The Cure Prove Their Darkness Only Deepens on Songs Of A Lost World - Cougar Microbes

·
The Cure's new album ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ returns to the dark themes of their 1982 album ‘Pornography’, but with the maturity and wisdom of age. At 67, Robert Smith revisits similar emotional terrain, but the perspective now feels earned rather than youthful despair, delivered through glacial riffs and hard-won experience.
