Songs Of A Lost World
The Cure
On their first album in sixteen years, The Cure is certainly looking back sonically to the era that produced albums like Pornography and Disintegration. However, it is Smith’s unrelenting assessment of THE END that positions Songs Of A Lost World as one of the best albums in the band’s catalog. Where 1989’s Disintegration, the album from which Lost World draws most strongly in terms of sound, was about the collapse of personal relationships resulting in nothing more wounding than a broken heart, the collapse in this new batch of songs is existential and permanent — the final heartbreak that ultimately comes for us all. That’s not a new concept by a long shot, but what makes the album a minor miracle is how much joy Smith is able to light the darkness with, even while being crushed by the weight of seemingly endless regret and the finality of, well, everything. - Kevin
