Free Music Notes for Sleep When I'm Dead (Mix 13)
Free Music Review: not the best, but still good
Hit: 4 Stars
First of all, i love all the people ripping this song and saying that the cure are done for, that they are too old.whatever, they must have not listened to the same disc i did then.
Sleep When Im Dead - this is not the best single song so far (freakshow is underrated due to not being that great live), but it grows on you like ivy to an old house not being kept up. The repeative lines of "sleep when im dead, you angels" drags the song down a little but it has a decent groove to it and after a couple of listens u are bobbing your head and pounding your hand on the steering wheel of your car to the bass/drum line.
Down Under- another great b-side from a band that could have a hit album with just b-sides. This song is not as wah-wah pedal as all kinds of stuff but somewhat similar. Definetly alot like something from Wish album. The lyrics are actually better here than on Sleep when im dead.
Verdict- This is worth it, trust me, especially if u have purchased any of the other singles. If you havent then i would recommend starting with Freakshow or The Perfect Boy (which is coming out August 13th and prolly the best song coming out). Sleep when im dead is the weakest of the singles but dont lose faith in the new album, i think this is going to be a big surpise hit of 2008/2009.

No this single isn't going to change the world or stop world hunger. But as far as Cure tunes go, this is a classic. Bob's doing just what he wants, just like he's done since 'Japanese Whispers'. Aside from the fact thats its a 'head on the door' out take, its got everything this old school cure fan expects-psychedelic guitars, textural layers, and lyrics that reward multiple listens. Oh and he's taking the piss outta all the naysayers to boot. 'Down Under' is a great trippy, aural tune that sticks in the brain and leaves me wanting more. It's great to hear Porl back on guitars. If that's a throw away track I cant wait to see whats on the album.Free Music Review: The Curious World of B-Sides Part II

As with my previous review of "The Perfect Boy", if you are a long time Cure fan you'll find something to like about this single and b-side. Be it Robert's determined voice or Porl Thompson's guitar work. Put this silver platter on a high end system and you'll hear the sonic landscape created by these British music icons. And if you don't, simply hit repeat.Free Music Review: No complaints here.

The first song "Sleep When I'm Dead" is absolutely wonderful...verry remny of early Cure songs from albums like "Disintegration" and "Pornography". The second song is just ok...not bad. My favorite thing to say here is that allthough the music is raw...the qaulity is fantastic. Verry loud...a well produced album..err, siingle...whatever.Free Music Review: You like "The Head on the Door" Album ?

Then you like this song.
It's a pulled out from "The Head on the Door" Album session.
I like it !!! - I just don't like to wait, until October now, for the new (13th) album.
