It's not a perfect record, but "The Cure" does achieve something quite remarkable and unexpected. It leaves you looking forward to their next one. ...more
Tiny Mix Tapes
This is a much better effort than anything they've done in quite some time. ...more
Rolling Stone
The new album is their most adventurous and passionate since Disintegration. ...more
Playlouder
Keep giving it a whirl though and it becomes something rather exquisite. ...more
Stylus Magazine

Cure have been together longer than most NME readers have been alive. Robert Smith, his hair, his lipstick, his band, his songs about claustrophobia, love, loneliness, love, huge spiders and love, they've always been there. Twenty-five years since ...more
Austin Chronicle

Pitchfork
Invoking Disintegration is ridiculous, but The Cure is remarkably more thrilling a listen than the band's most recent guitar-heavy predecessors. ...more
Pitch Fork Media

E! Online
It's hard to imagine a set of songs that better reflects every phase the group has navigated through its turbulent career. ...more

The lyric invention of past Cure albums is missing, but the pop transcendence emerges in fits. ...more
Flak Magazine
If approached with a substantial amount of skepticism and wariness, The Cure is not a complete disappointment. In fact, it's often surprisingly good and sometimes even great. ...more
Billboard
Some of its most appealing material in recent memory. ...more
PopMatters
Not the fresh start the band truly needed, The Cure at least succeeds in validating the current lineup of the band, as it is a compelling reminder of what made the Cure so great for so long. ...more
