Cool ink, SAA!
I'm not all that pleased with the new album. There's nothing particularly inspired about it. Smith's lyrics used to be full of clever double entendres and metaphors years ago. Now it's all whiny relationship stuff. The drummer is way too busy on most of these songs too.
Smith is a much better guitarist than this album shows. I think he'd be better off leaving the Cure and doing some other kind of rock music for a change.
