| | RockNet Interview: The Cure's Robert Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | Just to make sure that he didn't turn into a grumpy old rocker, Smith spent plenty of time with his 17 nieces and nephews in the four-year gap before releasing the Cure's latest album, "Wild Mood Swings," which is now in stores. |
 | | The general consensus on the last studio album, 1992's "Wish," was that it was a less bummer experience, thanks to "Friday I'm in Love" and "Doing the Unstuck," than 1990's "Disintegration," although that was enlivened by "Love Song" and "Lullaby." Smith says "Wild Mood Swings" is harder to define, but perhaps a more accessible effort. |
 | | Smith will be on the road until Christmas with the lineup featured on "Wild Mood Swings:" incumbent bassist Simon Gallup and guitarist Perry Bamonte, re-hired keyboardist Roger O'Donnell, and new drummer Jason Cooper, who answered an ad in the paper. |
