According to their website, it looks like the European festival circuit.

Complete band breakup and everything all changed around....that just got me to wondering. Robert Smith has lost his mind this time round.

They sort of had interchangeable parts throughout their history. It's always been Robert Smith's baby.

I sometimes wonder if he ever had it. But, that's not necessarily a bad thing!
BTW- doesn't this thread belong in the Music forum? :P

100% correct. i think Simon Gallup and Lawrence Tolhurst were sort of long timers--but i stopped paying attention to RS after the stinkup that was Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me. Disintegration is pretty decent i guess (though many gush about it like it was Sgt. Peppers). Head on the Door is my personal fave but Boys Don't Cry is up there. Pornography and Faith sound a little dated these days--but good...compared to most receycled garbage that traffics as "indie pop"--how many MORE bands will try and sound like Syd Barrett or Dinosaur Jr. on the local college station?

JMO.

There's a reason why the "Wish" album was more upbeat, relatively speaking.
It's 'cause Lol got shown the door!

"Disintegration" is my personal Cure fave, but "Head On The Door" is not far behind, IMO.

I still think this thread is more appropriate to the Music forum! :P
