The End of the World

‘The End Of The World’ sees The Cure sounding fresh, revitalised and ready to give anyone a run for their money.

Phil Udell, 13 Jul 2004

By rights, the Cure should now be joining that long line of vintage bands happy to bang out the odd greatest hits collection, complete with half-arsed unreleased tracks to keep the coffers filled. Instead, they’ve regrouped, hooked up with nu-metal guru Ross Robinson and come back with all guns blazing. ‘The End Of The World’ sees them sounding fresh, revitalised and ready to give anyone a run for their money. That Oxegen slot just got a good deal more fascinating.

Feel Good Smith Of The Summer

35 years after first jamming together in a suburban garage, The Cure are playing some of the biggest shows of their lives as part of a festival tour that brings them to the Electric Picnic. Drugs, keep-fit regimes, MASTODON collaborations, Irish sojourns, football, David Bowie and Tommy Cooper are all on the agenda as Robert Smith has a late night pow wow with Stuart Clark.

Not So Hot Hot Hot

By rights this headline slot should have been the stuff of legend. All the more surprising, then, that the band misjudge the whole thing in quite such spectacular fashion. Arriving more with a whimper than a bang, the first forty five minutes is devoted solely to material that sparks recognition in no-one but the most hardcore fan.

The Cure

Time, it seems, has not mellowed Cure mainman Robert Smith one iota. If anything, this eponymous album, the band’s first since 1999’s Bloodflowers, is the angriest they’ve ever been.
