AMG Review of 4:13 Dream
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide4:13 Dream may open with the doomed romanticism of "Underneath the Stars," but that slow-crawling mini-epic is a feint, momentarily disguising how this is the Cure's poppiest album since 1992's Wish. But despite the preponderance of sprightly tempos and singsong hooks, nothing about 4:13 Dream feels especially light, perhaps because Robert Smith chooses to pair these songs with a heavy dose of angst. On the "The Reasons Why," the catchiest tune here, Smith sings about suicide with no trace of irony. The pristine production emphasizes Smith's stylized mannerisms -- nowhere more so than on "The Only One," where his caterwauls are clearly articulated. Buried in the back of 4:13 Dream are two songs with hooks that nevertheless dig underneath the skin: "The Perfect Boy" and "This. Here and Now. With You."

The legendary band fronted by Britain's mopiest musician, Robert Smith , returns again. Four years after their last release, The Cure have produced "4:13 Dream", which draws on nostalgia from their 80's heyday while still pushing their work in a new direction. The name of the album itself is a reference to the band's longevity, after 30 years the band have released their 13th studio albu...

It seems the Cure are taking every precaution to unjinx the release of their 13th studio album. Fear of the number 13 is common news for airports and hotels, with gate 13 or floor 13 being omitted from many. But the Cure are looking "triskaidekaphobia":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskaidekaphobia in the eye and releasing four A & B side singles each month up, the first on May 13th, up until t...

We received a number of songs from the Cure's 13th album incrementally, over so many weeks, that 4:13 Dream feels comfortably well-worn even on the first listen. The Single Of The Month Club brought us jangly, sexy "The Only One ," lame-o "Freakshow ," "Sleep When I'm Dead ," and achy "The Perfect Boy ." Then there are tracks like beautiful, compelling opener "Underneath The Stars " that found ...

Album:
We cover goth heroes the Cure fairly closely, for better or worst. Tunes we've heard so far from the band's forthcoming 13th studio album 4:13 Dream left us curious if a bit underwhelmed. A free gig in Rome's Piazza San Giovanni over the weekend, broadcast on MTV and promptly uploaded to YouTube, featured the entire album played live. Now we have pro recordings of thirteen new songs to consider.
