You mean UK charts presumably? That's not what we meant. I'm sure The Cure will be number 1. Even Shed Seven are at number 1 now.
No, we were talking if it would rank top-3 in the 'best Cure album' list.

Ah ok, I have no idea, have always liked them and have a couple of their live albums.
“Alone” is a really dull and boring song. If this is the best they’ve got to offer, then don’t release this “long awaited” album.
Harsh Truth
Ever Felt Had?
Given that you've ranked Disintegration as #1 and Bloodflowers as #10, this statement doesn't exactly go out on a limb.
Some random reuploads from gigs I attended. The 2007 video quality is pretty crap but still good to have since I can’t find anything else re: The Big Hand from that show. Had to combine two videos together hence some of the middle is missing.
Faith from 2011 is a much better recording. Will add Charlotte Sometimes from 2011 next.

How Beautiful You Are… (Live 2007)

Robert interview with UOL
New interview with Robert on UOL (English) today. Here's something interesting:
UOL - You can choose the best album and best song by The Cure?
Robert - Wow! Probably "The Greatest Hits" sums it up, but my personal favorite is the album that we're about to launch. I think it's definitely my favorite kind of music. There's a song on the album called "Christmas Without You". It's the best song I've ever written. Of the old songs by The Cure would probably "10:15 [Saturday Night]." I did the Cure because I had this song.
(Thanks @AaronLaw92 and The Cure Brasil)
'Christmas Without You' (which is said to be about the death of a close friend) was recorded during the '4:13 Dream' sessions. In this Blender interview from 2008, Robert called it “one of the most unhappy things we’ve ever recorded”
More reason to think Christmas Without You became It Can Never Be The Same.
Gregor Samsa
I straighten up, and my position is one of hope.
I read very recently that It Can Never Be the Same was written during the 4:13 era. It sounds nothing like that stuff. I’ve always thought that it was a new song, written around 2016.Robert interview with UOL

This is the first time I’ve heard of Christmas Without You.
Yeah, people forgot about it once The Perfect Boy bside “Without You” came out, but I think they are entirely different songs.
There was also another song from those sessions called Lusting Here In Your Mind.

I straighten up, and my position is one of hope.
So Without You, Christmas…, and ICNBTS are all connected?
No. “Without You” is the b-side released in 2008 to the Perfect Boy single.
“Christmas Without You” seems to be an early title for It Can Never Be The Same.
It’s original title just happened to have a similar title to the released b-side.
Gregor Samsa
I straighten up, and my position is one of hope.
Ah, okay. So when was ICNBTS in fact written?
ZOOM FROM GLOOM
LASCIATE OGNI SPERANZA!
No one’s discussing the important elements of Bob’s craft. Most of these songs were most likely written while imbibing the alcohol. And LSD was also once very much a favorite of Bob’s, I believe.
Robert mentions it in that 2008 interview so I’d imagine it originated during the 4:13 sessions and evolved over time.
Probably changed the title as well so as not to confuse it with “Without You”.
I don’t know why his best songs keep getting the unreleased studio fate, ie A Boy I Never Knew and ICNBTS:
There's a song on the album called "Christmas Without You". It's the best song I've ever written.

I actually think I’m not going to listen to it or any other song they choose to release prior to 11/1.

Are you as excited as I am?
From The Tongue of Kai:
Alone, Endsong, I can never say goodbye all 10/10. Fragile thing 9,5/10, And nothing is forever 9/10... Fugue 9,5/10, Warsong 10/10.
8,5/10.This album is a masterpiece. And I don't know any other band who came up with an album of SUCH quality in their 60s. Kudos!
More from Kai:
Warsong 10/10: Heavy track, stuggling to find something similar, Your god is fear maybe but a bit "faster". Gorgeous guitars and solo.
Fugue 9.5/10: Last day of summer/A letter to Elise like, a bit more up-beatish too, rather short but a beauty. Nice guitar solo as well.

This is one of the, let’s say, three albums I’ve been most excited about in my entire life.Monday, October 7, 2024
