Tracks: 1: Sleep When I'm Dead (Mix 13) 2: Down Under

No complaints here.
The first song "Sleep When I'm Dead" is absolutely wonderful. . verry remny of early Cure songs from albums like "Disintegration" and "Pornography". The second song is just ok. . . not bad. My favorite thing to say here is that allthough the music is raw. . . the qaulity is fantastic. Verry loud. . . a well produced album. . err, siingle. . . whatever.


The Curious World of B-Sides Part II
Be it Robert's determined voice or Porl Thompson's guitar work. As with my previous review of "The Perfect Boy", if you are a long time Cure fan you'll find something to like about this single and b-side. Put this silver platter on a high end system and you'll hear the sonic landscape created by these British music icons. And if you don't, simply hit repeat. .


Best one of the singles
Sure, as with all of the singles the sound quality lacks, is far too compressed, and lacking character, but song-wise this is definitely the best. "Sleep When I'm Dead" is definitely the most Cure-like of the new singles, and a little adventurous even. Plus, "Down Under" is one of the best recorded new songs I've heard!.


Sleep when I'm Dead
Both songs are great! I personally like the second song better however they are both great!.


Lets get real here
But as far as Cure tunes go, this is a classic. No this single isn't going to change the world or stop world hunger. Bob's doing just what he wants, just like he's done since 'Japanese Whispers'. Aside from the fact thats its a 'head on the door' out take, its got everything this old school cure fan expects-psychedelic guitars, textural layers, and lyrics that reward multiple listens. Oh and he's taking the piss outta all the naysayers to boot. 'Down Under' is a great trippy, aural tune that sticks in the brain and leaves me wanting more. It's great to hear Porl back on guitars. If that's a throw away track I cant wait to see whats on the album.
