    Don't believe the critics... The Cure is my favorite band of all time, but I tell you, this album is quite poor... I even think their predecessor (2004) was slightly better. The songs here just don't lift off... There is also probably the most stupid and boring Cure songs ever wrote here : The only one, Freakshow... Only The Reasons why, Real snow White nad The Hungry ghost are Don't believe the critics... The Cure is my favorite band of all time, but I tell you, this album is quite poor...

    Smartly pivoting from 2004's oddly aggro "The Cure," Smith once again indulges in his patented bipolar cocktail of feedback-drenched swoons ('Underneath the Stars') spiked with bursts of giddy pop ('The Only One').

    Smith sounds less like a lovesick prince in 4:13 Dream's looping-riff viscera and swallow-you-whole echo, and more like the avenging middle-aged Roger Waters on Pink Floyd's "Animals."

    4:13 Dream is admirably taut and vibrant.
