STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A welcome return for one of the most important forces in music to date, The Cure. 'Song Of A Lost World' sounds like a band perfectly in sync with each other, perfectly pulling off these classic Cure sounds. It's bombastic and gloomy, beautifully evocative and hugely addictive listening. Superb.
