I know it's kinda obvious but the Cure is one of the greatest bands to come out of the 80's and this a one of they're darker, more guitar heavy albums that we all love.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Cure
Parents need to know that The Cure offers no surprises on their new self-titled album. The enduring British goth idols slam through 11 new tunes with self-indulgent angst and a bloody head or two -- nothing shocking to older fans of the band. Except for an occasional "f--k," the lyrics are no cause for concern.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the poetic lyrics of the band. What do deep lyrics add to a song? How are strong lyrics able to stand on their own without even needing a melody? Families can also ask their kids why they think The Cure has had such staying power over the years.

This is the music I like
...read the name. The lead singer in this band is very talented, and the music is good (I have heard better though). People get this idea from the cover that it's this metal stuff that burns your ears after a few seconds...it's not, it's quality rock.

Good!
I am glad to hear this album. It was much better then much of their newer albums. Now that the Cure are a great band again, maybe the Pixies will regroup and make another album (one can only hope).
