Free Music Notes for Bloodflowers
Free Music Review: An essential recording.
Hit: 5 Stars
For cure fans, cure haters, and those who have never heard the cure. This album will always be closest to my heart. Their follow up is better, but I will always love Bloodflowers the most. It is also the first Cure I ever heard, followed by pornography, and then disintegration. Neither of those albums are nearly this good.
Find it, and add it to your collection. Even as the only cure album in your collection, rest assured you have the one you need.
Bloodflowers Poster
Aussie reissue of 2000 album includes one bonus track 'Coming Up'. Polydor. 2004.No one revels in the sumptuous pleasures of melancholy like Robert Smith, the Cure's leading mopemeister. In Smith's world, it is always raining, comfort and happiness are fleeting, love is epic and torturous. On Bloodflowers, the band's 11th studio album, his lyrical prowess continues to astound. Considering the subject matter, Smith's always managed to steer clear of the clich?d, bad-high-school-poetry trap, and on Bloodflowers, the imagery is some of his most vivid and stabbing. On "The Loudest Sound," a story about a couple who are, of course, growing apart, he sings of their tension: "She dreams him as a boy / And he loves her as a girl / And side by side in the silence without a single word / It's the loudest sound I ever heard." The music grows out of the same dichromatic marriage of love's eternal hope and heartbreak's inevitable bleakness. Layers of the Cure's signature ethereal, buoyant guitar licks are paced at the momentum of a lava lamp, while melodies lurk only in an understated synth or distorted guitar. None of the songs scream "radio hit" like Wish's "Friday I'm in Love" anomaly; and although Bloodflowers is less abstract, comparisons to Disintegration are easily drawn. If this really threatens to be the last Cure album--no, really, the real end--it's a vision of loneliness and loveliness, a low note rarely surpassed in beauty and breadth. --Beth Massa
