I was looking forward to hearing what Todd had to say about Alone and he didn’t disappoint. It’s good to see you guys saying such nice things about Jason Cooper. I liked the image of the Russian doll.
Since l just put an epic eight paragraph “essay” on me ol’ mucker bicyclelegs latest video, I’ll try and be a tad more concise here. I was first turned onto The Cure in 1985, with their elpee The Head on the Door. Disintegration is a stellar album in their oeuvre, as is “The Todd Approved” Wish release. I saw them play a two and a half hour show on the Wish tour… wow. When l first heard the song, my immediate touchstone was “Plainsong” as well, from the aforementioned Disintegration platter. I also saw The Cure perform live at the 2019 R&RHOF induction ceremony in Brooklyn, New York. Like you dudes, I’m also looking forward to hearing more from this enigmatic act. ~ Davey Cretin from Cretin Classics.
A Cure fan here.....a real fan....this review is just another review of any old rock artist....all compliments aside. Todd referencing Genesis, Led Zeppelin, etc etc etc 🙄
I think, it is The Cure by numbers. Since they dropped Disintegration, they have not changed the formula, which they've dared to do until 1989. The long, uneventful intro, having G and F chords forever is lacklustre. Sure, R.S. still has the Mojo of a good voice, but again, it is rather "meh". Plus compressed as hell. Just my opinion.
Robert Smith is a Genius the album will be intriguing and its exciting

The CURE KING 👑 OF ROCK !!!!
Can always count on the two of you to paint a clear, concise picture - no matter the subject. 👍
Proceeding with caution and an open mind ...

TODD! I have never listened to the Cure aside from the popular 80s singles.
Bloodflowers is my absolute favouite cure album
Hope the rest of the album isnt as boring as this disappointing single.
These people sound like they haven't a clue.

My point: the song is embarrassing, pathetic, predictable, unimaginative, as the band has been for the last thirty years. Oh!, and it sounds awful.
