Finally I have listened to it enough times and the right time to declare:

I really do love it! All the songs in their own way!

somehow i feel little characteristics of kmx3/wish/the head/the top/ disi all fit in
upon my first listen, I didn't know what to think (apart from the singles uts/it's over that i had heard).... I couldn't describe what i felt..but now I feel it, exactly what it should be, This is the Cure. I love it.

I haven't noticed what else is coming out this week.  Any strong competition for The Cure?  It would be nice to see them finally get debut at #1 in the U.S. I remember Robert being upset about Janet Jackson beating them out for the top spot in '92.  Janet Jackson?

wow. you all have me so excited to buy it.

Don't be concerned.  It's a very good album, no matter what the naysayers may think.  It's no instant classic, nor is it another Disintegration or Wish, but it's well worth hearing and enjoying.

For sure.  It's a good album.  Not great in my opinion, but definitely has some well crafted songs.  Mostly, the problems people have with the new album are with the sound, not the songs.  I do wonder if hearing early versions during the tour and then the entire album from Rome tainted some of our judgments any?  I for one strongly prefer the live take of The Hungary Ghost and Underneath The Stars simply because all of the vocal effects aren't there.  Porl's guitar sounded better live, too.  Had I not heard the live versions, then there would be nothing to compare to.  Perhaps I'd enjoy them more?  Really difficult to say after the fact.

My copy arrived this morning (Saturday 25th, from HMV uk). 

Sounds great to me!

Well, I'm glad I heard the Rome versions first, because the sound quality was so much better than the album and it gave me a good first impression. Yes, there are some enhancements and layers that makes some of the album versions more interesting, but since the quality is so generally bad I really can't say I prefer the album in any way.

Although I have to say that the single and album versions of Sleep don't sound right to me at all. I'm really glad I heard the live versions in this case!

I think The Real Snow White might be my favorite of all the new songs. The way the guitar riffing mixes with the vocals is just really brilliant, in my opinion. And it's pretty much improvised the whole time, which keeps things interesting.

Porl really carries this song, and it's great to hear him back in the spotlight. We have to remember that these are really the only songs that were made especially for the 4-member lineup, so they really can have an advantage over many other songs when played live.

Hopefully they will play the majority of the album if there's a tour, because we already have proof that ALL of them can sound good live. It would be a shame to only play half of them and keep playing the same old stuff they've playing for the past 3 years.

I picked it up from a CD store yesterday (friday) in Adelaide, so surely it should be there in Melbourne, shop around and hopefully you'll see it!!

Agreed about the loudness... although I still love the new songs.  Can't wait to, at least, hear them in non-streaming form (as I've only heard them through Myspace).  There are some really good things going on in this new set - and I have hope for the future (not that I really lost hope).  I can only pray that next time around I am hired to produce and mix the album...

[othervoices]

Has anyone managed to transcribe any of the album for guitar yet?

Agreed.  I'd like to see around 8 played and have a few rotated in and out every other night.  That would leave PLENTY of room the old standards which Robert just can't seem to leave off the sets.  The thing is they'll need to tour before the "dark" album comes out.  Otherwise we'll end up getting probably three, maybe four songs from each of them and then Fascination Street, Lovesong, Pictures of You, Lullaby, FTEOTDGS, Inbetween Days, JLH, 100 Years...  :roll:
