Some years after announcing he was set to -- to paraphrase one of his songs -- go to bed once and for all, leaving the Cure on the shelf, Robert Smith has returned with a disc that not only lives up to the band's considerable legacy but furthers it considerably. Smith has been a palpable influence on generations of mope-meisters, including the current crop of emo purveyors, who could learn a thing or two from both the bracingly loud and gnashing Us or Them, perhaps the most overtly modern-sounding tune on the self-titled disc, and the comparatively gentle Lost, which swathes Smith's disoriented lyrics in a lurching acoustic swirl. Obsessions with doom and gloom still loom large over some songs here, such as Labyrinth, a brooder that could have appeared on {|Seventeen Seconds|}, and the desperate-sounding The Promise, which closes the disc with an increasingly frenzied soliloquy about death and those left in its wake. But as he did on many of middle-period Cure albums, such as {|Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me|}, Smith leavens the mood here and there with disarmingly bouncy pop songs like the shimmering Before Three. There's not enough sweetness and light here to worry longtime fans who prefer to accentuate the negative, but the balance between chiming notes and suicide notes is struck finely enough to establish The Cure as the band's most absorbing album in a decade or more.
