A triumphant return if you ask me. They've never sounded better. This album is personal and from the heart which i wished more artists would take note off. Be true to yourself. Its not always about glory and adulation. He writes on his own terms not trends and i for one applaud him for it. I love the album ive not stopped listening to it!! Endsong is a masterpiece a symphony.
Mr. AllMusic published a very elaborate description and review! Yours too! Moreover, they perfectly demonstrate the full extent of this high-quality opus. I fully agree with the review. This is one of The Cure's best albums with: 1. Pornography; 2. Disintegration; 3. Songs...; 4. The head...; 5. Kiss me... Several other reviews mention that this album is beautiful, but depressing. This album is more than that. The atmosphere, the sounds and the content form the expression of an inspired and skillfully presented work. That these critics consider the album depressing is an opinion, but the subjects treated and chosen go in the direction of a tragedy. When an artist chooses to talk about suicide, death, the end of things, it cannot be otherwise! Besides, if we focus on the titles alone, we find the essence of the subject: ... alone... nothing is forever... fragile... war... nodrone... never... end... There is nothing joyful there!!! Once the subject is understood, we enter the musical world and that is where EVERYTHING makes sense! The dissonant guitars, the repetitive and bewitching drums, the heavy bass, the atmospheric synths... everything conjures to transport us to the afterlife, if only we are sensitive to it. So I will dance on the Endsong as a man alone before the fate of the world with dark glasses that are worth as much as those of the pleasant but superficial ditties of the current songs and... so sad by their scope! The Cure deals with sad things, it is true, but my god it is joyful to get carried away and fly away with them!!! I will be at their next show in Quebec to celebrate their vision... and I will not be the only one... living from this collective divergence, shared with the joy in my heart of dancing on the sadness of this world!
@@pinkyfloydyfan1 Grea description. I totally agree and I’m glad you are do passionate about it! Personally it’s actually my second fav right now in terms of their catalogue
Great review and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Endsong really hit me so hard on first listen and I’d say it might even be song of the year for me so far 😁 Also, definitely agree with you that it’s one of the best comeback records of all time; just one of the most well-crafted, spellbinding albums that have released this year alongside Imaginal Disk. Once again great review!!! 😄✌️
Not here...for me the only songs qualifying are the 2 singles Alone and A Fragile Thing.... I personally treat anything released after Halloween, Nov 1 til the end of the year carrying over to the next year...Endsong already #1 song of 2025. I DOUBT ANYTHING GREATER COMES OUT.....UNLESS IT CAN NEVER BE THE SAME SCHEDULED FOR THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT B4 OCT 31 2025...NEXT ALBUM EXPECTED B4 AUTUMN 2025 WHEN THE BAND WILL TOUR, BUT ONLY AFTER THAT ONE IS RELEASED😎💀🖤💯🌧👀
Im really hyped to hear this album soon and return to this review! :D

@Jlunce Definitely!
This was my first time listening to The Cure, and they absolutely blew me away! Really awesome to hear them still sounding great in 2024
I would definitely check out their output from the 80s like Disintegration and Por**graphy in addition to the new record as they r both top tier

I have not listened to the album yet but this was a well crafted review
"A Fragile Thing" sounds good
Big disappointment. Did not like this album at all.
