Dec 16, 2011I miss the old days of The Cure when every single song on the album was beautiful and dark. These more modern pieces are good, but certainly not great.

XantyMar 11, 2009I 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.

SixtoL.Nov 12, 2008I'd like this album, it's not a masterpiece but you can compare it with wish have lot of musical diversity. A great album.

kevinm.Nov 1, 2008A 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.

FrogS.Oct 31, 2008Good melodies, good lyrics, good music. Too much compression- stop the loudness wars, please.

AaronL.Oct 30, 2008Lovely 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!

AlexOct 30, 2008This 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.

BradleyH.Oct 30, 2008I have been a huge fan off The Cure since the late 80's. 4:13 Dream is fantastic. I have been playing it constantly since I got it. I have not enjoyed a Cure album this much since Disintigration.

BrandonOct 29, 2008I 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.

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.
