Review

Alright, buckle up for a wild ride through The Cure's 'Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me'! This double album is like a musical Molotov cocktail, exploding with raw energy and a kaleidoscope of sounds. Recorded in France at Studio Miraval, it's got the band's signature gloom, sure, but they've cranked up the dial on experimentation and thrown in a whole new palette of colors. It's like they took their brooding goth aesthetic and dipped it in a vat of dayglow paint – and somehow, it totally works!

The Cure didn't just phone this one in, folks. They went for broke, capturing most tracks in one or two takes, giving the whole thing a punk-like urgency. You've got earworms like 'Why Can't I Be You?' and 'Just Like Heaven' that'll have you bouncing off the walls, right alongside deeper cuts that'll make you want to curl up in a dark corner and contemplate your existence. It's a freakin' emotional rollercoaster, but in the best way possible. This album didn't just break The Cure into the American mainstream – it kicked down the door and left a trail of glitter and tears in its wake. It's messy, it's beautiful, it's The Cure at their most audacious and brilliant. - Sydney
