Bimbo punch
Cool people are now allowed to like the Cure again. This fact is a balm: I just listened by random chance to the last song from this album (one of two mp3s by the band downloaded in the Napster days, many years ago), and, doing a search for information on the band, since really it's not a bad song, if, like me, you can't actually make out the lyrics, came across this review, concluding thusly:
A great start for themselves and Windraven [their label]. And a return to the old sounds of the Cure and others of that ilk. This is the sound that I left punk for. This is the splendor that made me buy my first set of lipstick and eyeliner.
Yesness! I'll just chalk it up to prescience on my part.

I love the Cure and always have. I saw them two summers ago at the HFStival, a big music festival in DC, and they were amazing. Although my enjoyment was tempered by some multi-pierced girl screaming, "play your old stuff!" Robert Smith can do what he wants, when he wants. For the record, I've never worn lipstick or eyeliner.
