Wow! Who is this band and where did they come from?! Knowing nothing about this hip and much hyped new band, I picked up their debut self-titled album. Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
Man, people just don't get anything anymore. I like that you wrote it the way you did, because, quite frankly, that's what it sounds like The Cure did with this record. What is wrong with you? Well I think for a band that has been around since THE 70'S they are still pretty hot...they are not friggin emo...they were around before "emo" was mouthed from the lips of babes...listen to pornography if you think theyre emo...get a clue... Flat out average. The Cure is a great band and I really like this cd but old stuff is better i went to see them for this years curiosa festival. i dont know about this new album i wasnt really enjoying it. it was dull. the only time i was having fun was when they played the classics. the cure is good but they could of done a better job at this album i went out and got it just cause robert smith said it was the only time he was happy recording something. others told me it was a masterpiece. but im not to fond of this one really. lets all excuse benz from this review. we know he tried. i give him some credit for the attempt to make us all laugh. oh well... my ego is only damaged a little. I still think I'm cool. Horrible horrible review...not one bit of it was informative or funny. this site has the worst reviews I've ever read This album is pretty good, nothing mind blowing, but the cure still make some damn nice songs. its alot better than that new midtown album for sure. Seriously, worst review ever. I understand it is supposed to be a joke. It just isn't funny. It's one year ago. You're Tony Lovato. You front the Maverick punk band Mest. Your girlfriend just broke up with you. You think: A few weeks ago, this column profiled Tony Lovato, leader of Blue Island pop-punks Mest, as he celebrated the release of "Destination Unknown," the band's second album for Madonna's Maverick Records. Like many Chicagoans, I'm a fan. But the column prompted some disturbing e-mails and discussions on Internet message boards. That was a shit review, if you're going to be sarcastic at least be subtle about it. I can just see you now, chuckling to yourself as you write it. Well that was bollocks, don't listen to the people complementing it, they're as wrong and unintelligent as you. The Smiths, Morrissey, and this review all ride cock-horses. The Cure may be the only good pop thing to come out of the 80's besides glow worm. the final-paragraph sarcasm fell flat, i thought. Uh, are you fucking dumb? The Cure aren't new. They've been around for 20 fucking years. Another good "heavy" song by The Cure is "Wrong Number," which is sort of of the "Burn" vein, but I like it a bit more (just preference). Uh, are you fucking dumb? The Cure aren't new. They've been around for 20 fucking years. "Disintegration is the best album ever!" -Stan Marsh I've been told this is pretty good...I'll wait and see what this one's like. this review would be clever and witty if you were a fucking lobotomy patient. maybe i'm just too old now (20?), but how is the cure the new cred band? they're a fucking pop group, a big one at that, the beatles of the 80's. i can't see anyone being dumb enough to think the cure is some hip new band, that's why this review fails. Good review. I like the big hint at the end. i dont know why no one liked this review. i thought it was funny. good album as well. good to hear that someone is keeping tabs on the alterantive radio. keep up the good work The local alternative station is playing the hell out of "The End Of The World." I liked it at first, but it's just getting old now... "the cure sux. 1) this review was pretty funny the funny thing is that this album is probably the first cure album this reviewer actually listened to in it's full form. yes, you are right. Robert Smith doing guests on All of This gave his band street cred. They were joe-nobies b4. You dumb fuck! anyone who didn't get the joke... jeez. i lol'd! This album is awesome but I agree with the last comment, the reviewer should go drown themselves in a sperm broth dunk tank. Hey Reviewer, go fuck yourself for a shitty review. Who the fuck reviews these albums? you make yourself sound lik ea complete ass reviewing this album. Clever at first, then too much usage of the word 'new' to make your point. Score for the review. Yeah the "80's rocked!" joke is so overplayed that it's no longer funny yea was that supposed to be a joke or something with the whole review and such..no bad will everyone stop copying off the Mest review please? just because The Promise is 10 minutes long doesn't make it "epic". The Promise is a really boring song. The only thing interesting about it is the creepiness of the final lyrics, which I think is cool. the cure sux. Fuck. The B-Boys get a AOL conversation, now the Cure gets this? Eh, oh well, not like I was gonna write one. "i've never been a big fan of the cure but this cd won me over." Funny review. But eff you man. The new Cure cd is perfect. I have never heard anything nearly as good as this cd. that was the lamest attempt at being clever ive ever seen. lamest review i've ever seen in my life. Yeah. This score is for the 1980s. SOYBOMB, is it possible to please you? yes, you are right. Robert Smith doing guests on All of This gave his band street cred. They were joe-nobies b4. You dumb fuck! isn't this that band that got cool by doing guest vocals for blink? isn't this that band that got cool by doing guest vocals for blink? Review was funny at first but feels like it's trying to hard to be funny and ends up being lack luster. Hey all i listen to is like alexisonfire and screamo stuff... But i love the cure! hey look, i burned this comp. Off kazaa! and the smiths! I love the cure but this album is fucking terrible. shitty review. its unfortunate this passes for a compact disc review. the review is so so, nice sarcasm but i disagree with the actual content... come on, there's some seriously intense tracks on this disc... i've never been a big fan of the cure but this cd won me over. "lost", "us vs them" "the promise" all are amazing, the single is rpetty good and the rest, well, there's none that i'd say are below decent. Review's funny, but the cure...you can't suck more than that. Heh. heh. Funny review....but, yeah, the Cure should stay broken up. "So check out this band before they disintegrate. " There's nothing wrong with changing the review formula once in a while. Hah, funny review. Definately captures the whole idea that The Cure are the new "it" band to reference to gain scene points. Seems like everyone these days talks like they have liked them since the early 80s, even if that means that they were big Cure fans at 4 years of age (or less). Honestly, the sarcastic reviews were initially interesting, but now, everyone thinks they're suddenly a comedic genius for making sweeping introspective statements that any jaded, self-conscious music-socialite could produce. Are you joking? Who are the cure? have you never heard of Robert Smith? The cure have been around for more than 25 years. Hopefully you are not being sarcastic so i'm not the one who ends up looking like an idiot. Awesome review. Haven't heard the record yet, though. |
