This blew my freaking mind. "It's Over" is definitely the best album closer they've ever had, and "Scream" was surprisingly... something... surprising, I guess. Long live The Cure.

The Cure is the best rock band of the world and the album 4:13 is a DREAM !

The first listen, there were a few songs I was not so sure about. But after the 2nd and 3rd, (and 4th, 5th)time through, some of these have ended up being my favorites! As a whole, a great album that touches nicely on everything that make the Cure a great band. A mix of dreamy, silly, moody,poppy rock that is of a time and place all it's own. Siren song would fit nicely on wms, Underneath the stars is lovely, Bloodflowers-esque. It's Over sounds kiss me-ish. Perfect Boy is a perfect single, and though I thought it was a throwaway song at first, This Here and Now With You is quickly becoming one of my favorites! All in all, a stellar album any Cure fan will adore. Crack-a-lackin'!… Expand

Lovely album, swirling from pop to the epic underneath the stars, not a cure classic from beginning to end but brilliant all the same, i love it!

Good melodies, good lyrics, good music. Too much compression- stop the loudness wars, please.

I'd like this album, it's not a masterpiece but you can compare it with wish have lot of musical diversity. A great album.

This is a solid effort, but not their best. If you are a Cure fan, then it will be worth the wait. Being a huge fan of theirs from the 80's I always think their next one will be a letdown. But with the exception of "Wild Mood Swings", I've never been really disappointed. I can't say there are any songs that stand out on this, but I at least can listen to most of these songs and be satisfied.… Expand

I just can't stop listening to this album! The Cure album I've been waiting for since Wish. Bravo Robert and company!

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 songs solid enough for wanting you to buy this pointless album.… Expand

I goy it, left it, heard it twice and put it down.... weeks later, I gave it another chance, and it is doing my head... taking it to the sky and back! Really good album, full with melodies, emotions, pounding heartbits and colour. I didn't think I would like a Cure album so much, without looking a copy of past glories. Buy it.

A solid cure album. Several stand out tracks including Underneath the Stars and Sleep When I'm Dead. If you don't like this, I'm afraid you don't like the cure, and probably shouldn't be reviewing their records professionally.

Bobby still desperately underinspired since at least 20 years. Pop goes pop artist !

4:13 Dream is one of the strongest records The Cure have made in the past 16 years. Definately the best since Wish, although I did love Bloodflowers, Wish had a more poppy sound and as such 4:13 Dream comes closer to that. Like Wish, 4:13 Dream is a schizophrenic sounding records with lot's of different styles; there's traces of said record (The only One), Disintegration (Underneath The Stars), Kiss Me x3 (Sirensong), Pornography (The Scream) etc. The closer It's Over is a frantic, over-the-top heavy rocker and it's AMAZING! The Cure have never ended an album like this before.. 4:13 Dream is up there with the best. It sounds surprisingly fresh and very different from past work. Worth a listen for the sceptical and worth a buy for the true fans who support them no matter if it's good or bad. Like Me. The only negative thing about it is that the songs don't have a very emotional impact, if any, on you (except maybe UTS). If the songs were more emotional it would be a 10! But as it is it's a fine, outstanding effort from the best band in the world. THE CURE!… Expand

I thought I would never say this, but 4:13 Dream might be the best Cure album yet. After all the delays, this album is well worth the wait. Underneath the Stars is possibly their strongest opening track. It only gets better thereafter. It's nice to see such a complete, satisfying album from The Cure this late in their career.
