know some people will not agree with me, but I think this is the best album since "Wish". I did not care for "Bloodflowers" except for Maybe Someday (which is great). "The Cure" did not impress me either except for Taking Off, which I love. "Wild Mood Swings" had a couple of gems, but "4:13 Dream" has the most to offer since "Wish". Several of the songs harken back to the earlier style of my two favorite albums: "Kiss Me..." and "The Head on the Door". I hope The Cure create music for many more years to come, but if this happens to be one of their final albums...it's a great one to end out an amazing career. A very sincere thanks to an unparalleled band who could bring complex multilayered mood and emotion to each and every song.
Description of 4:13 Dream
2008 release, the 13th studio longplayer from the legendary Goth rockers led by Robert Smith. Now down to a quartet (Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson and Jason Cooper), the band continue to musically evolve while dealing with subjects like relationships, the material world, politics and religion. The songs on 4:13 Dream are stripped down and 'in your face' while also sounding very much like The Cure. Includes the singles 'The Only One', 'Freakshow', 'Sleep When I'm Dead' and 'The Perfect Boy.'No one ever managed to nail aimless suburban alienation quite like the Cure, so sensitive yet so party-hearty, and 4:13 Dream, their thirteenth studio album and first in four years, lands in a musical landscape infested with their descendents. Yet Robert Smith and his old blokes can still show the young shavers how it's done, even as they enter their fourth decade as a working band. The wistful yet ominous opener, "Underneath the Stars," seems to slip towards Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here," making for a perfect exemplar of the Cure's highly nuanced, yet undeniably commercial, English art-rock. "The Only One" seems to rework their own, twenty-year-old classic, "Just Like Heaven," while the febrile scratchy funk of "Switch" sounds peculiarly contemporary right now. Their woozy "Sirensong" simply refuses to settle into predictablility, and even the lumbering and gloomy "The Real Snow White" sounds ready for arenas rather than confined spaces. Enjoyable throughout and often effortlessly commercial, 4:13 Dream should depress and impress many young people, especially some musicians who may now realise just how far they have to go to catch up. --Steve Jelbert
