The Cure album postponed again

10.Aug.07 10:33pm

The release of the The Cure's 14th album has been postponed for a second time.

Originally due to be released in May, the release date got pushed back to October but it has now transpired it will not come out until April or May of 2008.

According to Reuters, Robert Smith is still recording material, and previously said he would like to release two versions of the album - a limited edition double-record which he would self-mix and a second CD mixed by another producer.

As of late last year, the band had recorded 33 songs but Smith was reportedly finding it hard to create lyrics for all the material

The Cure will tour North America in September and October.

2008 release, the 13th studio longplayer from the legendary Goth rockers led by Robert Smith. Now down to a quartet (Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson and Jason Cooper), the band continue to musically evolve while dealing with subjects like relationships, the material world, politics and religion. The songs on [title]4:13 Dream[/title] are stripped down and 'in your face' while also sounding very much like The Cure. Includes the singles 'The Only One', 'Freakshow', 'Sleep When I'm Dead' and 'The Perfect Boy.'

1. Underneath The Stars 6:17
2. The Only One 3:55
3. The Reasons Why 4:35
4. Freakshow 2:28
5. Sirensong 2:22
6. The Real Snow White 4:42
7. The Hungry Ghost 4:29
8. Switch 3:42
9. The Perfect Boy 3:21
10. This. Here And Now. With You 4:06

13. It's Over 4:17

They're playing MSG and Radio City on consecutive nights? Most unusual.

Hmmm. The Radio City Music Hall show seems kind of enticing, depending on the tickets.

Love The Cure.

Has anyone in ICE/IMWAN land picked this up yet? I completely missed the boat on this, and haven't seen a physical disc anywhere. Looks like I'll need to order it from AmazWAN.

Linda:

The date that UMD (Geffen' distributor) shows on their B2B site is 09-23-08. Title is still TBA.

The Cure 'Dreams' On With New Album

August 29, 2008 , 11:50 AM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

The Cure's long-in-the-works new album, "4:13 Dream," is slated for an Oct. 14 U.S. release via Suretone/Geffen. The set, which was first expected out in the summer of 2007, has been preceded by the release of singles on the 13th day of each of the past four months.

Those tracks -- "The Only One," "Freakshow," "Sleep When I'm Dead" and "The Perfect Boy" -- will also be the subject of a remix EP dubbed "Hypnagogic States" and due Sept. 13.

30 Seconds To Mars, AFI's Jade Puget, My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump and 65 Days Of Static handled the remixes, royalties from which will be donated to the Red Cross.

"Freakshow" and "The Only One" bounce with the effervescent energy of the band's pop hits, while more menacing tracks like "Sleep When I'm Dead" and "Baby Rag Dog Book" wield a rawer, guitar-driven gusto.

Now, frontman Robert Smith just has to finish piecing it all together. "I've gone through so many revisions, probably more than all of the other records put together," he says.

I've added the pre-order link for the album to the first post.

Are all 4 of those singles scheduled to be on the album?

The A-sides are, not the B-sides, and I think the album mixes will be different.

Top 20? You mean labels actually released 20 different CD singles this year?!?

Bump: the album's release has been pushed back again, this time to October 28th.

Now you can dress up as Robert Smith for Halloween with a brand-new soundtrack!
