album review

4:13 Dream may open with the doomed romanticism of "Underneath the Stars," but that slow-crawling mini-epic is a feint, momentarily disguising how this is the Cure's poppiest album since 1992's Wish. But despite the preponderance of sprightly tempos and singsong hooks, nothing about 4:13 Dream feels especially light, perhaps because Robert Smith chooses to pair these songs with a heavy dose of angst. On the "The Reasons Why," the catchiest tune here, Smith sings about suicide with no trace of irony. The pristine production emphasizes Smith's stylized mannerisms -- nowhere more so than on "The Only One," where his caterwauls are clearly articulated. Buried in the back of 4:13 Dream are two songs with hooks that nevertheless dig underneath the skin: "The Perfect Boy" and "This. Here and Now. With You." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

  - The Cure never fails to surprise me. This album is very good, displaying a bit more of the band's upbeat melodies. However, there are major flaws in the production and in the recording of several tracks. For example, the backmask of Robert Smith's vocals in Underneath The Stars made it a little difficult to enjoy, but still, the song made a good impression of the album. The Hungry Ghost has some lyrics aimed at society and such and the love songs, "The Only One", and "The Perfect Boy" scream original Cure stuff sounding similar to some songs such as Just Like Heaven on the Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me album. It's Over is a great way to end this great album.
