[@retromusings]

They sure are!!

[@lauce3998]

love this album

[@retromusings]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the album. The Cure are just awesome!

[@sdmm9591]

I have that 2001 Greatest Hits Acoustic album on cd and it's really fantastic. "Songs of a Lost World" is getting fabulous reviews so far and their streaming of their live concert for their new album really blew me away.

[@retromusings]

Everyone is saying how amazing the concert was. I will watch it once I have listened to their new album. Thanks for stopping by.

[@nicksvinylbutty5488]

It's always nice to get hold of a new release by a favourite band and hear everything new & fresh for the first time etc... I hope it was as good as you expected it to be 👍👍👍

[@retromusings]

It's a blind buy and I'm going to listen to it once I have the house to myself! I have no music room so would like to hear it without any distractions. Thanks for stopping by.

[@hellterskeltor]

The cure will always be the best band ever ❤️ 😊

[@retromusings]

Couldn't agree more. So pleased they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks for watching.

[@darkshadow8330]

It’s a great album. Not an easy listen but great just the same. One of their best.

[@retromusings]

Thanks for your feedback. I will listen to the album next week.

[@eelponna3145]

This lady has impeccable tastes in music!

[@retromusings]

Many thanks for your kind comment and stopping by to watch. Take care.

[@miameramusic]

Didn’t even realize this was out, thanks for the info & LOVE the Astro Boy profile pic!

[@retromusings]

The album is getting overall pretty good reviews. Yes. I'm definitely an Astro Boy fan. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@vmax2024]

The Cure is one of those classic timeless bands that will never fade. Wonderful how you celebrate them with your passion for their music. Enjoy that white vinyl edition and those cds.

[@retromusings]

Yes. They will never fade. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@moremindfulness]

After watching this, I'm even more excited about picking up a copy. Nice idea about buying it "blind". Agree it's harder to be surprised these days thanks to social media.

[@retromusings]

Glad you agree about just too much info out there. Hope you get your copy sooner rather than later. Many thanks for watching.

[@lauce3998]

Great Album.

[@retromusings]

I'm looking forward to listening to it without any distractions next week on my day off from work. Many thanks for stopping by.

[@AlwaysSunnySideUp]

As a big Cure fan, it's cool to see you have a very respectable collection of their albums. I like their 1980s music the best.

[@retromusings]

Glad you think so. Many thanks for watching.

[@altosplays]

I loved the new album. I listened to it on digital, I can't wait to get the LP version.

[@retromusings]

Oh wow. Fantastic. I haven't listen to the album yet. Will do it this weekend! Thanks for stopping by.

[@cjsilvestremusic]

Love this video! I love the new album as well!

[@retromusings]

Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@This-Is-Music]

Cool that you received it on release day :) Enjoy spinning it,

[@retromusings]

Will do. Thanks for stopping by.

[@tomandjerryadventures]

Fantastic your copy arrived so fast and undamaged. The Cure's live concert launching the album was incredible.

[@retromusings]

That's what I've heard so far about the concert. I will watch it after I've listened to their new album. Thanks for stopping by.

[@greenalishi222]

Such a cool record!

[@retromusings]

That's what everyone is saying. Hope to listen to the album next week when no one is around in my home. Can listen to it without any distractions. Thanks for watching.

[@VictorEnnis-n1w]

Terrific video for a terrific band. I used to dance to The Cure songs as a young teenager in the 80’s. And have loved them ever since. Respect for your decision to experience music like we did back in those days. You took a risk on an album and went on an audible adventure. Of course with The Cure I doubt too much risk is involved as they are an amazing band. I was too tempted to hear the song Alone when it was first offered up and I have to say I was blown away by it. I too have ordered the album and have avoided listening to any more of their songs on it until it arrives. Have an awesome time spinning that album and have a great day.

[@retromusings]

Yes. It's pretty much a blind buy. I am waiting for the right opportunity to listen to the new album uninterrupted in my home as I don't have a music room and my record player is in a shared room. Hope your copy arrives soon and wishing you a happy listening experience! Thanks for watching.

[@boatingguy6469]

I purchased the digital copy and spent a premium to buy #268 of the glow in the dark vinyl release. This is an amazing album. By far the best since Disintegration. There isnt a bad song and it was worth waiting for. As for the young lady in this video. You need to get Faith /Carnage Visors Deluxe Edition. I know you will like it. Cheers! 😊

[@retromusings]

It's been getting overall excellent reviews. It's so exciting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on their latest album. Will check out Faith/Carnage Visors Deluxe Edition. Thanks for putting it on my radar.

[@Violette-k1w]

THE CURE KING OF ROCK BEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD ! 🍁🍂🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🍂🍁

[@retromusings]

Yes. Couldn't agree more.

[@krigge]

You are awsome!

[@retromusings]

Thanks for your kind comment and stopping by here to watch the video. Take care.

[@billdickey9134]

Good to know there is a new The Cure album, I heard it from you first!!! I agree, a favorite band deserves a proper listening to beginning to end, without any influences from singles, videos etc....coming out beforehand.....

[@retromusings]

So pleased you think so about the listening experience I mentioned. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@JP-uu8vf]

You definitely need The Top! Great album.

[@retromusings]

Yes. For sure. Thanks for stopping by.

[@lindaleg3659]

Love the older stuff by the cure. #Forrest

[@retromusings]

Same here. "A Forest" is one of their best songs in my opinion. Love the long instrumental intro before Robert Smith starts singing. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@BeaSides]

Absolutely loving this record already. We have been listening to it digitally until the vinyl comes in Thursday for us! You have a Great Cure collection!

[@retromusings]

It's been getting amazing reviews. I'm aiming to listen to the album next week when the house is empty and I won't be interrupted! Happy listening and thanks for watching.

[@charlesf2804]

Congratulations for scoring this LP. You're a big fan of The Cure, obviously, and the excitement level is high. Here's hoping you'll enjoy it as much or more than receiving it. We are alike in this respect, buying an LP (or CD) sound unheard because of our trust in the band or artist. I did that quite a bit back in the day.

[@retromusings]

Yes. It was pretty much a blind buy. I am waiting for the right moment to listen to the new album uninterrupted at my home. Hopefully it will be sometime next week. Many thanks for watching.

[@tumbleweed-z5l]

That's fantastic. I'm also a fan of The Cure and have most of their music on cd. Hope to pick up that deluxe cd set too.

[@retromusings]

That's great. Hope you will enjoy having the deluxe edition of the cd. Thanks for watching.

[@stillinhere]

I was amazed at how quickly the vinyl arrived at my house, too. I did hear some of the songs live already. I went to the Cleveland show then watched some streams now and then. That was last year, when we weren’t sure if the album would come out at all.

[@retromusings]

Enjoy your copy. I will listen to the album this weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Nice video. Love the Cure too. Looking forward to picking up this album, probably this weekend. I put up a fun video yesterday. Cheers

[@retromusings]

Thanks for visiting and watching. Much appreciated.

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

@ I picked up that Cure album, and can’t wait to give it a spin.

[@badvinyl4531]

Nice Cute collection . You are into the Cure like I'm into Siuoxse and The Banshees. Robert Smith was actually a part of the Banshees for a short time. .will have to sample the Cure's new album. Keep the fun videos coming!

[@retromusings]

Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@tomek453]

Nihayo! my fav album is Bloodflowers, greet from Poland.

[@retromusings]

Many thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@maxwashingtonmusic7000]

Awesome! I’ll check out their latest album. Great band! And I’ll check out that acoustic album. That’s probably very interesting. Robert Smith is a great singer. I wish Bono would do a bunch of acoustic blues or country songs. Stipe too. That would be interesting. Cheers 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

[@janveen1150]

Bono😂

[@kimchi_b]

The Tiny Desk (?) performance by Bono and The Edge (on acoustic) is pretty special imo, and I'm not a big U2 fan, so check it out if you haven't already!

[@maxwashingtonmusic7000]

@ Thanks! I’ll check it out! My favorite Bono performance is Dreaming With Tears in My Eyes, from the awesome Jimmie Rodgers tribute album. Dylan put that album together.

[@retromusings]

That would really be fantastic. If more artists could do acoustic versions of their hits, would be really awesome. Paul Weller has done quite a few and other 80s bands have done them too like Psychadelic Furs Richard Butler and his Ghost in You song.

[@glennwilliamson889]

Faith is one of my favourites. Enjoy the new album.

[@retromusings]

Oh Cool! Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

I have been debating on this album, sometimes bands lose their edge after 3 or 4 decades. I will need to stream this. I’m glad you got this, love your excitement

[@retromusings]

Hi Interestingly enough, Rick Beato did a video about how bands are at their prime/peak in the early stages of their music from 20s to 30 years of age and after that, the dynamic of the music they are producing changes as they get older and usually the output is never better than when they were successful in their early years. I love The Cure's music in the 1980s. Looking forward to listening to it once no one is home to distract me! hopefully it will be this weekend. Thanks for watching.

[@johnbellamy3406]

I hope you enjoy the new Cure album. I've never been a huge fan myself. They were very popular when I went to college in the late 1980s. Most of my friends were big fans. I think Robert Smith takes very seriously the huge appreciation of his work form all the fans around the world.

[@retromusings]

I'm hoping to listen to the album as soon as I have the house all to my else so I can listen uninterrupted. Smith is certainly the driving force behind the band and its longevity. Many thanks for watching.

[@kimchi_b]

So happy for you you got your versions on release day! Alas here in the UK my three (white vinyl, triple CD and double cassette) haven't arrived yet, which was upsetting as I also missed the tickets for the amazing Troxy show, so didn't watch the opening full album performance (like you I want to hear the full album first), but the rest was fantastic!

[@retromusings]

That's very odd. I'm in the UK too and Royal Mail delivered it at 8am Friday on the day of its release. I did order it directly from The Cure's website. Hope your order arrives sooner rather than later. Will watch the concert once I have listened to the full album properly. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@kimchi_b]

@@retromusings Thank you! Yes I ordered from there too, but quite late, and there have been quite a few reports of stock issues so I guess it was more popular than they expected! I look forward very much to it all arriving, and very glad I got the triple CD/BD in particular as the Atmos mix is meant to be by far the best :)

[@kimchi_b]

@@retromusings I got a dispatched email today about the triple CD and double cassette so should be here tomorrow hopefully! It seems like my white vinyl isn't included, I hope they can get more, but just glad to get the triple CD as the BD mixes are meant to be the best! For anyone who has the black vinyl I'd suggest playing it as some batches have been pressed off-centre and are defective, and I'll certainly be checking my white vinyl too (if I ever get it) cheers!

[@davidellis5141]

I just watched the 3 hour concert at The Trotsky & it was fantastic. Picked up the album last night at midnight & its better than I hoped 😊. It's my no doubt Album Of The Year. Enjoy 🙂.

[@VinylandKicks86]

the concert YT live stream was top notch they gave the fans everything they had world class band i love the Cure.

[@retromusings]

I will watch the concert after I have listened to the album. I'm just waiting for the house to be empty so I can listen to the new album uninterrupted. Happy listening with your copy and many thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@marcoconcepcion235]

you're missing a couple other essentials: wish and bloodflowers

[@retromusings]

Yes. There are a number of Cure albums I don't have. Will certainly try and pick those up sooner rather than later. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@lechef1794]

Hi RM, at least you have been sensible and only bought the one vinyl I have somehow ended up with 4, versions. The white band store only one you have, the grey marbled indie stores one, the Spotify fans picture disc and the Blood Records glow in the dark picture disc with heat sensitive cover 😱 The dolby atmos mix on the bluray sounds amazing if you have the setup for it, yes I bought the deluxe cd aswell, I may have a problem 🤪 I justify it to myself by saying its the first new album in 16 years so using man maths that's one album every 4 years just all bought at once 😂

[@retromusings]

We only live once so enjoy all those copies. Looking forward to listening to the album this weekend. Thanks for watching.

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

RM I only had one 12" by the Cure and a couple of singles so I started trying to fill out the Cure when I got back into vinyl. saw then on the Head Tour back in 85 and they were great. I remember Roberts massive hair coming down some steps to the stage. Recently got Standing on the Beach but I think I'll wait till I've got the earlier albums before getting anything recent. Btw, are you collecting ladybird books? I have 4 or 5 on the shelf.

[@retromusings]

Never too late to pick up Cure albums. I love the Ladybird books. Discovered them after stumbling across a huge Ladybird Exhibition on its history and all their illustrators/artists in Bath early this year. We never had anything close to the Ladybird books when I was growing up in the US. I am so impressed with illustrations and the amount of information those books have for very young readers. I think the British schoolchildren were much more ahead then their counterparts in America. Thanks for stopping by.

[@nessie46]

The vinyl is definitely the way to go with this album - nuances come through that just aren't there on spotify / other digital platforms. I was a little shocked by the difference!

[@retromusings]

That's very interesting. Thanks for sharing that and stopping by to watch.

[@pitmatix1457]

The Cure are my second favourite band and after such a long wait I'm glad that "Songs of a Lost World" is so good. For Cure vinyl you don't have I'd recommend the goth double bill of "Pornography" and "Faith". "Wish" is also a fantastic album.

[@retromusings]

Yes those are killer albums too. I have them on cd. Couldn't agree more. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@walterfechter8080]

"Just Like Heaven" (The Cure) For my heavenly-resplendent wife, Barbra Rose (RIP). 😇🕊🌹

[@retromusings]

My all -time favourite Cure song.

[@DHC2040BNW]

Love your videos and The Cure 🙂 . Went through a lot of your videos that I had missed and learned about some artists that I didn’t know of before. Good call on taking in the whole album 👏 I don’t know if you have heard these artists or not but I thought I would share them in case you haven’t. Galaxie 500 - “Today” or “On fire” Sparklehorse - “Good Morning Spider” and “It’s A Wonderful Life” ( Mark Linkous so underrated and lost too soon) Hailey Heynderickx - “I Need To Start A Garden” (thoughtful soulful lyrics with an alt folk vibe) Caoilfhionn Rose - “Constellation” (The album is like a dreamy lullaby) Luluc - “Sculptor” Damien Jurado - “ Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son

[@retromusings]

I haven't heard of any of those artists and will definitely check them out. Thanks for pointing me in their direction. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@MyQuill415]

You've got all the classic Cure albums. Cool you made an effort to not hear any of the songs on the new album. Happy listening.

[@kimchi_b]

Missing a few very essential ones from the 80s!

[@retromusings]

Glad you think so. There are lots of other ones from the 80s I don't have but I enjoy them on cd so it's all good. Thanks for watching.

[@robertpetre9378]

Best Cure album since disintegration in my opinion.

[@retromusings]

Oh. Disintegration is my favourite Cure album.

[@MortenAastad]

Wow, it arrived today?!? Awesome. I went to my local record shop and bought the vinyl and the same cd. I was not aware that the marbled and the black vinyl were mastered by different people? I also did not listen to anything ahead of time for the same reason. And, tataaa, I also made a video 😊 Earlier this fall I got Disintigration in vinyl, finally, and wow… it was so so nice 😊 Enjoy your listening 😊

[@kimchi_b]

It's strange and a bit ridiculous they have different mixes. The expert opinion seems to be that they are all too muddled and brickwalled, and the best version is the Atmos mix from the limited CD, which should be the best stereo version when converted.

[@retromusings]

I had no idea different versions were mastered by different people. All the same, hope you enjoy the new album. Happy listening and many thanks for watching.

[@MortenAastad]

@@retromusings I only found out after my review, someone mentioned it in a video and I nearly did a old timey sit-com double take 😄

[@VinylandKicks86]

excellent new album from the Cure they just may have released another classic album. 🤷🏾‍♂

[@retromusings]

Wow. That's quite a testimonial. I can't wait to hear the new album. Many thanks for visiting and watching.

[@Associate37a]

Their live concert on the day of the album's release was incredible. It was three hours long. Great show. You can catch it on YT. I do wonder if this will be their last album.

[@stephanevillatte5970]

Robert clearly said recently that another album is almost finished...and maybe a third final one will see the light of day...they've recorded a lot of material during this 16 years gap.

[@retromusings]

That's wonderful to hear.

[@retromusings]

Oh wow. Everyone is saying it was phenomenal. I will watch it after I have listened to their new album. Thanks for stopping by.

[@Taffy84]

You need to add Faith and Pornography to your collection.

[@janveen1150]

Three Imaginary Boys wish,bloodflowers, The Cure's debut album, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), reached number 44 on the UK Albums Chart.[5] The next two albums, Seventeen Seconds (1980) and Faith (1981), were top 20 hits in the UK, reaching number 20 and number 14 respectively.[5] Between 1982 and 1996, the Cure released seven studio albums, all of which reached the Top 10 in the UK.[5] The most successful of these was Wish (1992) which reached number one in the UK and number two on the US Billboard 200.[5][6] The following three studio albums - Bloodflowers (2000), The Cure (2004) and 4:13 Dream (2008) - had mixed success, reaching numbers 14, 8 and 33 in the UK respectively.[5][7] The group released their fourteenth album, Songs of a Lost World, on 1 November 2024. It marks the group's first new album in sixteen years.

[@retromusings]

Yes there are a lot of albums I don't have but I do have them on cd. Will look out for the vinyl for sure. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@retromusings]

Great information there. Thanks for sharing it.

[@ellisivy4303]

Thanks for sharing! New subscriber here. I also ordered the white vinyl for the exact same reason as you did. Please let us know if and how the music resonated with you! ❤

[@retromusings]

Awesome. Happy listening. I will listen to the new album on my day off from work next week. I want to listen to it properly without any distractions. Thanks for stopping by.

[@stephanevillatte5970]

Hi... essentials in my opinion... ''pornography''... ''wish''...''bloodflowers''...also ''faith'' to complete the ''cold trilogy''...and ''boys don't cry''...this is not a compilation but the U.S version of the first album ''three imaginary boys''...a far better one with a stronger set list....last ....''join the dots'' a four cds set of b-sides and rarities/I buy the new one today...check out yesterday 3h show on youtube if you havent seen it ...they've played the new one top to bottom...I havent heard the masterpiece everyone's taking about...though I gotta hear the studio version a few times to have a definitive appeciation

[@retromusings]

Great info there. Thanks for sharing. Hope to watch the concert after I have listened to their new album. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@rabit818]

I predict the LP will remain sealed. The CD will get heavy rotation. Disintegration CD still gets a lot of play on my end.

[@retromusings]

I think Disintegration is my favourite Cure album. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@Violette-k1w]

You must have got FAITH 👈🏻 The saddest album i ever heard !!!

[@retromusings]

I don't have that album on vinyl and couldn't agree more, there's a beautiful melancholy with their music. Thanks for stopping by.

[@JohnSmith-x8s5g]

You're adorable.

[@retromusings]

You're too kind. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@the_normal]

This album is nothing special.Very dissapointed release.

[@kimchi_b]

In what way? I've heard many audiophiles say the mix is terrible (except on the BD on the limited triple CD) but many others are saying it's the best since Disintegration or Wish in terms of the songs.

[@retromusings]

Interesting feedback. Thank you for stopping by.

[@weeziepuff13]

I agree. Even though I love what Robert Smith has to say, I found it to be overproduced and too jammy. I prefer the early 80's stripped down version of the Cure which was more interesting and impactful IMHO.
