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

[drowning]

the first love is always the mother :-)

from COF :

From a reliable source, the new album is currently scheduled for release on May 6th, 2008 in the US. If that date sticks, look for the European release on May 5th.

-

that would be four days before the US-leg of the tour kicks off.

Thanks for the info [labyrinth].
That would be very good if they release the album in May
So let's wait and see

by the way the 4tour book seems to hint that we'll be having 33 songs:

"spring 2007 saw the cure back in the studio continuing work on the 33 new songs slated for their forthcoming double CD release..."

That's a lot of songs!   Maybe 25 or so on the double cd  and the rest b-sides...?

I read somewhere that six of them are instrumentals.

You don't seriously believe in something that's written in a Cure tourbook, do you? Just printed words, they have no worth ...

hmm well did you see me saying "i believe the new album will have 33 songs!"? instead, i think i did use words "seems to hint", if that means anything to you...

and no, i don't "believe" something/anything that a source like a tour book might say. for instance, the book also says:
"in 1999 the band completed the recording and mixing of what many regard their best studio album so far, the Grammy nominanted Bloodflowers". 'bloodflowers' is the album that gets nominated as possibly the best cure album ever? - come on, surely not.
so no oso, i don't go all ooooh and aaah over anything cure-related just because it's cure-related.
still, i don't see anything wrong in posting pieces of info, even if it's only "possible info" or even if it turns out to be completely false in the end.
also, and as i did state the source for this info, so anyone who reads it is free to judge whether he/she thinks it's relevant and reliable or whether it's not. so in this respect whether or not i believe it's true or not is actually irrelevant.

They may have WORKED on 33 songs  but whether they will all be recorded on the release or not...........I certainly hope its true     

[japanesebaby]

ok i see now, i shouldn't have said "we'll be having..." but "they have been working on...".
because that's what i meant, actually.
sorry to have spread misleading info by choosing my words in a poor fashion....

Don't worry about it Marika, some people just like to "split hairs".        I would think most intelligent people understood what you meant....

No need to be offended like that! I was just saying that info in a tourbook (especially when it's about The Cure) usually isn't worth the paper it's been printed on.

It's like the end credits of Trilogy, where we were promised a remaster of Disintegration being released in 2004.

What does concern me is that there are still structural changes being made to songs that are presumably singles, and the album release date is less than 3 months away?  I dunno........

don't see all 3 of them as singles, can't imagine A Boy... being released as a single for example - hm, could be the same as with Wild Mood Swings, where they introduced Mint Car, Want + Jupiter Crash on the 1995 festivaltour.
on the other hand, structural changes show that they finetuned the songs for the album + did really work on them inbetween Mexico + the Euro tour.

[rodney]

A very good point.  Did Please Project have sound the same on both shows in Europe so far?
