The album got pushed to 2008, more like an April/May release

[bloodflowersuk]

There is a lot of talk here about the title of the new album but surely this is 4:13 as descibed in the concert programmes !!!!

A BIT OFF, BUT ONE THING THAT BOTHERS ME IS WILL THEY USE THE WORDS "RETURN" AND "REUNION" IN ADVERTISING AGAIN?

I HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY NEW CURE ALBUM GETS PRAISED AS SOME KIND OF RETURN FOR THE BAND, AS IF THEY DISBANDED IN 1992 AND THEN STARTED REUNIONING FROM TIME TO TIME...

JUST A THOUGHT, YOU KNOW...

no, I think you have something serious here JANKO.. hhmm.. well, the only real 'constant' in the band.. is BOB.. so why don't they just call it "The Robert Smith Band'..?  ( The Smiths have already been slaughtered somewhere.. poor, poor guys.. ) 

.. or just 'Robert Smith".. and have him do his first solo album .. with whatever muso's he picks and chooses..? 

[bloodflowersuk]

Robert Smith likes the band to believe that every project could be the last one. This provides a certain intensity to the music and brings out the best performances. See YOUTUBE for interview with him discussing this.

Also, maybe after each album they think '"That's it, no more", but something, somewhere, somehow re-ignites that flame which sees Robert crave to continue. And aren't we glad THAT happens? Would be so easy to just stop, not put yourself and others under the pressure, to sit back and be happy with what you have done, to enjoy your years, relaxing, knowing that you are secure, you don't have to "work".
Well, Robert just can't do that! He lives and breathes his music,it is what keeps him going, feeds his soul and quenches his desires. Sure, the album was promised earlier, but hey, its coming, we know that! Lets hope he retains that fire in the belly for a little while yet.

remember the famous quote after disintegration that simon made about the 90 tour "the old bastard wants to play again"... or something like that.. so Melly, I reckon you're spot on

[Janko]

YES, BUT THAT JOKE ISNT FUNNY ANY MORE... TO ME AT LEAST!

Christmas should be the latest.  It MUST come out in '08 or the "every four years" theory is shot to shit.

So where is all this September talk coming from?

I guess that whole postponing of the tour because of the "new album" was a bunch of shit.  :roll:

Has this ever happened with any of their other albums??
This is the first album I've really followed since they announced releasing it so I'm just wondering if they have done this before...where they keep pushing it back and....and back...and back a little more..

[Janko]

MAYBE THE ALBUM MATERIAL ISNT ANY GOOD, SO ROBERT OR THE LABEL STARTS TO HASITATE...

MAYBE THE ALBUM MATERIAL ISNT ANY GOOD, SO ROBERT OR THE LABEL STARTS TO HASITATE...

well, as much as i'd want to see a good new cure album out sometime in this century, i have to say i really wouldn't mind if they kept on hesitating for another year (or two - or ten) before deciding to release 'freak show' as a single.
stuff like that song - it calls for hesitation...
