Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Rotten and BoringIt had to happen. With this album Robert Smith's seemingly eternal muse just quivered, coughed out it's lungs and died. Oh, it's dull. Tired and boring and lacking one shred of interest. It doesn't even really sound like the Cure. I don't even care why it's so bad. Don't waste your money here. God, it's just so awful. Rating:  - Severely underrated!I have all the Cure albums and this one does NOT deserve the bad press it receives. Far from thinking it's their out-and-out worst record I actually think this is one of their better ones! The title says it all - "Wild Mood Swings" - therefore those who expect a cohesive album are in for a shock. Pretty much all styles are given the Cure makeover here and I think that's what puts people off. You can't get into a certain mood and stay there; the album has you bopping, then slitting your wrists and everything inbetween! It's supposed to be like that, hence the title! Besides; The Top, Head On The Door and Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me have more or less followed the same formula. It's not their best album but did anyone seriously expect that several ... Read More: Rating: - The Cure's problematic 1990s album.Wild Mood Swings remains one of the Cure's poorest albums- Smith was stretched by chemicals & extra-curricular activities on 1984's The Top & debut 3 Imaginary Boys has some patchy moments (hence the Boys Don't Cry issue). The Cure had several problems- they'd become huge, a Pink Floyd style brand & so the two projected albums for 1992 were diluted down to one (Wish)- which saw their commercial peak & pretty much summarised The Cure: a slightly schizophrenic band who meshed acoustic pop with gloomy dream rock & existential angst (not to forget the odd psychedelic experiment). Then following the epic Wish Tour that saw some band members leave either temporarily with illness (Simon Gallup) or permanently (Boris ... Read More: Rating: - 10 out of 10 for trying, but you're trying TOO hard !!!!!This album appears as a quite obvious attempt by The Cure to almost make a compilation album made entirely of new songs (if you follow my meaning..?). This is reflected in the albums title Wild Mood Swings, which was to suggest that finally you could hear The Cure's different styles all brought together on one album. What the band seemed to have forgotten is that they had already done that on 1987's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, which happened to be a brilliant album and at 17 songs in length represents far greater value. Anyway W.M.S. kicks off with Want, which is one of the few really brilliant songs on the album and was in fact quite a taste as to the direction the band would go in for the follow up album, Bloodflowers (2000). The ... Read More: Rating:  - This is a low.This album is a bit of a mess. While there are a couple of classic Cure moments, "Want" and the last few songs stand out, the main impression that you get is of a band going through the motions. "Strange Atraction" and "Mint Car" are strong contendors for the very worst songs the Cure recorded and it is little wonder that this album effectively killed off the band's career. For a classic Cure album, try Disintergration or 17 Seconds, avoid this one at all costs. |
