The Cure - The Cure (2004)

Quote:This album continues the pattern of a release once every four years: Wish (1992), Wild Mood Swings (1996) and Bloodflowers (2000).

The album is the first Cure release on Robinson's I Am label, with whom they signed a three album deal. To promote the album, the band went on several festivals in Europe and the United States in spring 2004. The band also premiered the song "The End of the World" on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. In the Summer of 2004, the band launched the Curiosa festival, where they performed shows across the United States with other bands that have been inspired by The Cure, including Mogwai, Interpol and Muse. The band then performed in Mexico (Monterrey and Mexico City) and then did some more festivals and TV performances in Europe to end 2004. At the end of the year, all of the main twelve songs on The Cure (including "Going Nowhere") were played live.

The Cure album was co-produced by Ross Robinson, who has produced Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, At the Drive-In and a fair few others. Due mainly to the producer's nu metal influence, there are songs on this album much heavier than ever before, although the classic Cure sound still shines through. Smith has described it as "Cure heavy", as opposed to "nu metal heavy." According to the liner notes, the entire album was recorded live in the studio.
