Just when you thought you’d heard Robert Smith and The Cure every which way but bad, we discover more from their huge back catalogue. This time in the form of World War, a compilation of rare demos that takes its name for the band’s seminal early single, which appears in a particular raw and unfettered, grinding version on this collection. A sound that defines the overall aesthetic. Rough and ready but packed full of energy, the huge landmark ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ feels more intimate as a result, ‘Fire In Cairo’ arguably more punk, ‘M’ more New Romantic, and ‘Heroin Face’ less compromising than ever before. If all that sounds like bullshit talking, we implore you to take a listen and see what you think – the smart money is on us agreeing in the end.
