Album Notes & Community Reviews
Shedding the dense gloom of their early 90s masterworks, The Cure delivers a highly eclectic, brightly orchestrated pivot on 'Wild Mood Swings'. The album bounces erratically between quirky, chamber pop-infused alternative rock and deeply lush, bittersweet romantic balladry.
