The year was 1989. Uncle Robert and company had produced a vaguely funk album two years earlier, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, a joyful and atypical record for him.
Indeed, here he is again descending into the abyss with this masterpiece. To this day (along with Faith and Pornography) the best dark album ever released in the history of music. An album with decadent, subtle lyrics, a sound different from the "resigned malice" of Pornography. Notable are the famous (with an unforgettable video) Lullaby but also the less obvious and publicized tracks like Untitled (desperately pushed into the eyes of the ghost, again... desperately fighting the diabolic futility... and now the time is gone, another unfinished time...).
Robert Smith's creativity reaches its peak here, and it was the last masterpiece by The Cure. After that, only interesting episodes (Wish, Bloodflowers), but we were used to much more, right??
