Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a promotional release, this pairing features the dense, apocalyptic title track of The Cure's seminal 1989 record alongside its majestic, synthesized opener. It perfectly encapsulates Robert Smith's deliberate return to the sprawling, depressive atmospherics that defined the band's early career before their pop successes.
