Free Music Notes for The Only One (Mix 13)
Free Music Review: The Only One
Hit: 4 Stars
As the first single from the Cure's forthcoming 13th album, The Only One sets the tone for what Cure fans can expect of this latest album. The single is poppy and jangly, in the style of The Head on the Door and Wish, and though the song itself isn't as strong as some of the singles from those records, it is a nice single, and a good choice as an opener for the set of four singles. The b-side is an interesting, slightly darker affair, but both songs share a sort of sick fascination for erotica in the lyrics, which are rather X-rated depending on how you interpret them. If The Only One is the worst song on their upcoming album, Cure fans will have much to rejoice about. Though the sound may not be as groundbreaking as that of Disintegration or Bloodflowers, it is a sound that will please many fans that were disappointed their the 2004 self-titled album.Free Music Review: Finally a new Single

Good to hear the Cure back on form.
Saw them perform this live a few times earlier in the year & the almost "fair-ground" feel of the song on the single is a joy really.
The B side is typically quirky & IMO better than the A side.
In fact it wouldn't sound out of place on The Top really.
What does stick in my craw, however, is the fact that the digital download for sale is a poor quality, lossy wma file.
You'd think that a band with the standing of the Cure would at least be able to offer a lossless download.
Even NIN can do that (for free).
Now we need to brace ourselves for June 13th when Fud Show is released.
Here's hoping it's better in the studio than that poppy drivel they are playing currently.

Free Music Review: The Cure have returned
Hit: 4 Stars
The Only One marks the first of several CD's to feature single tracks and b-sides from the Cure forthcoming album tentatively titled "13" (it's their thirteenth album, clever, non?).
The Only One is instantly recognizable as a cure song and carries the band's distinctive and original sound, complete with lyrics that are familiar to any Kiss me kiss me kiss me fan.
Overall, a great intro to what I hope is a great album.
To listen to a sample from the song, visit the cure's official website. If you're a fan of the Cure, order this CD now, each of these singles are limited in number.
Free Music Review: Classic Cure Sound
Hit: 4 Stars
This single sounds like the classic cure sound that harkens back to Wish. If most of the CD sounds like this then I will be pleased. The lyrics start off strong, but do get quirky in the middle. I was a little upset by the quirkiness of the lyrics, but it's usually either gloom and doom with Robert Smith (think Plainsong or alt end) or sticky sweetness like The Only One. The music is reminiscence of Wish and Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me. It's a truly classic cure song and this should go down as one of the all-time classic Cure singles.Free Music Review: It's Okay.

It's nice to have Porl back. The guitar riffs are interesting and reminiscent of songs off Wish...but still it mostly sounds like a look back at earlier great stuff except without as much put into it. It's catchy, but the lyrics are reallly cheesy. The B-Side is pretty good, but only about as good as a Wild Mood Swings B-Side. Still had to give it a 4 since I can't help but like anything The Cure does.
