 Needs to be soaked in. Nov 07, 2009
While not immediate as Disintegration or Wish there are lot's of great songs that sound familiar but not overly familiar .
The only songs that i don't care for are the opener "Underneath the Stars" which just never completely gells with too many chords and effects drowning out the sound where it's just waves of guitar effects and studio effects with no hooks or strong bassline to anchor the song.
I also don't care for The Scream which is too over the top angsty.
I feel like this album could have been better if they had a more sympathetic producer to there style of music while Keith Uddin has won lots of awards it's mostly for commercial pop music and some of the songs are over modulated which is an unfortunate trend.
The great thing about Disintegration was how grand it was but how much room there was inside the production to hear all the instruments and notes and effects whereas a song like Underneath the Stars sounds muddy and washed out to me.
Either way i think most hardcore Cure fans will like this.

 To Date, there are 5 Cure albums needed in your collection... Sep 26, 2009
The best Cure albums to date (for me anyway) are: Disintegration, KIss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, The head on the Door, The Walk (EP) and Bloodflowers. Everything else I can do without. And nothing after Bloodflowers comes remotely close to being worthy of adding to this list.

Has a classic sound to it and a very dreamy kind of sound... beautiful. At the same time, different.
Best album in years! May 06, 2009
The Cure are a multifaceted gem of a band. They have such a diverse catalog that they attract various groups of fans with different tastes...as is evidenced by the wide variety of opinions about their last several albums. With that said, I already know some people will not agree with me, but I think this is the best album since "Wish". I did not care for "Bloodflowers" except for Maybe Someday (which is great). "The Cure" did not impress me either except for Taking Off, which I love. "Wild Mood Swings" had a couple of gems, but "4:13 Dream" has the most to offer since "Wish". Several of the songs harken back to the earlier style of my two favorite albums: "Kiss Me..." and "The Head on the Door". I hope The Cure create music for many more years to come, but if this happens to be one of their final albums...it's a great one to end out an amazing career. A very sincere thanks to an unparalleled band who could bring complex multilayered mood and emotion to each and every song.

 Intolerable Mix May 06, 2009
I'm not going to make this a long-winded technical review. The Cure is my favorite band, and I was thrilled to get a new CD by them. But happiness quickly took a turn for disappointment when I listened to it. The songs, in my opinion, are very good. Unfortunately, I can't enjoy them because - as other reviewers have criticized - the mixing on this CD is incredibly poor. Muddy, dissonant, unbalanced. I think that (and I say this in all seriousness) I could have gotten a better result producing this on my home computer. I don't know what they were thinking releasing this CD as is.
