I can't believe I am officially half way through this project. Have I really listened to 500 albums? Perhaps the truly amazing part is that I have written 500 posts about music. I have never claimed to have intelligent opinions on music, but if my country has taught me anything, it's that incompetence should not stand in the way of achievement! Besides, if you only complete projects you know you will excel at, you are never going to grow. So thank you to everyone who has gone on this journey with me! Let's hope the downhill ride doesn't include The Residents. Ah, memories.
Now to talk about Joy Divis-ahem, I meant The Cure! So this album is, predictably, a gloomy affair. I think everyone appreciates solid gloom every once in awhile. Of course, this only works well if you are in the right mood beforehand. I recommend looking at pictures of present day Robert Smith. That will do the trick!
Happy 500!
RATING: 4/5
Happy 500!
ReplyDeleteFinally, I have catched up with you! Now I will follow your pace. :)
I am going to miss reading your posts everyday but probably my productivity at work will increase and you won't have a zillion of comments from me every week either. So it's a win-win for both of us.
I've found your opening paragrah hilarious and depressive at the same. Unfortunately my own country has a long history of "successful incompetence".
Anyway, to the music, I think the album is great althought not at the same level as the previous one.
Godspeed with the next 501! It's been a h... of a ride so far!
I love reading all your comments!! Congrats on your achievement too! I'll miss reading a zillion comments:(
DeleteCongrats on how many reviews you have done!!! I am in awe--truly!
