Like a womb of sadness.
Listened to this CD again last night. Everytime I listen to it I am amazed at the completeness of this album. Listen and enjoy, I can’t imagine anybody that loves music being disappointed.
The perfect mix of their darker roots and the pop sound they were still developing.
Hands down one of the best albums ever. Certainly the best in the Cure catalogue, and I would venture to put it up with some of the greatest albums from any artist. Thematically whole, sonically luscious and full, really just a joy to experience (though joy may be a bit of an oxymoron considering the dark tones of the album). You must own this album!
