Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: No one ever managed to nail aimless suburban alienation quite like The Cure, so sensitive yet so party-hearty, and 4:13 Dream, their thirteenth studio album and first in four years, lands in a musical landscape presently infested with their descendents. Yet Robert Smith and his old blokes can still show the young shavers how it’s done even as they enter their fourth decade as a working band. The wistful yet ominous opener "Underneath the Stars" keeps seeming to slip towards Pink Floyd’s "Wish You Were Here", making for a perfect exemplar of the Cure’s highly nuanced yet undeniably commercial English art-rock. "The Only One" manages to rework their own classic "Just Like Heaven", twenty years old and still soundtracking sports highlights, while "Switch" is febrile scratchy funk, which should be unconvincing yet sounds peculiarly contemporary right now. The woozy "Sirensong" simply refuses to settle into predictablility and even the lumbering and gloomy "The Real Snow White", owing plenty to Joy Division’s back catalogue, sounds ready for arenas rather than confined spaces. Enjoyable throughout and often effortlessly commercial, 4:13 Dream should depress many young people, especially those musicians who realise just how far they have to catch up. --Steve Jelbert Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - A Return to Cuckoo-VilleI wont go into as much detail as other reviewers have already done but overall this is a return to form for The Cure. While not Disintegration or The Head on the Door, 4:13 Dream is still a welcome return to the Cure's madcap eclectic style, it contains smiths crazed lyrics and guitar while the songs cover both morose and happy subject matter. Its mixture of styles reminds me of 92s 'Wish' no doubt because of the return of Porl Thompson on lead guitar, something that adds real flair to tracks such as Switch and The Real Snow White. While Kiss me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me and Wish did the 'mixed-bag' Cure style better 4:13 Dream is a much more accessible and fun album then the last 3 album the band have released.. in short not there ...

While this one may start more promisingly than the last, it soon descends into a mess of overbearing guitar, plodding drums and a complete lack of originality - something I never thought I would say about The Cure. It seems that the band is trying to rediscover the soundscapes of the brilliant Wish album - but saldy I doubt these tracks would even have made it onto b-sides during that period of the band's journey. Rating:  - New to the CureI had not really been a Cure fan; no reason really, they just passed me by in their heyday. I read a review of this and it was well rated so I bought it. An absolutely brilliant album; The Only One is an exceptional track. Buy it Rating: - Sadly, The Cure not at their best...After listening at 4:13 Dream album I have to say that the previous one proved to be far better in spite that Porl Thompson wasn't there. Dream 4:13 is weak without any feeling at all. Rating:  - Very sadAfter following The Cure since their first album, sadly, I feel it is time for a parting of the ways. Everything that made most of the previous Cure albums so rewarding has sadly evaporated with this muddled effort. I actually found their previous album to be up there with the best, but this is mostly dreadful. There are several reasons for this, but the abysmal production kills it before it even gets underway. It is totally flat and cluttered, with the reed thin vocals being mostly buried beneath a disorganised jumble of scattergun playing. The drummer is the main culprit, seemingly attempting to play with drum sticks, a shuffle beat on almost every track that would normally be more appropriate to skiffle club brushwork. Gone are ...
