Free Music Notes for The Only One (Mix 13)Free Music Review: Too much High, not enough Friday I'm in Love Hit: 3 Stars
I like this song much better than "Sleep When I'm Dead" or "Freakshow", but it seems almost as inconsequential as "High". "High" is decent enough, but when it was left off their most recent greatest hits and when I don't hear it live, it's not a tragic loss. But, the singles are always worth it for the non-album B-Sides. Maybe I'll change my mind about "The Only One" after the album comes out. I found "Freakshow" unlistenable until I saw The Cure perform it live, and now it's grown on me--I sort of understand it as "Hot Hot Hot" in the scheme of things, but I still don't think it'll get in the top 2/3 of my favorite songs by the band.
Free Music Review: Refreshing...and little more Hit: 3 Stars
While far away from being one of their best singles, this one at least succeeds in transmitting you a kind of sympathetic sensation, some mix of joyful vibe with bossa nova tunes they desperately sought for in wild mood swings with (for me, at least) terrible results. For a devoted admirer of the darkee-indie Cure of earlier years, not really enthusiastic about it, but let's say it's ok. A decent effort.
Free Music Review: Eh... try again Hit: 2 Stars
I LOVE The Cure but I don't think either of these songs are their best work. I agree that The Only One sounds musically like an outtake from Wish but lyrically it reminds me of the silliness that was The 13th from Wild Mood Swings. I was embarrassed by that song and I'm feeling the same way with this one. Perhaps it will grow on me but it's not one of those songs that's going to get a non-fan to stand up and listen.
Free Music Review: these guys are a way too redundant to be releasing singles Hit: 1 Stars
especially when you can download it for free. this band needs to finally go away. wish was a horrible album that did not stand the test of time, so i'm a little confused as to why "harkening" back to wish is a good thing. who is still listening to this band anyways? i find it hard to believe that anyone under the age of 28 would have ever gone through a cure stage in the first place. robert smith stopped making worthwhile albums sometime back in the 80's, mostly because he took it for granted that he still had talent. musically they are totally indistinguishable, and lyrically, well its pretty sad someone pushing 50 is writing jr. high lyrics, only jr. high kids have long since moved on and he hasn't.
