English gothic rock band The Cure, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, released a new album titled “Songs Of A Lost World” on Nov. 1. The album marks the band’s first release since 2008, highlighting their long hiatus.

The iconic goth rock band finally return with their first album in 16 years, and it was worth the wait. The Cure’s Songs of a Lost World Is Gothic, Depressive, and Beautiful

And so a more honest or accurate survey of The Cure’s greatness might focus on singles or deep cuts or their many compilations instead; I won’t argue with anyone who discovered The Cure from Staring At The Sea and still views their first Greatest Hits as a definitive work.
