For the Cure’s last album, a 2004 self-titled release, Robert Smith employed Limp Bizkit’s producer, giving Cure fans a whole new reason to sob. On the band’s 13th studio album, founding guitarist Porl Thompson has rejoined the ever-changing lineup for the first time since 1993, and Smith has returned to familiar topics: nightmares, perverse sex, existential ruin. The shimmering opening track, “Underneath the Stars,” recalls the Cure’s 1989 gossamer masterwork Disintegration, and lead single “The Only One” is the kind of irresistible petulance-pop that reminds us this band once vied for chart space with Paula Abdul. Amid the frenzied melancholy, there’s filler and a histrionic misstep or two, but for those willfully lost in the perpetual adolescence Smith has always documented, here’s the new soundtrack to Saturday night.
