Al King's Album Reviews
14th LP their first in 16 years was written/arranged by Robert Smith and recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales. Sounding regal, weary, melancholic and bleak but beautiful. Haunted by bereavement, he grapples with mortality and doubt as only he could. The album has same slow-moving grandeur of Disintegration, delivered in deep, drawn-out, sweeping movements. A fitting swansong I suspect for this great band.
