Who has ‘Songs of a Lost World’?

“Songs of a Lost World”, the new album from The Cure, is out. It first appeared on 2008’s “4:13 Dream.” In the ROLLING-STONE newsroom, the flat disc was shown higher. Read here a pros and cons of 14. Studio album by Robert Smith.

Kathedrale des Weltschmerzes

★★★★★

I would like to listen to these songs in a room, the man with fresh editorial staff. The Stube is very large and also comes from other Ecke. When you reminisce, deja-vus, and the London Philharmonic and Mozart, ‘A Forest’ and ‘Prayers For Rain’, and the whole history of The Cure woke up a mirror.

I don’t want any more Platte from The Cure. “4:13 Dream” for 16 years was a war – I had an album that was never recommended as Cure-Platte. Man LEBTE with Cure-Platten, and the letzte Cure-Platte, with the lebte, war “Bloodflowers”. The war in the year 2000.

This album was never released, after Robert Smith wrote a trilogy, the “Pornography” and “Disintegration” were very popular. Und Smith plays the records in a long concert as “Trilogy”. Yeah, it’s not like “Trilogy” plays out and sings different songs anymore.

King Lear dismisses Schmerzes

Irgendwann in der Zeit zwischen “4:13 Dream” und de new album war op een festival. The Cure treats like a band auf. It’s a dream and the field in front of the Bühne is black. All Zuschauer were jijammengeströmt. It’s no harm to me or to Robert Smith, but he did his best.

Robert Smith lived a holy life. There was war Puck, the Troll with the “Zomernachtstraum”, and there is King Lear who kidnapped Schmerzes. “Songs Of A Lost World” is a more romantic trauma from Verschwinden, from Betrachten des Mondes, from Vergehen der Zeit. “Alone”: We hear the characteristic keyboards, a small piano motif, the cracking guitar. It was a Tschilpen van Vögeln or a fern Bellen von Hunden. Vielleicht is the joy of the world, perhaps even the world of a world.

Und dann, nach Minuten, die Stimme ein, die einzigartig weinende: „This is the end of every song we sing/ We were always sure that we would never change/ And it all stops/ We were always sure that we are the same/ But it all ends/ Where did it go?”

The drum on the saucer is unglazed and static

Not everything on “Songs Of A Lost World” is so majestic, so big and wonderful. Aber Es is nevertheless majestic, large and wonderful. Reeves Gabrels plays guitar riffs in the kitschy orchestral sound of “And Nothing Is Forever”. The drum on the saucer is unglazed and static. Yes, it was noticeable that the Kregle Bass won so many more pop songs from the Cure.

Aber Robert Smith is no longer the rule.

The last piece is the “End Song”, which lasts for several minutes and can be heard. It begins with a keyboard motif and marching work. Dann comes with the powerful guitar hinzu of Robert Smith. If the button is small, a mandolin is out. The melody sounds like this, the drums play, become faster, the guitar becomes louder.

After five minutes, Robert Smith die Stimme: “I’m outside in the dark, staring at the blood-red moon/ Remembering all the hopes and dreams I had/ Wondering how I got so old/ It’s all gone, it is all gone/ I don’t belong here anymore/ I’ll lose myself in time/ It won’t last long/ Left alone with nothing/ The end of every song.”

There is a Klage that exists, a Kathedrale des Weltschmerzes. Kein Gott would help.

Das letzte Wort is “Nothing”.

Loblied auf die Zerstreuung

★★½

Phil Collins’ Gothic-Mozart beer. In “End”, “It’s Over” or “Endsong” you hear: Kein Musiker played Collins’ “First of the Final Farewells” with Robert Smith.

Nur, een “kronender erster Abschluss” “Songs of a Lost World” is not. There are no lyrics recorded with “You promised me forever…!” or “I wonder how I got so old…!”, everything went well. Das Werk hat auch Atmosphäre. Flachen. Aber kaum Tiefe. Bad Melodies. Keine Hits. Since Hit’s weight? Of course, and that is not an oberflächlicher answer. Jede Smith-Platte, himself the darkest, “Faith” and “Pornography”, are now our hits. See Dunkles, hell. With “Songs of a Lost World” both coming from the length of eight songs. Nur eight songs … your few songs, the greater the responsibility for your own self, it was to become the joints of the Gesamtwerks.

Smith worked very hard. Minute-long instrumental intros are played, but different when you get into “Pictures of You”, “Push” or “The Last Days of Summer”. Beets Copy-and-Paste-suspicious Wiederholungen. By any measure, if Simon Gallup has dialed in the bass on “Grunge,” it’s a compression mix with an unparalleled sound that’s been on the dial for 22 years.

Watch ‘And Nothing Is Forever’. Nach einem Adele-goes-Symphonica-artigen Intro (schlimm genug) bratzt Gallup unvermittelt hinein. Uncanny Valley effects are now included in the music. Apologists viewed this warning as a “disruptive idea.” It’s not like that anymore. Den Loudness-Bombast beet Cure-Alben said “The Cure” from 2004.

Simon Gallup said he adopted the composition of his work. Zeit seines Lebens muss sich Gallup gegen Vorwürfe wehren, er copyre mit seinem Spiel Peter Hook. “All I Ever Am” has now become more New Order in 1983 from the Cure hit “The Walk”.

Reeves Gabrels plays his guitar so quietly that he has been on the Cure Stage for 12 years. All Krachenden Gallup-Gabrels-Momente berauben Smith seiner Ausdruckskraft. Denn is a pop, not a rock musician.

The trade is now that large Fragen unserer Zeit?

At Smiths, the Lyriker must have a good influence on the intake. There has been no song sailing for The Cure for 16 years. Erwartungen gehen in Richtung „is there now a large part of the time?“. Zum Glück nicht. ‘Drone no Drone’ is as vaguely political as ‘Warsong’, which is one of the two Liebespaar-Trennung acts.

Smiths Worte mirror, it is a high misunderstanding, the time is not wider. There is an end to time. “I’ll lose myself in time / It won’t be long now / It’s all gone,” singer in “Endsong”.

The time that took up time has come to an end. Of all 14 Studios “Songs of a Lost World” started with “4:13 Dream” who are lonely, who are in the Herbst bzw. erscheinen. There is now a single winter album, “Bloodflowers”. The Cure has all the Klischees über Düsternis, Kalter Luft, Kaltem Regen, Kerzen, the Farbe Grau and the gesenkte Köpfe, no Herbstband. „Disintegration“ erschien im Monat, der alles neu power, Mai, „Pornography“ auch, „Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me“ anyway; “Faith” and “Seventeen Seconds” in April.

“Faith” was published in 1981 at the height of the Kalten Kriegs; The Gothic moving images resemble the reaction to the East-West Conflict and the drohendem Armageddon. Most of the “Faith” songs do not deal with the Neuzeit, including the medium-alterlich “Gormenghast” novel trilogy by Mervin Peakes.

Cure and Marillion

Smith also lies to the right Bücher. In “I Can Never Say Goodbye” there is the Phantastik-Schriftsteller Ray Bradbury, in “Das Böse kommt auf leeisen Sohlen” von een Dämon erzählt, der Familien auseinanderreißt: “Something bad comes this way / takes the life of my brother to steal away”. Smith has lost his brother (in the first Cure-Text), he lost his words. And then? Follow the song of the Marillion-Schlagers’ harmony “Kayleigh”. Wobei, that is the new Cure-Opus – a good melody.

“I Can Never Say Goodbye” is not a more relaxed, but a more weighty song. Erste mit erwähnung eines Familienmitglieds und damit intimer als jene berühmte Hymne an Smiths Ehefrau Mary Poole (“Lovesong”), die ohne ihre Nennung auskommt. “I Can Never Say Goodbye” features a solo recording of Hendrix, performed by Richard Huldigt 13 years ago.

Richard taught young Robert how to play the guitar and a musical instrument: Hendrix and Captain Beefheart. This solo is the most original, and Poole addressed Bart-Howard-Zitat on “Fly Me To The Moon” in “Lovesong”.

„Reaction“-Videos weinender Fans

More than 200 songs that Robert Smith has released since 1978. Unlike Maler, writers or Schausplayers, all pop musicians became a change of 40 nieces. Siehe McCartney, Depeche Mode, Sting, Prins, U2. Darum muss Smith isn’t that good. Cure fans are loyal to the world. Everything, Smith was Meinung nach Macht, ist Gold. It is possible to watch the “Reaction” videos of fans, who can no longer play together with Hören von “Alone” in an hour.

So the blind betrayals were very strong since Nick Cave was the victim of this, since no one would be disappointed, neither Kritiker nor Ben Wenigsten, including Thom Yorke, is an open mind, since neither Song-Skizzen zu veröffentlichen, weil er weiß, that is the reason for genius. wird . “Songs of a Lost World” means that I have found “… the best album with “Disintegration”-Rezensionen experiences. Die Freude über die Rückkehr ist zu gross.

Schwierige Frage als: Lieber schwache Cure als keine Cure meer? Yes, Hauptsache is bleiben. On the way to the wedding on Album 15. We performed live pieces, “It Can Never Be The Same” and “Another Happy Birthday”, featured in the 8-Song-Sammlung.
