1001 Albums Summary

Fascinating rises and falls, melodically and thematically. Obsessed with My Old Man

A deeply sweet reminder of Cuban music's duality: the rhythm and beat entwined with lyrics of lost love, violence, death, and disaster.

Could be described as an album you put on when its drizzling outside and you don't want to go anywhere. The Cure definitely has better albums (more cohesive, more technical) but there's something there after listening through start-to-finish. I could easily see myself returning to this again. I wouldn't recommend this as The Cure Album but it fits well in their discography, and I like the dreamy, smeared effects and echos in the tracks.
