 Rating:  - Wish the World Away1992 must have been an unusual time to be in the Cure. After having released "Disintegration", a record that would eventually come to define the band, and having had to fight to get that album released, the world finally succumbed to the charms of the band. American success, hit singles, big tours, etc. However, in between 1989 and 1992, the entire musical climate had shifted, and the world into which "Wish" was released was very different from the times when "Disintegration" had appeared. Faced with the prospect of being challenged by grunge, baggy, and shoegazing, the three major genres of the day, the Cure retreated into their own little soundworld, releasing an album that didn't rely on current trends or sounds, and as such ...

It simply fascinates and evolves everytime you listen to it. By far the most amazing achievement from The Cure yet. A cohesive tapestry of the cure MAJIC. Just buy it..... Rating: - Very underratedThis album came out in 1992, when the Cure were pretty much past the peak of their popularity, and other musical styles, such as grunge and Britpop, were taking over our hearts and minds. Cure fans at the time responded to this album with their customary loyalty, but even they had a sense that something was not quite right, that the magic had faded slightly after the moody masterpiece, 'Disintegration'... A fresh listen to this album reveals that it is blessed with its fair share of Cure magic. There is some exquisite sadness ('To wish Impossible Things', 'Trust', 'Apart'), a mysterious, dreamlike yet uplifting love song (the underrated 'High'), and a moment of pure pop, which is one of the best pop songs they've ever recorded ('Friday ... Read More: Rating: - 'Wish'I've been a fan of the Cure for about a year, and on discovering that my friend had a copy of 'Wish', I hijacked it. I got through 'Open' (one of the louder songs, with Robert sounding positively deranged at points), 'High' (which, in my opinion, shouldn't have gone on the greatest hits: it's not one of their best, just the poppiest on the album) and 'Apart' (slowed down and quite depressive, but very good) liking all the songs but being fairly indifferent, but it was 'From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea', 'Wendy Time' and 'Doing The Unstuck' which gave me a wake-up call as to how good 'Wish' actually is. The guitar and bassline repeat most of the way through the song, matching the imagery of the lyrics perfectly. Suddenly, halfway ... Read More: Rating: - What an album !!!!Wish was released in 1992 at a time when the British post-Madchester "shoegazing" guitar-driven music scene was enjoying great success and the grunge movement from America was also nearing it's height. It's often said that most American guitar bands would be a lot better if they were actually British, and this album manages to capture the feel of both of the above scenes, while retaining it's own very English, very Cure feel, which of course only The Cure can do !! The album opens up with Open. Ha ! Ha ! and guess what ? It ends with End !!! Such joviality from such a serious band ! Being serious, Open kicks off with a bass guitar intro that Peter Hook (New Order) would sell his grandmother for, then thumping drums come ... Read More: |
