 Finally a new Single May 24, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Good to hear the Cure back on form.
Saw them perform this live a few times earlier in the year & the almost "fair-ground" feel of the song on the single is a joy really.
The B side is typically quirky & IMO better than the A side.
In fact it wouldn't sound out of place on The Top really.
What does stick in my craw, however, is the fact that the digital download for sale is a poor quality, lossy wma file.
You'd think that a band with the standing of the Cure would at least be able to offer a lossless download.
Even NIN can do that (for free).
Now we need to brace ourselves for June 13th when Fud Show is released.
Here's hoping it's better in the studio than that poppy drivel they are playing currently.

Good single, better b-side July 2, 2008

'The Only One' is good single with a classic Cure sound. However, its perhaps a bit to generic; a fairly 'safe' first single. I honestly prefer the b-side 'NY Trip'. That second track has more personality, with vocal and piano elements adding a bit of uniqueness. If 'NY Trip' doesn't make it on the album, this single is a must buy.
 loved it July 3, 2008

I LOVE The Cure but I don't think either of these songs are their best work. I agree that The Only One sounds musically like an outtake from Wish but lyrically it reminds me of the silliness that was The 13th from Wild Mood Swings. I was embarrassed by that song and I'm feeling the same way with this one. Perhaps it will grow on me but it's not one of those songs that's going to get a non-fan to stand up and listen.
 Good, but far from great. June 23, 2008

With a band who's been around as long as the CURE, you know that anything new is going to sound like SOMETHING from their past. This sounds like the "Wish" album, and while that is one of my favorite Cure albums, I can't help but think, especially after their last dismal album from 2004, that if you're going to aspire to something from your past, why not make it "Disintegration"? It doesn't have to sound like that album - but I was hoping that we'd hear something grand, eloquent, epic and monumental this time around. Judging from these two songs (and especially the horrid new single, the tuneless "Freak Show") I don't think that this is going to be that album!
