Is it just the makeup that gets them thrown into that genre?Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304213242825690036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-69461908641530181472015-11-15T20:26:10.210-06:002015-11-15T20:26:10.210-06:00Happy Birthday!

He's very versatile in both his playing and in what he has written, he never gets the credit he deserves for his contribution to the band.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713087113569031134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-72641006742852779282015-11-14T19:17:07.342-06:002015-11-14T19:17:07.342-06:00I don't see Disintegration as an album that wa...I don't see Disintegration as an album that was made "looking back" on anything, much less the early albums. I see it is delving deeper into the darkness and allowing the music to stretch out and take hold (of our hearts). <br /><br />Bands that spend time looking back and rehashing old material don't last as long as the Cure have.

Reeves is going to give us a very different guitar sound from what Robert and Pearl gave us, but I hope we see a return to the twirly, swirly, delay infused sound we all love.Trevor Scrogginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463724624859133612noreply@blogger.com
