  Review: Wild Mood Swings
On Wild Mood Swings (Elektra), their 10th studio release (available May 7th), the band don't offer any immediate knockouts, but there's enough emotional intricacy and musical flourish (so many cheery blasts of brass!) to make most of it worthwhile.
Wild Mood Swings is a melodramatic title for an album that's free of the moroseness Smith's vocal cords seemed born express at least since he sobbed, "It doesn't matter if we all die" 14 years ago on Pornography (Elektra).
On the other hand, it's not too surprising that one of the stronger Mood Swings songs is "Jupiter Crash." In it a boy and a girl stand on the beach expecting an encounter of cosmic scale, only to drift apart in a tide of disappointment and loneliness.

Wild Mood Swings is the tenth studio album by British alternative rock band The Cure, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music).
We can probably agree that the wild mood swings behind the creature that Dr. Frankenstein pieced together and brought to life made him a highly misunderstood beast.
And it feels incredibly good that "Wild Mood Swings" is the result of a group that makes songs together and not by my overblown ego.

WILD MOOD SWINGS includes some of the most cheerful tunes Smith has ever penned, including the festive "Strange Attraction", punctuated with bells and ukuleles, and the jaunty joyride of "Mint Car".
Wild Mood Swings remains one of the Cure's poorest albums- Smith was stretched by chemicals & extra-curricular activities on 1984's The Top & debut 3 Imaginary Boys has some patchy moments (hence the Boys Don't Cry issue).
This is reflected in the albums title Wild Mood Swings, which was to suggest that finally you could hear The Cure's different styles all brought together on one album.

Wild Mood Swings by The Cure on Rhapsody
Accurately titled, the stylistically diverse Wild Mood Swings sailed to No. 12 in the U.S. pop charts without the aid of their usual breakout single.
This sounded dated in 1996, but it's held up pretty well with the unheralded "Strange Attraction" clocking in as one of the best upbeat numbers on this musically bipolar disc.

Herein lies the crux of the problem with Wild Mood Swings: for the first time in their career, the Cure haven't shook up the equation to any great extent.
Even '92's Wish had some of their most intense material ever, but Wild Mood Swings only fleetingly ventures into anything that could possibly be called new territory.
Wild Mood Swings is probably not as wild as Robert Smith intended it to be.

The band, which consists of Smith, Simon Gallup on bass, Berry Belamonte on guitars, keyboardist Roger O'Donnell and neophyte Jason Cooper on drums, gets playful on Wild Mood Swings, injecting Latin lust into their first single, "The 13th." "Gone!" has a jazzy feel to it, while "Mint Car" and "Return" are decidedly cheery pop.
But the album's not called Wild Mood Swings for nothing, and it has its fair share of dreary songs.
"Wild Mood Swings" has its ups and downs -- but at least for this band, the emotions are genuine.

An album that is generally dispised by fans of the Cure, "Wild Mood Swings" is as different from everything else in the band's catalog as can be, and a the time of release it was a bit jarring.
"Wild Mood Swings" found the Cure crippled-- longtime guitarist Porl Thompson and drummer Boris Williams, who had both been with the band for a decade, left, and leader Robert Smith seemed to have felt painted in a corner stylistically.
For the rest of us, "Wild Mood Swings" is one of the more intriguing things the band has done.

 CMJ Review
Although there is the occasional surprise on a Cure record - lead vocalist/songwriter Robert Smith sounding happy, for example - there isn't much that can (or should) be added to the band's essential sound, making Wild Mood Swings not nearly as chaotic as its title suggests.
In addition to traditional rock instrumentation, there are touches from both a brass and a string quartet, which add another theatrical dimension to the songs.
Robert Smith hasn't done much to change his patented sound - if anything, the additions have lightened his tone a bit - but with something so distinctive that speaks to so many people, there is no reason to do so, and Wild Mood Swings is a fine example of Smith's vision.

 Aug. 27th-Mobile,Al.
The Cure's new album,"Wild Mood Swings," lives up to it's name with dramatic shifts from delicate keyboard arrangements to grinding guitars.The groups first studio release in four years,it was well worth the wait--and so was Tuesday's concert promoting the record in the Mobile Civic Center.
Smith eschewed dark clothes in favor of a Mobile Mysticks jersey,continuing his tour long trend of wearing local sports shirts.However,he did wear his trademark lipstick and eyeliner,which he's said in interviews is necessary if his pale visage is to be seen beyond the third row.
Despite his wild looks,topped by a mop of spidery fl locks,he's no Mick Jagger on stage.Smith usually stuck close to his microphone,concentrating on his lyrics.

It has some shining moments, but half the album is dross of the worst sort, making the album seem a lot worse than it actually is. And believe me, it hurts to have to say this about Robert Smith’s band, it really hurts.
It’s not that the whole Wild Mood Swings thing doesn’t work – it’s just that the band come off as schizophrenics.
To be fair, Wild Mood Swings was the very first Cure CD I purchased, and although I immediately saw its problems, it also convinced me that The Cure were an astonishing band who demanded my attention.

 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.

But by the time WILD MOOD SWINGS came out, I had moved on to different bands and different kinds of music (as is my want).
I recall, after hearing "Mint Car" a few times and sampling a few songs from the album, I decided not to catch the latest Cure wave, as I was getting into groups like 311 instead (I still especially dig 311's first two albums which are much cooler than what you might've caught on the radio).
For a band that specializes in wild mood swings, these aren't their wildest but there's definitely some good stuff here.

 Canadian Living : Hot flashes? Wild mood swings?
Those unpredictable periods, as well as other physiological symptoms such as mood swings, night sweats and vaginal discomfort, could occur for years before the "change" finally arrives.
The result of all this hormonal activity is wacky menstrual periods that can become more or less frequent and may be heavier or lighter than usual.
At the same time, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with its mood swings, bloating and breast soreness, may take on a new intensity and may coexist with other signs of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, memory changes, fatigue and headaches.
