Are you losers ready to cry?

Decent cover, good song. I am ready for a good Cure album again.

I mean the song is immediately the best thing they've done since Wish, which is already a positive. Will probably wait until it's out before making a decision to purchase, but it's nice to be optimistic.

never been a Cure fan specifically (they’ve got some good tunes, ofc) but gave this song a listen today & thoroughly enjoyed it.

Same. Never a mad fan but do really like some of their tunes. A lot of their stuff, even the classic albums have plenty of stuff that doesn't interest me. They also have great b-sides. 

[Scaramouche]

What a nice surprise. 

Liking Alone a lot. Maybe this album will be the perfect soundtrack to my impending SAD as winter approaches.

Cure was my favorite band throughout the 90s, but haven't Loved an album since Wish (even though I though half of Wild Mood Swings was great).  Definitely looking forward to this one as they've been killing it live lately.  That said, this single just sounds Nice to me, rather than leaves me salivating.

the cd + blu-ray edition is pretty cool in terms of what it includes:

• Includes the album and instrumentals on two CDs
• Blu-ray with Hi-Res stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes

This is becoming a format of choice for deluxe editions, Thompson Twins are doing the same:

Good to see Exploding Boy and A Few Hours After This....

I had the double cassette version of Staring At The Sea which had the B-sides (the CD and vinyl versions didn't) and I was blown away when I heard those two tracks. Amazing stuff to chuck on a B-side.

The b-sides for Disintegration and Wish were some of my fav Cure tracks.

I've been wanting to see them live for a while now hopefully this will be the opportunity! Very excited for this album
